This weekend Cultural Tourism DC is hosting its semi-annual WalkingTown DC, a two-day event packed full of free walking tours of the District’s neighborhoods. More than 100 tours are scheduled in all corners of the city, making for a great opportunity to check out neighborhoods where your daily life might not otherwise take you. It’s also perfect for visiting some of the more off-the-beaten-path places that you may have read about on UrbanTurf but never ventured to. (Have you ever been to Brookland? Anacostia? Florida Market?)
The first tours start at 8:30am Saturday morning and the last ones finish at 7pm Sunday evening. The website has the schedule broken down by day, but there is also a convenient PDF brochure which lists all the tours in an easy-to-print format.
In addition to the 90+ walking tours, there are 11 bike tours this year (bring your own bike and helmet; Bike and Roll is offering discounts for those who need to rent a bike).
Here are a few tours that pique our interest:
Saturday Morning
- Explore Florida Market/Capital City Market — 9-10:30am
- Anacostia: The Ridge and the River (bike tour) — 8:30am-12:30pm
