You can walk to some nearby attractions, but sidewalks and street activity can vary by block, so check your route in advance and keep expectations focused on convenience rather than leisurely strolling.
You usually do not need a car if you are relying on metro, train, or rideshares for getting around. A car can be less convenient because parking and traffic conditions vary, especially during busy event periods and weekday peaks. Review your property’s parking details before booking if you plan to drive.
