Smithsonian Metro Station

The station entrance by the Castle is closed in the evenings, so you'll need to walk a couple of blocks to the other entrance.

Just go ahead and put plenty of money on your SmarTrip card. Took many people don't know how to use the machines and it takes awhile to get to it.

Welcome to Washington, tourists! Enjoy your time here, and please, stand to the right, walk on the left, and if the escalator is broken (like it was today), just walk. :)

If you are visiting from out of town, please respect local custom and stand to the right on the escalators.

The escalators let out right on the mall, while the elevators let out 2 blocks south

Escalators: stand on the right, walk on the left. Keeps everyone happy

Wear deodorant, I visited the area and had the unpleasant experience of sitting next to someone that chose to bathe in their own sweat before boarding the train.

During normal operations, the doors open on the RIGHT at this station.

If you choose to stand on an escalator, it is courteous to stand on the right so others may walk on the left.

just get the all day any line pass. makes life WAY easier. for vacation that is... locals, just use your card of course =]

Walk on the left, stand on the right!! Please!!

Smelled like garbage and port-a-potties. Lovely.

Stand on the right walk on the left

This line has more white people than an LL Bean store

Play it safe on the Metro at all times.

Don't try to force doors open.

Not the place to refill your farecards or smartrips on the weekend. The lines are long and consist of clueless tourists.

I taught the kids to stand on right, walk on left!

Ya cant eat here

Sandra sucks... Jk!
