10 Perfect Places In Washington DC For People Who Hate Crowds
If there’s one thing you should know about DC, it’s that it gets crowded here. There are almost 20 million tourists who visit DC ever year and when you factor in the locals and the fact that this city is only 68 square miles, you get a crowded area! Luckily there are some perfect places to go if you don’t like crowds. Here are the 10 best non-crowded places in Washington DC.
You won’t even know anyone else is around for miles when you wonder through the sprawling National Arboretum and it’s open year round!
This quiet community park is the perfect place to enjoy some peace and quiet. Sit on a bench or explore one of the trails.
Very few people realize this memorial even exists on the mall. It’s dedicated to the men and women from District of Columbia who gave their lives in the World War.
This community focused museum is relatively undiscovered compared to its Smithsonian counterparts. It offers a compelling look at cultural traditions and history of the community.
Pershing Park is one of DC’s most secret places. You can’t really see this park from the street but once you enter it, it’s a pleasant unique space with quiet terraces and beautiful flowers.
Located across the street from the White House, it’s surprising that this isn’t a more popular spot. However the Renwick is a quiet modern art museum that’s the perfect place to escape the crazy crowds around the mall and other Smithsonian museums.
Another of the quieter museums in DC, the National Building Museum features a gorgeous interior and some of the coolest exhibits in town, including the Lego exhibit.
A private museum, the Kreeger Museum celebrates art, architecture and music. Located off Foxhole Road, surrounded by woods and on five acres of sculpture-filled gardens, it is the best place to escape the crowds and see beautiful artwork.
This museum is a fascinating museum dedicated to documenting the African American life, history and culture.
