Washington, D.C. Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Atlanta
6-day round-trip Amtrak getaway from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.
Amtrak Vacations operates this six-day, five-night rail getaway between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Travelers ride the Crescent in Coach class in both directions, with three nights of hotel accommodations in the capital. The package is independent rather than escorted: a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing pass lets you visit Washington's monuments and museums along the Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue 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 arranging transportation or daytime sightseeing themselves.
