Yes, Washington D.C. is home to streets and avenues of Greco-Roman inspired architecture, unrivaled (and free) museums and, of course, unique monuments, but it is the political presence you feel the most.

This is the Superbowl stadium for every past or present player in the game of politics. The Mall serves as center field, with Lincoln, Jefferson, the WWII and Vietnam Memorials on one end, reminding us of the past battles this city has seen, and Congress, confronting current issues, looming at the other end. In between, the White House stands ready to take the field while the Supreme Court sits back waiting to settle the inevitable skirmishes that arise. Surrounding them are the supporting players, the Treasury, The Library of Congress and all the various Departments that run every feasible aspect of public life. Meanwhile, Washington Cathedral stands ready to console the battered and bereaved.

All of this is clearly laid out for you on our STREETWISE® Washington DC Street Map. Sites, whether political or not, are listed as well as hotels, transportation and parks. A separate inset of the Mall details each site. You can find relief from the political playoffs by getting outside of the city and into the bucolic region of the Mid-Atlantic, as seen on the Washington DC Area map.

Our pocket size map of Washington D.C. is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Washington D.C. map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®. Buy your STREETWISE® Washington D.C. map today and you too can navigate DC like a native. For a larger selection of our detailed travel maps simply type STREETWISE MAPS into the Amazon search bar.

5Outstanding map... but get the right one  Apr 10, 2007 By Joseph Boone
Streetwise maps are laminated and meant to fold up small enough to fit in a hip pocket. This map of Washington DC includes a small street index as well as an index of local attractions. There are also indexes for top attractions, parks, and public buildings. The map itself is very clear and well marked. It includes a small separate map showing the routes that the Metro trains follow. Additionally, there is page that shows a blown up map of the Mall that is amazing in its clarity as it really highlights the locations of all the museums, monuments, etc. in this highly popular tourist area.

One should be aware, however, that Amazon sells two different Streetwise maps for DC. One is labeled as "Compact" and is just 6.75" tall. The other is a bit bigger at 8.6". While this doesn't sound like a big difference, it has a huge impact on how easy it is to read the map. The small one has very fine print and can be quite difficult to make out. The larger one will still fit in a pocket and will also take major strain off of your eyes. Make sure you have the right one prior to ordering, amazon even mingles the reviews for the two so it can be a bit confusing.

5Invaluable.  Apr 05, 2004
These laminated maps are great. They're durable and survive being toted around from pocket to bag to car to wherever. I always get one for my travel destinations and wouldn't be without it. This DC map has well-marked Metro stops and places of interest. It packs as much as it can into its size.

5Amazingly Useful and Handy  Feb 02, 2007 By Mrs. Night Owl
I was in Washington DC for a month with my husband (he was on business) and I spent my days touring the sites. This map had been recommended to me, but I honestly wasn't so sure how handy it would be.

OMG - it really was perfect. There's not much you could do to improve it. I/we used this map every day. It has an enlarged portion that covers the Mall where all the monuments are located. This part is conveniently on the outside when the map is folded up so you can discretely look at it without giving the impression that you're a lost tourist. It was also handy for locating the metro stops in relation to the sites.

I am a very experienced traveler and this product deserves nothing short of a high recommendation.

5Best DC Map  Aug 12, 2007 By B. Walker
This was the best source for helping us maneuver through the maze of buildings, monuments, and memorials in Washington, DC. The map is very functional. Flip it one way and you see the Metro, flip it another way you see the mall, still another and you have a DC area map. Since it's laminated, I kept it in my pocket while walking around and didn't worry about it getting sweaty or damaged. I really like the detailed names of the buildings and monuments near and around the national mall. Metro stops and streets are well marked. The next best thing to GPS.

5Don't leave the hotel without it!  Nov 04, 2007 By C. Merrill
We used this guide everyday of our trip to Washington, DC. The subway guide was especially useful. I never felt lost, and didn't waste any time trying to figure out where to go. It was such an important thing to have each day, we double checked each time we left the hotel to make sure we had it. I highly recommend it.
