Getting Here

Drive, walk, bike!

Since the metro doesn't open until 7, you'll want to walk, bike, drive, or take a ride share. If you're driving, come extra early—parking fills up fast. You can park anywhere around the National Mall or on its side streets. Give yourself plenty of time to walk to and from your car and find a good seat.
