Washington DC is fraught with free things to do, regardless of the time of the year. Tip: Take into account conventions and political events so your road trip sightseeing doesn't get delayed.
  • Visit Honest Abe at the Lincoln Memorial then stroll along the Reflecting Pool to encounter the gravesite WWII Memorial.
  • Take in a free show nightly at The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage at 6pm.
  • See the National Mall with DC by Foot, a mobile tour organization that gives kid-accommodating tours mixed with amusements, fun actualities and trivia.
  • Get your trekking boots and hike your route down the C&O Canal Towpath, which follows the Potomac from Georgetown to Cumberland, MD.
  • Experience Little Rome with a visit to the long-standing Roman Catholic establishments situated in the Brookland neighborhoods, including the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the Franciscan Monastery and Garden, the Catholic University and the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center.
  • More or less $10 will get you falafel and fries until 4 am on weekends at Amsterdam Falafelshop. They even offer a choice between wheat or white pitas, and they don't utilize spoons, forks or plates with an end goal to decrease waste.
  • Take a free volunteer-guided tour at one of DC's numerous exhibition halls and other social foundations, including the National Archives, the National Air and Space Museum, the Washington National Cathedral and some more. Before you go, make a point to check the site of every venue for particular subtle elements.
  • Exploit DC's adequate green space and pick a spot to travel with companions or crew. The National Arboretum, Rock Creek Park, the Carter's grounds Barron Amphitheatre and the National Mall all offer space ideal for a great outing against the country's scenery capital city.
  • Visit Eastern Market on weekend mornings to peruse the work of nearby artisans.
  • There is free standup parody demonstrated consistently at Ri Ra Irish Pub in Arlington (Clarendon zone) VA on Wednesday evenings and at Topaz Hotel in DC (Dupont Circle zone) on Thursday evenings. Both shows begin at 8 pm and are open to the general population. They usually have a post-show joke challenge called "Everyone's A Comedian" where consistent group of onlookers can come up in front of an audience and tell their best joke.
  • The FreeInDC website is loaded with events that are free, gift based, or $10 or less and open by Metro or transport in Virginia, Maryland or DC. On the off chance that you are looking for social events look at CultureCapital.com's free area gathering together events from about 300 moderators all through DC.
  • Guests don't need to share any specific religious perspective to go sightseeing inside the Shrine's Basilica of the Immaculate Conception situated on Michigan Avenue. Throughout the years the Shrine has included a few houses of prayer from Ireland, Africa, Poland and different nations, giving some knowledge into the religious perspective of every country. The tour is justified regardless of the time spent going to 70 houses of prayer/sanctum destinations in an hour, including the lower level containing graves and the first church, alongside blessing shop, book shop, and lounge area.
