Those solemn Washington politicians like to call their city "the capital of the free world." But Washington is mainly the capital of free everything (well, almost everything) you might want to see or do on a visit. As a longtime resident, I can guarantee you a week of sight-seeing from morning till night without spending a dime. Example: The remarkable museums of the Smithsonian Institution alone, a treasure trove of major artworks and historical artifacts and oddities, can occupy you for days - at no cost (they are among the rare major museums of the world to charge not a single cent). And at night, plenty of exciting entertainment is yours to enjoy, again for free. Read on, and I'll introduce you to the best of Washington on an empty wallet.
