Lonely Planet Washington DC Travel Guide 2024 - Best Attractions, Maps & Insider Tips | Perfect for Family Vacations & Solo Adventures

I have used Lonely Planet guides for previous tips, most notably to Western Europe and the western United States. All have met and exceed expectations. The Lonely Planet Washington DC guide is similarly great! The Plan Your Trip section is well organized, I especially like the Month-by-Month and Like A Local sections. Attractions and entertainment are are thoroughly described, including when and how to register for tours (many sites require advanced registration). The maps are very helpful (I still rely on paper maps for the best true navigation tool) and the transportation details are clear and helpful. Like any trip to a large, complex venue advanced planning is required. Reading & re-reading the guide is pleasant and useful, and if doe in an organized fashion yields a comprehensive picture of Washington DC which will help make any trip a success. Highly recommend the guide.
