- I like stations that are unique—Forest Glen (served only by elevators, no escalators) and Wheaton for their “double barrel shotgun” design; Pentagon and Rosslyn, the system’s two bi-level stations; Huntington with its special “incline elevator;” and of course L’Enfant Plaza for the dogonauts!

(Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line) Many of the metro stations on this list put you in close proximity to Washington DC’s monuments, but none quite as impressively as Smithsonian Station. Take the northern exit and you will be presented with a breathtaking view of the US Capitol Building and the Washington Monument as you exit directly onto t...
(Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line) Located at the Reagan Building, and across the street from the Old Post Office Pavilion, the area around the Federal Triangle Station’s surroundings are impressive immediately.

The area is also filled with federal office buildings. While closer to ...
(Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line) Few people think of Washington DC without images of the residence of the President of the United States of America at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The White House is as iconic as any other DC landmark, and McPherson Sq Station is the easiest way to get a glimpse of this national icon.

(Orange Line, Blue Line, and Silver Line) Located on the campus of George Washington University, Foggy Bottom Station is the closest to the Lincoln Memorial, and other attractions on the west end of the National Mall (though it is still nearly a mile away).

(Red Line) Aside from Arlington Cemetery Station, Woodley Park Station is the only station on our list that isn’t in the heart of downtown Washington DC, and the National Mall. That’s because most of the attractions you’re visiting DC to see are located in a fairly concentrated, but there’s one location we think that you need to consider. Run by th...
(Orange Line, Blue Line, Silver Line, Green Line, and Yellow Line) The final station on our list is again near the National Mall, and is closest to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. But L'Enfant Station is also on the list because it is, along with the Smithsonian Station, one of the easiest places from which to get to the Jefferson Memori...
