Washington DC for budget travelers 🏛️

Visiting the capital can be very exciting; however, is not necessarily the cheapest. So if you are planning on visiting and are on a budget, here are some places you should consider on visiting:

- Baked & Wired: easily my favor Café to visit every single time I’m in Washington DC. There are a handful of locations around the city, but their coffee is amazing and they have really good granola that I always get to go.

- WWII Musuem: one of the newer monuments in the National Mall that honors all the Veterans who served during the war. There are 4,048 gold stars on the Freedom Walls that represents the hundred American soldiers who died in the war.

Washington DC is a vibrant city filled with rich history and culture, offering many affordable activities for budget travelers.

By planning wisely, travelers can fully enjoy the essence of Washington DC while staying within their budget.
