Washington Guide and Subway

Discover Washington, DC with a city guide that brings sightseeing, Metro maps, walking routes and your daily itinerary together. Explore the National Mall, choose a museum, find your next neighbourhood stop and build a visit around what interests you.

From a first weekend in the capital to a return trip with more time to explore, Washington City Guide helps you turn a list of places into a personal plan on iPhone and iPad. Choose a few highlights then leave space for discoveries along the way.

DISCOVER THE CAPITAL
Explore illustrated place guides covering monuments, museums, historic neighbourhoods, parks, cafes, restaurants and evening venues. Search for a place, browse by area and find practical notes, highlights, addresses and links to official visitor information. Plan time around the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Capitol Hill, Georgetown and the Tidal Basin.

MAKE THE NATIONAL MALL YOUR OWN
Use a dedicated National Mall and Tidal Basin map to explore nine landmarks and memorials. Open place details, choose your next stop and follow links to official information. Build a shorter outing around the places you want to see instead of trying to cover everything in one day.

MUSEUMS WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH
Keep a culture passport for eight museums and cultural stops, with visited places saved on your device. Explore art, history, science and national collections. The One Museum, One Walk feature pairs a main visit with an optional next stop, lets you save both to My Day and request the walking connection. Check entry arrangements through the official links before you go.

EXPLORE ON FOOT
Choose from eight curated walking ideas, including the western Mall, Tidal Basin, Capitol Hill, Georgetown and a U Street evening. See suggested stops and practical notes, then request walking directions through Apple Maps. These flexible outings help you leave room for a meal, a museum visit or a pause by the river.

BUILD YOUR OWN DAILY ITINERARY
Save places to My Day, create multiple days, reorder stops, add notes and adjust visit durations. Keep a museum morning, an afternoon walk and an evening plan together. Your saved plans stay on your device, ready to revisit as your trip takes shape. Add a place while browsing and return to it when you are ready to organise the day.

METRO AND REGIONAL TRANSPORT
Browse the Washington transit network with Metrorail, Metrobus and regional rail and bus information. Explore routes, stops and network maps, and use the connection planner to investigate a journey. The guide includes a stored transport reference covering services such as MARC and VRE alongside the city's Metro network.

Transit information is a saved snapshot, not live departures or a current timetable. Connection estimates do not include reliable waiting times or real-time disruptions. Check the displayed data dates and official operator information before travelling.

MORE THAN THE MAIN SIGHTS
Find ideas for food, coffee and an evening out. Explore Georgetown streets, Capitol Hill stops and places beyond the Mall. Use the city map to put your choices in context, then save the ones that fit your day. Original illustrations bring the guide to life and are artistic interpretations rather than photographs.

PRACTICAL HELP FOR YOUR VISIT
Read arrival guidance for Reagan National (DCA), Dulles (IAD) and Baltimore/Washington (BWI). Open local time and weather information, explore travel essentials and browse links to tours and experiences. Provider websites handle availability, reservations and purchases; saving a place in the guide does not book admission.

USEFUL BEFORE AND DURING YOUR TRIP
Read the local guide content and revisit saved plans offline. Maps, walking directions, weather, tours and external websites need an internet connection. Check official sources for opening hours, tickets, access and temporary closures.
