Washington DC Metro map and route planner
The easy-to-read map and useful journey planning tools are the best way to guide yourself around the city. Let Mapway plan your journey to the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian or to that coffee place near Union Station you visit before work.
Clear Metro Map
We’ve given our Mapway app the clearest and most user-friendly map on the market. By making a few tweaks to the official metro map our users tell us it’s much easier to read when getting from A to B.
Route Planner
In the route planner you’ll find both metro stations and points of interest, making it even easier to get exactly where you to need to go. Locations like Pentagon City, Ford’s Theatre and the National Portrait Gallery are all a click away and Washington DC Metro will find you the quickest and simplest routes.
– Did You Know? –
It’s illegal to eat in the DC metro facilities. Eating, drinking or littering could land you in trouble and result in a large fine!
Step-By-Step Guides
It helps to have an itinerary but sometimes it can be difficult to picture where you will be in relation to the map. That’s why our handy transport app gives you step-by-step guides on the metro map itself. Each journey is broken down so you know every direction and every changeover.
Train Times
No one likes getting to their stop and having to wait ages for the next metro train. Or even worse, arriving just as a train is pulling away. Each station in the Mapway app has detailed train times arranged by line and platform so that you know exactly when your train is due.

– Travel Tip –
When using an escalator stand on the right, leave the left side free for “moving traffic”.
– Travel Tip –
For a better chance at getting a seat, get on the front carriage where it tends to be quieter.
– Travel Tip –
It may sound obvious but when a train is packed, it sometimes pays off to just wait for the next one.
