Washington, D.C. Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Albany, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations operates this four-day, three-night rail getaway between Albany, New York, and Washington, D.C. Travelers ride the Northeast Regional in Coach class in both directions, with three nights of hotel accommodations in the capital between the outbound and return journeys. The package is independent rather than escorted: a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing pass lets you visit Washington's monuments and museums on your own schedule, and an evening Monuments by Moonlight tour shows the illuminated memorials after dark. It suits travelers who want a straightforward, self-paced introduction to Washington, D.C., without planning transportation or daytime sightseeing themselves.
