Washington, D.C., is set to look and feel a bit different in 2025. Many popular tourist sites are undergoing renovations in preparation for the USA’s 250th birthday next year, but that’s not the only change visitors should be aware of.
In this episode, Rob breaks down what to expect for the upcoming tourist season. He covers which sites are currently under renovation, when they’re expected to reopen, and how these updates might affect your plans. He also explains the impact of the DC Circulator bus closure and explores alternative ways to navigate the city. Plus, we tackle the elephant in the room: Is the new presidential administration and Congress influencing tourism in the capital?
If you’re planning a trip to D.C. this year or even just considering one, be sure to tune in to stay informed and make the most of your visit!
