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

Amtrak Vacations operates this four-day, three-night rail getaway between New York City and Washington, D.C. Travelers ride the Northeast Regional in Coach class round trip, with three nights of hotel accommodations in the capital. Along with a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour and an evening Monuments by Moonlight tour, Amtrak Vacations points travelers to President Lincoln's Cottage, the Hillwood Estate, the restaurants and bars of Logan Circle's 14th Street corridor, and the galleries and coffeehouses of Dupont Circle. The trip is independent rather than escorted, so you choose how much time to spend at the well-known monuments versus these smaller neighborhood stops. It suits travelers who want more than the standard monument checklist on a short capital visit.
