What You Need to KNoW

� All embassies are open from 10 am to 4 Pm, unless otherwise noted. � Admission is free. Reservations are not required.� Complimentary shuttle bus service travels three separate loops

from 10 am to 4 pm. All routes begin and end at Dupont Circle, between Massachusetts Ave. and P St., NW. See map for details.

� Please note that the complimentary shuttle service ends at 4 pm and most embassies are open until 4 pm. Please plan accordingly and/or take alternative transportation back to your point of origin. See labeled Metrobus routes at the bottom of the map.
