Washington DC by the Metro is an ultra-simple travel guide to sightseeing in the District of Columbia by public transit. It is part of Michael Brein's 'green' travel guide series--the world's first and only travel guide series designed specifically around sightseeing by public transportation. There are 14 travel guides in this series all available on XinXii.

Washington DC by the Metro shows you exactly how to go to more than 50 points of interest easily and inexpensively by using Washington, DC’s excellent subway system, also known as “The Metro”. The official Washington, DC Metro map is shown in the guide along with an enlarged map of the National Parks and Monuments in the DC area.

A series of mini-area-maps shows you which Metro lines to take, which Metro stops to get off at, and exactly how to walk from these stops quickly, directly, and easily to the visitor attractions. Other lesser points of interest are also indicated in case you would like to walk to additional nearby attractions. In some cases, more than one major attraction share the same mini-area-map.

You can easily upload Washington DC by the Metro onto your iPad or other similar eReader devices for convenient reference on the go. You can, of course, print out sections of the guide at your convenience.

This travel guide relies mostly on maps, graphics and limited text in order to be as visually oriented and as ultra-simple as possible. Whereas city transit systems can be very complicated, overbearing, overwhelming, and intimidating, the goal of Michael Brein's travel guides to sightseeing by public transportation is to simplify in a concise, compact, and comprehensive way the public transit experience in the big city and to get you to the city's top 50 visitor attractions as easily, conveniently, and cheaply as possible.
