As longtime residents of Washington, D.C. my husband and I are always being asked how tourist visiting Washington, D.C. for the first time can save money on expensive downtown dc hotels by staying in a city nearby Washington, D.C. Tourists who are looking for hotels outside of DC on the Metro with access to Smithsonian Museums and the National Mall will find that there are over 75 hotels to chose from in the cities closest to Washington, D.C. like Arlington, Bethesda, Crystal City, Alexandria, and Silver Spring.
