It opens with an overview of DC that will have you vowing to visit -- there's so much to see and do! It then explores the area, summarizing the history and contemporary culture, describing neighborhoods and suggesting 1-, 2-, and 3-day itineraries. Subsequent chapters cover where to stay, eat, sightsee, shop, party, and go on side trips. More than other guides, Frommer’s maps let me readily get my bearings -- they include the exact locations I want, laid out to the appropriate level of detail (sometimes zoomed in, sometimes out, sometimes both) and expertly labeled. This guide includes a tear-out, folded map (waterproof and indestructible) with the tourist area on one side, the greater Virginia-Maryland metropolitan area on the other, and a schematic of Metrorail lines.
Highly recommended.
