ALL MUSEUMS if there are Covid restrictions

This changes day by day, but review the Museum's website to see if tickets are needed for specified times.
Ukuhamba-hamba

Public transit or ride share?

It's hit and miss due to pandemic rollbacks and ongoing construction. We'd recommend ride share services to get there quick.
Ukuhamba-hamba

Is DC safe?

We have lived in DC for 11+ years and have never had an issue with break-ins, mugging, etc. Having said that, it is still a city and you should keep your wits about you. Keep phones and valuables in your pockets, do not walk anywhere alone, and be generally aware of your surroundings.
