TIPS FOR ON-SHORE EXCURSIONS

 

Driving in the Region:

• Need a car?  Save with off-airport car rentals by reserving your car at the Sheraton Suites hotel.

• All toll roads in the area use electronic tolling via EZ-Pass, credit card, or toll by mail.

• D.C. traffic is just as crazy as ever!

 

Public Transportation Options:

• DASH bus, a free bus service for the City of Alexandria.

• WMATA is the bus and subway system in the Metro region.  The subway serves:

  • Dulles International Airport (requires transfers and a bus)

  • Reagan National Airport

  • Washington DC, and

  • Close in suburbs in Virginia and Maryland.

• From Dulles or Baltimore Washington International (BWI) airports, shuttles are quicker and more convenient.

• Call the hotel to reserve free shuttle service from the Reagan National Airport; shuttles run between 7 am – 11 pm.

 

Museums and More:

• If you haven’t been to the Washington DC area in a while, the Smithsonian Museums are still free; however, some require reserving tickets for timed entry.  Check first to stave off disappointment.

• Visiting the high school; check back for tour options.
