budgettravel redefined
I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in Washington, D.C., but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings.
Cozy, restful accommodations: Instead of spending $300 a night in a chain hotel, bed down in a Victorian-era innfor $69 at the Kalorama Guest House (p. 30) or rent a room in the home of a local for as little as $70 a night with breakfast (p. 27).
Food finds: I'll take you to the best of the city's exotic ethnic restaurants, plus D.C.'s most historic and most affordable eateries.
Sights and attractions: Find opinionated advice on how to make the most of your time, in-depth coverage of Washington's iconic sights, plus hidden gems that most visitors miss.
Insider's D.C.: Get a behind-the-scenes look at one of the world's most influential news organizations (p. 161), attend a social event at a foreign embassy (p. 166), or overhear juicy political gossip at the city's best happy hours (p. 165).
Happy Travels,
Pauline Frommer
