Closest Metro Station to go down town DC
Branch Ave. metro is the closest metro station to go downtown DC to the museums. You either drive or take Uber/Lyft. Taking the bus would be too long and counterproductive in my opinion. There is also a handout with directions inside the door of the suite and in the House rules manual.
