Skip the dull tour guides, ditch those unruly maps, and experience Washington, D.C. like a native--on foot! Whether you're a first-time visitor or you just want to discover new terrain, 'The City Walks Deck: Washington, D.C.' will give you an intimate view of the city. Each card in this deck outlines a self-guided walking adventure, with a detailed map on one side and insider information on the other. From the prestigious government buildings, memorials, and museums in the federal district (like the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court) to the historic neighborhoods like Georgetown and Dupont Circle, you'll discover the locals' favorite places to eat, drink, shop, rest, walk, and play. Pick any card and start exploring Washington, D.C.!
So I did! :-) Yesterday I had my first DC-on-foot adventure, and I loved it! I started with Card #1 (the proper place to start, of course) and was pleased to discover that, though the walks do include the most popular DC destinations, it took me to many places I had never before visited! Yesterday's adventure included the Freer Gallery of Art, Jim Hensen exhibit at the International Gallery, Smithsonian Castle, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (Asian Art), National Museum of African Art, and Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum (modern art).
Admittedly, a lot of art for one day! But I figure, I live here now--I should see everything! It was amazing to me that I was able to do so much in one day, for free, and only just scratch the surface of things to see and explore in DC. I literally did all that in about a block! I'm excited to continue going through the cards and explore things I never knew existed in this 10 mile by 10 mile city full of activity! So be assured, when you come to visit, we will embark on at least one Adventure on Foot!
