Explorer's Guide Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia : Rather than another encyclopedic laundry list of everything in the nation's capital, this book delves into the elements that make Washington, D.C. and the Virginia suburbs of Arlington and Alexandria a truly great U.S. destination. Distinctive for their accuracy, simplicity, and conversational tone, the diverse travel guides in our Explorer's Great Destinations series meet the conflicting demands of the modern traveler. They're packed full of up-to-date information to help plan the perfect getaway. And they're compact and light enough to come along for the ride. A tool you'll turn to before, during, and after your trip, these guides include: chapters on lodging, dining, transportation, history, shopping, recreation; a section packed with practical information, such as lists of banks, hospitals, post offices, laundromats, numbers for police, fire, and rescue, and other relevant information; maps of regions and locales; and more.
We visited Washington DC a few years back and found it rather complicated getting to all the places we wished to see. I am looking forward to another trip with this book in hand to navigate the sights as well as restaurants as it seems to be very straight forward and easy to understand.

Simple, easy reading! If we wanted information about something/anything in the area, it was so easy to find. More than enough information was given in a way that was easy to understand, but yet very informative. I think the authors must enjoy most of the things we like, because their comments and thoughts on places that we went to, were exactly what we thought too. Once we realized that they thought the same way we did, it was easier to decide whether to visit or eat at the places that they suggested. I would recommend buying this book if you are going to Washington D.C. - it really will make your stay a LOT easy because there is so much to see and you can not see it all. I am positive that it helped us have a fun trip. Thanks again! Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia: Great Destinations: A Complete Guide (Great Destinations)
