Washington DC is a great place to visit. Attractions like the the Smithsonian galleries and museums to the National Zoo and Veterans Memorial are free. When visiting these attractions, most can be greatly enhanced by one of many Washington DC audio walking tours. Information can also be found on less traveled areas. Many of these recordings which hold a great deal of beauty and history can also be found online and download free of charge.
Audio recordings can be related to historic homes, museums, neighborhoods, the National Zoo or many other attractions. Each tour generally has a narration that last from about a half-hour to those that are well over an hour. Most tend to be directed at a specific area or location, many which are also guided by local volunteers or paid staff members.
Some travel companies offer past, present and future recordings free of charge. This now allows those who may be homebound for various reasons the opportunity to take a trip without ever leaving home, especially those whom lack the funds to do so. While, others use the podcasts to determine which areas might be good for future vacations.
Many areas have both day and night tours, this is especially true in cities which host ones related to ghosts as most happen at night. Whereas, most historic walking and museum audio tours are only offered during the daytime. When traveling alone, it is often good to get an idea of the safety of an area by checking local crime statistics and participating in group tours or walking with a guide.
Another group offers free audio podcasts of less traveled areas. The best often feature alleys, backstreets and other lesser known areas. Most of which are free and readily available for download before leaving home.
There are also audio recordings of worldwide travels which can be obtained as well. These are generally in the language native to the area of travel. It can often be a challenge but well worth learning other languages so as to enjoy the beauty and diversity of other cultures, especially if planning on taking an audio walking tour.
Many travel websites which offer these walking tour podcasts also offer a newsletter related to different cities which individuals can sign up to receive on a regular basis. These newsletters often feature news, weather and current events in the area. Most also include histories and stories of people and places in the region along with narration of different tours.
Whether visiting the Nation's Capitol, or other area, listening to a recording from afar, or frequently traveling to different areas, these tours can be quite useful. Individuals can also learn a lot about the people that developed different cities as well as about the various attractions and other historic sites. One of the best is a narrated tour through the Museum of the American Indian, a Smithsonian institute in Washington DC which focuses on the early days and the trials and triumphs associated with same.
