Why visit
Washington, DC is easy to justify: free national museums, monuments, neighborhoods, food, transit, archives, and political architecture in a walkable core. It works for a first US history trip and for repeat museum days.
When to avoid
Do not visit Washington, DC expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. The map of Washington, DC is only half the problem. Hours, heat, rain, crowds, and transport decide what is realistic. In Washington, DC, distance, heat, parking, car dependence, and uneven transit can matter more than the list of sights. In Washington, DC, plan routes realistically and use rideshares or a car where transit is weak.
