How to Navigate Washington, D.C. Without Going Nuts

I took the DC Metro for many years and it is wonderful. The advice not to use it is a big disservice to the tourist.

Metro covers the important parts of DC, and goes into nearby Virginia and Maryland. It works great and is clean, safe, and fast. (Not everyone can bike a lot of miles, and the weather may not allow this.) One can put, say, $20 on a fare card, and the fares are automatically deducted. When necessary, you can add money to the card. A good strategy is to stay along Wilson Blvd. in Arlington, and use the Metro for the short ride to and from DC.
