Visiting Washington, DC   Maps and Directions  

Parking in DC and on Capitol Hill

Our advice is to take the Metro or a taxi (easily hailed on most streets in DC) as parking in DC is a pain.

Getting to Capitol Hill by Metro
Using the Metro is highly recommended as parking in the area is extremely limited.

Blue Line or Orange Line:  The Capitol South Metro elevator is on the Northwest corner of 1st Street SE and D Street SE.   Take the Metro Blue Line or the Metro Orange Line to the Capitol South station
