Be courteous in a political city.
Washingtonians walk with purpose. Stay to the right on escalators (walk left, stand right), don’t block Metro doors, and keep sidewalk traffic flowing.

Major events define the calendar.
From the National Cherry Blossom Festival in spring to July 4th fireworks on the National Mall, D.C. celebrates with style. Expect crowds at peak events.
Dress code: Smart casual meets political polish.
Locals tend to dress with a subtle professionalism. Think practical shoes, layers for changing weather, and clean, modern styles.
Tipping is standard.
Like most U.S. cities, tip 15–20% at restaurants, $1–2 per drink at bars, and for luggage assistance or housekeeping.
Street art and culture are everywhere.
From murals in Shaw to live go-go music in parks, D.C.’s cultural pulse beats beyond its museums. Take time to wander — you’ll find culture on every corner.
