When traveling to places where accessibility can be questionable, purchase and carry a light weight, foldable “suitcase ramp”. Great for those places that have a couple of annoying steps. The ramp fits nicely in a large skateboard backpack, or hiking backpack, and can be carried by a companion traveler. The ramp is also easy to check at the airport.
Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, is located along the Potomac River and is nestled between Virginia and Maryland. As you would expect, the city is full of magnificent buildings and monuments, which are all largely centrally located and accessible for the physically challenged traveler.
