DC Metro Stations List

The Metro Center is located at 1078 G St NW, just outside Washington, DC 20001. It acts as a simple link between the Red, Orange, Blue and Silver lines, so it is one of the most crowded stations in all of the Metro.

The station entrance is large and has many escalators and elevators, all contained behind glass. You can use the link to the underground concourse, where you’ll find shops, restaurants and other places to enjoy.

The neighborhood surrounding Metro Center is full of people and things to do, any time of day. Downtown Washington DC’s Union Station is only a short step from the National Mall, the White House and other well-known attractions. Hotels, shopping centers and office buildings can be found in the area directly around Fox Plaza.

The region close to me has these unique qualities:

• Just north of the station lies the National Mall, where you’ll find the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool.
  
• Across the Potomac River in the east lies the White House, where the President of the United States lives.
• The Federal Triangle, a major government office center, lies to the south.
• On the western border, you’ll find Chinatown with its many Chinese shops and restaurants.

Overall, the Metro Center station entrance is a central and convenient spot for tourists to Washington DC. The surrounding area of the station is full of sightseeing and activities to do, so it’s a good place to stay or visit during your trip.
