You’ll save a small fortune compared to sleeping in one of the city’s elegant hotels, and you might find it hard to spend much at all. You can dine on fried chicken and pho from DC's many food trucks, wander around free-to-visit Smithsonian museums, and stroll between the (also free-to-visit) presidential monuments on the National Mall. If all the money you’ve saved is weighing you down, you could splash out on one of the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants.
