If you are traveling from outside of the D.C. metro area, there are three major airports to consider: Washington National (DCA), Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), and Dulles (IAD). Washington National Airport is the closest (miles and drive time), but BWI and Dulles are good options also. There’s much to see and do in the Washington Metropolitan area.
