The Best Times to Visit Washington, D.C.

"A hugely popular Smithsonian museum that routinely draws long lines; plan to visit during shoulder or low seasons to avoid crowds and take advantage of typically calmer galleries that are ideal for indoor exploration on colder days." - Nicholas DeRenzo Nicholas DeRenzo Nicholas DeRenzo knows where to eat, stay, and play in almost any locale. A travel writer and editor, he has contributed articles to Condé Nast Traveler, BBC Travel, Travel + Leisure, New York magazine, The New York Times, and Sunset. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
