Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer's lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.

Every American, at some point in their life, will want to visit the nation's capital, and it is most important that parents take their children there. For adults of all ages, for young people, and for families, this EasyGuide states preferences in activities and in the choice of lodgings and meals; our author isn't shy about revealing what she likes most (and what she dislikes). She is Elise Hartman Ford, a long-experienced journalist and Washington, D.C. resident, who--in addition to writing books about the capital--is also the author of a popular app for Washington, D.C.
