Pauline Frommer's Washington D.C. (Paperback, 1st ed)

Spend Less and See More in Washington, D.C.

If you'd like to get the most out of your dollar and your trip, this is the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way--the way locals do.

Instead of spending $300 a night for a faceless chain hotel, why not spend $95 for a night at a cozy B&B with fireplace and private garden, or rent your own apartment and pretend you're a Washingtonian for just $125 a night?

Or how about enjoying an Ethiopian feast, complete with a dance show (for about $7 per person), or a burger and a beer at the pub where Jack wooed Jackie?

Let me show you the "other" Washington--the one only insiders know about. Learn some of the fundamentals of being a spy, or visit some of DC's less well-known world-class museums. These are only a couple of the great ways to get closer to the culture of Washington. Read on for more!
