With only one day and you%26#39;ve never been here before, here%26#39;s what I suggest---Take a walk along the Mall and see the monuments and memorials. Walk by the White House and the Capitol. If museums interest you, check out the Smithsonian%26#39;s website --- www.si.edu -- to see which ones interest you most. Then perhaps, spend some time visiting one of your choosing.

Thanks for the info,

I just found out that I will be staying at the Grand Hyatt- from the map it looks like it%26#39;s close to everything....

What is good to see in that area?

I would spend the morning doing some type of tour, either Tourmobile or Old Town Trolleys or similar. This will provide the most ';bang for the buck'; in terms of making use of your limited time. You%26#39;ll see a lot of sites in a couple of hours, and get a sense of where things are if you want to go back in the afternoon and see one or two particular things.

The Grand Hyatt isn%26#39;t particularly close to any of the major tourist sites. Having said that, it isn%26#39;t particulary far either! :)

You can walk from there to the White House and you%26#39;ll be a lot closer to it then you will on the Tourmobile or other tours.

I think you can do a combination of both ideas.

I like the idea of picking one or 2 Smithsonians (depending upon how fast you can go through museums) to do during the day and then doing a late afternoon/evening tourmobile of the monuments at night. You can get to these by foot, cab or metro.

Since the museums close early and the monuments are open 24/7, doing the Smithsonian stuff during the day and taking something like the Grayline Washington After Dark tour which will take you to all the memorial and let you out, and then do a drive-by of the other stuff, this will help you get the most out of your day.

Tourmobile stops at 4:30.

Grayline%26#39;s Washington After Dark tour starts at 7:45 so you can take a break, have a nice dinner and then take the tour.

Sometimes hotel concierge%26#39;s have discount or free passes for you for different tour companies. It never hurts to ask.
