Washington, D.C. may be the center of power and wealth in this country, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend all of your money to have a good time.

Every weekend morning, Eastern Market on Capitol Hill is open to the public with locals selling beautiful handmade art, fresh produce, flowers and crafts. Walk through the market and listen to free live music while browsing the 100 merchants or more who frequent the market.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts is one of the only of its kind. See artwork from some of the best females in the business for free the first Sunday of every month.

If your feet get tired after checking out the National Mall, the free zoo, memorials, monuments and museums, hop on the DC Circulator Bus which travels from Union Station and the National Gallery of Art to the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials for $1. Every trip for the first two hours after your purchase is free, so it is easy to spend a lot of time and little money checking out the must-see historical spots of Washington, D.C.
For $9 a person, go ice skating at the rink in Canal Park, or two-for-one on Tuesdays. With a full day of sightseeing, skating and exploring for almost free, food and shopping can be found on every corner, so go nuts!
