An essential walking tour guide to one of the most walkable and historic cities in the US, perfect for first-time visitors and longtime residents alike


This updated 6th edition of the perennial favorite Washington on Foot features 24 user-friendly maps, including new content on the Wharf, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, H Street NE, and the Brookland/Catholic University neighborhood.
 
With architectural illustrations and fascinating information on the city's history and culture, Washington on Foot makes touring DC (and its neighboring Old Town Alexandria and Takoma Park) easy, entertaining, and educational. The book guides readers on how to best appreciate all the city has to offer, from familiar monuments and museums to hidden gems and lesser-known historic sites and neighborhoods. Some exciting stops include:

  • US Botanic Garden
  • Dumbarton Oaks
  • National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden
  • Friendship Firehouse
  • Mexican Cultural Institute
  • Old Georgetown Incinerator

There's no better way to experience the history and culture of the nation's capital than to walk through it and catch details you might miss otherwise. Washington on Foot highlights those details, large and small, to make for an unbeatable DC experience.
