Where to stay & how to get around in Washington, D.C.
Staying at the Courtyard Arlington Rosslyn was a good decision. The metro is in walking distance (they even have a shuttle that would take us anywhere within a mile in Arlington, but we didn’t bother.

Around Potsdamer Platz – a short trip to Berlin
