Richmond locals and visitors are indeed fortunate to be able to access all the wonderful attractions and activities of Washington DC in less than two hours by road or rail. What makes Washington DC even more attractive is that so many of the city’s world class museums and attractions are free of charge. Nobody could fail to be impressed with a visit to a few of the seventeen Smithsonian Museums (including the stunning Air and Space Museum), all of which offer their treasures free of charge.

A walk along the beautiful National Mall to visit one of the world’s most recognized buildings, the U.S. Capitol, is a must-do part of your day.
