There is no parking, unless you find a spot on the street. Most people walk from a public parking lot or take public transportation.

To clarify, this is PAID public parking.

Lol yes. I shouldn't have assumed that visitors would know parking is paid.

Your submission appears to be asking about parking.

Your first resources are available here and here.

Unless you are in a residential area of the city, there is no such thing as reliably free and easy long-term parking. Please read parking signs carefully, even locals get confused sometimes.

Useful apps for parking include ParkMobile for street parking and SpotHero for garage spaces.

Visiting a friend in the city? Ask them for a free visitor parking pass from any MPD station.

Did you receive a ticket? Are you guilty? If so, pay it. Pictures and incorrect information doesn't matter.

All street parking, and they fill up fast. You're better off going to a metro station with parking garage, and metro-ing in. Alternatively, look for the adjacent neighborhoods and pay for parking there, then walk to the museum or museums of your choice. You're looking at about a mile walk or so, but contrarily you save yourself having to run in circles looking for the perfect parking spot.

Is there a metro station that you’d recommend ?

There is a Smithsonian metro stop. It's on the Blue/Orange/Silver lines.

I meant a metro station to leave the car at?

Minnesota Ave is the closest DC stop on the metro route.

Or, you could do Rhode Island Ave, which is on the red line. Switch over to B/O/S at Metro Center.
