This budget-friendly trip can include visits to museums, monuments, historical sites, as well as opportunities for walking in beautiful parks, enjoying the theatre, and indulging in dining experiences. Travelling during this period not only offers great value for money but also allows you to explore the rich history and culture of the area without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals in Washington, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodations close to your travel date. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, maximising your chances of great savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you find the best hotel deal.
