The four day visit guide

City Packs are simply the best. Fodor makes these little CityPack guides for dozens of cities and I've used several with great satisfaction. Each guide only includes the top 25 sites. They don't give a lot of detail but they give you the essentials. They are designed not for in depth research but as a true pocket guide that you can take with you. Their choice of locations is always right on the money. If you're going to be in DC for less than a week, you can't go wrong by sticking with the sites in the guide. It's very well organized with a map included. It has its own plastic cover. Make use of that by picking up a metro map the first time you take the metro and insert in so you can see the map on the back cover. I've used these in Paris, Rome, London, DC and Tokyo. They work. Especially if you use "The Insiders Guide" or DK's "Eyewitness Guide" for planning and then take the CityPack in your back pocket. You can't go wrong.

Great idea for a guide to D.C.

Convenient size--it will fit easily in your purse or back pocket, and a pull-out full-size city map of D.C. make this "Citypack" a good guide to the nation's capital. A lot of information is presented on landmarks, parks, and other points of interest. A "Where to..." section gives recommendations on food, shopping and entertainment. I highly recommend the Washington D.C. Citypack by Fodor's.

There are shopping / eating / entertainment recommendations too.The information is concise and makes planning your holiday as easy as 1, 2, 3!!!Also, fits nicely into your handbag or jacket pocket and doesn't weigh you down!!

Citypacks are a must!

We toured D.C. with this citypack are can't imagine how others do not! The top 25 list helps organize what's best to see and do with a little historical background and info. for each destination/activity. There are sample walks and itineraries, as well as a detailed up-to-date city map.Oh my goodness, for [the price], you cannot beat these lightweight and extremely handy guides.

Great pocket guide for a impressively bewildering city

Tackling a new American city is always a challenge but this little guide gave me a handful of essential "must-sees" with transportation and location all mapped out. It also helped identify the "must-not-sees" - very helpful when time is limited.
