GETTING AROUND DC:

WMATA Metro System Map

If you loose your card

or you need ANY help,
please dont be afraid
to ask the WMATA
Police or Metro Transit
Employees for help!
Thats what they are
there for!
Also,
Metro
Access
is a WMATA Shuttle
System available for
persons with disabilities.
To the left is a map of the
WMATA Metro System
and below is a QR Code
for the WMATA website. A
larger version of this map
with more detail can also
be found via Navigate
DC QR Code on the
back of this brochure!

Its actually really easy to get

around the DC area! Most
people who come to visit, as well
as locals & commuters, use the
WMATA (Washington Metro
Transportation System) to get
around. Thanks to SmarTrip
cards, transferring between
buses and trains is also very
easy, and they can also be
used in the parking lots at most
Metro stations. When you go to
the machines located inside the
stations to add money to your
cards, the exact amount you
will need for your fare is listed
at the top of each machine. You
can also add money to your
cards in the station and online
([Link]
smartrip/[Link]). If you are
going to make multiple stops
in a day, I highly recommend
getting a 1-day pass, as it is a
lot cheaper and easier in the
long run. You can buy cards
in the station or online (https://
[Link]/storefront).
Special Inauguration SmarTrip
cards are also sold online.

Inclement
Weather

WMATA National Mall

Metro Stations

Should bad weather (a thunderstorm, rain, high

winds, extreme cold, snow storm) impact your day,
there are plenty of places to seek shelter on the
National Mall and around it. Union Station (www.
[Link]) has restaurants in the lower
level, near the subway entrance, and other shops
and restaurants in the Amtrak (upper) level. Also,
the museums on the Mall are free and you are
more than welcome to seek shelter inside these,
especially during a thunderstorm or high winds.
Around the White House area, there are a lot of
cafes and shops that you can go into, including
Starbucks, Au Bon Pain, and Potbelly! Also, if for
some reason you need to buy a poncho, sweatshirt,
gloves, or hat (and/or want a souvenir from DC),
there are many mobile kiosks around the National
Mall that sell these items (and to-go food).
The normal range for this time of year is 40F
for a high, 23F for a low, and you will likely see
it somewhere in the middle for much of the day.
Normal weather for 12 pm EST is a temperature
of 37F, partly cloudy skies, 10 mph wind and
a wind chill of 31F. Please make sure that you
wear warm clothes and check the weather before
you go--weather in D.C. can change rapidly, and
cold fronts can plunge the temperature into the
single digits from 40F in under two hours, so plan
ahead. The week of January 20, 2016 saw frigid
temperatures and heavy snowfall. Check WJLA
([Link] or WTOP ([Link]
weather) for Weather on the 8s updates. A current
weather forecast will also be posted to the FSU Blog
website, along with any weather-related warnings.

Attractions
In the DMV Region

These are just a few of the memorials you should see.

Lincoln Memorial
This is one of the most visited memorials in D.C. and
when you walk in and look up at the massive statue
of Lincoln, then gaze out at the Reflecting Pool, youll

a book, especially on a warm summer afternoon. The
Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument
built to honor the 16th President of the United States,
Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of
the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the
Washington Monument.

Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate

Downtown Silver Spring

Heres a secret: this is one of the FAVORITE places to
go for shopping and to hang out in the DMV, especially
among college students. My old college, Montgomery
College, is just up the road a few miles from there, and
we used to walk down to Downtown Silver Spring every
day to hang out, grab a bite to eat, and shop. Downtown
Silver Spring is literally just a short walk up the hill
(two blocks) from the WMATA Metro Station. Theres a
Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts next to the Metro stop, as
well as another Starbucks in downtown Silver Spring.
Theres also Fudruckers, Panera, Cold Stone Creamery,
Chickfilae, Chipotle, Ben & Jerrys, McGintys, Potbellys,
and numerous non-chain restaurants to choose from!
Georgetown
Georgetown is a beautiful
canal walk, and exciting
experience. From bakeries
clothing and jewelry stores,
Room, theres something

location with a scenic

places to shop and

Sprinkles Cupcakes
Sprinkles Cupcakes are handcrafted from the finest
ingredients, including sweet cream butter, bittersweet
Belgian chocolate, pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla,
fresh bananas and carrots, real strawberries and natural
citrus zests. Topped with Sprinkles trademark modern
dots, rich chocolate sprinkles from France or seasonal
sugar decorations. It is located in Georgetown, VA.
Pentagon City Mall
Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, located just moments
from the nations capital, and on the Washington
DC Metro system, offers a world-class shopping
experience where avenues of fashions and boulevards
of style await. A scenic glass elevator ride to the third
level reveals more than 170 fascinating stores and
restaurants including Macys, Nordstrom, The RitzCarlton, Apple, Coach, Michael Kors and Tourneau.
The skylit food court features international specialties
from the familiar to the exotic.

There is no Metro stop in the city itself, but there are three
within a short walk from there, and getting from the Metro
into Georgetown is not difficult ([Link]/visit/
getting-here_. There is also a bus called The D.C. Circulator,
which goes from the White House area and Union Station to
Georgetown
([Link]/explore/where-we-go/
georgetown/).

Bethesda
The Bethesda Arts & Entertainment district is home
to fantastic shopping and more than 200 restaurants.
Bethesda also hosts literary and arts festivals as well
as a summer concert series. You can read Bethesda via
the Bethesda Metro Stop on the WMATA line.

Tysons Corner Center

Located on Metros Silver Line, Tysons Corner Center
is home to over 300 specialty and department stores,
celebrated restaurants, eateries and entertainment.
Tysons Corner Mall is by far one of my favorite places to
go to and shop at. They even have small fire pits outside
to sit and warm yourself by, as well as an ice skating rink
and a sushi bar.

Compass Coffee
Two Marine buddies who bonded over coffee decided
to pour that Semper Fi dedication into serious beans.
The pair, who encourage customers to hang out as long
as they want while sipping java and enjoying the free
wi-fi, opened a second location in The Shay last fall and
has a large roastery/cafe in the works for Ivy City. The
Nutella latte is a must, and you can now find kolaches
there on weekends. Located in central D.C.
