How to get around in Capital Region (Maryland)

How to travel to Capital Region (Maryland) by car

The Beltway and its main arteries (I-270 and I-95) are the best way to travel between the three counties of the Capital Region. I-270 is a very convenient highway for traveling between Montgomery and Frederick Counties, and there's really no better way to go between the two. Unfortunately and there is an odd lack of east west routes other than the Beltway, which lends to the extreme congestion between Prince George's and Montgomery Counties (and the extreme ire that engenders in the hapless, motionless drivers).

Many drivers unaccustomed to the Beltway find its banked curves with traffic going 65-75 miles per hour with little to no space between cars alarming and unpleasant to terrifying. A good tip for avoiding the Beltway in moving between PG and Montgomery Counties is to take the East-West Highway instead.

By Metro

The fabled Purple Line, which would mimic the Beltway in connecting the suburban areas to one another, is always under proposition and discussion, but may never come to light in the face of fierce opposition by homeowners that it would displace. So to connect by rail between PG and Montgomery Counties, you have to take the Red Line all the way into downtown D.C. to transfer to the Green Line. Just to go from Bethesda to Silver Spring (which are practically adjacent), you would have to ride for an hour through D.C. on the Red Line.

So take buses instead if you are using public transportation. The bus system is quite good and comprehensive. Use the county gov/dot-transit/routesandschedules/rideonroutes Ride On buses to go from point to point within Montgomery County, and the WMATA metro buses in traveling in between the two inner counties.

What to see in Capital Region (Maryland)

National LDS Temple Christmas display - Christmas lights at the National LDS Temple in Kensington

In general and the Maryland Capital Region is not the type of place you visit for sightseeing—you visit it to see family, or on business, since it is a huge commercial and residential center. But there are a few odd sights to find off the beaten path. The largest is the Emerald Palace-like National LDS Temple in Kensington (Maryland) | Kensington, which boasts a spectacular display of Christmas lights and nativity scenes during Advent every year. NASA's visitor center in Greenbelt is another great reason to venture forth from Washington, D.C. for a Maryland attraction. Perhaps the most important sight, though, is Great Falls in Potomac by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park|C&O Canal on the Potomac River. You'll be surprised by how big and impressive the falls are, and the Maryland side is great for viewing them—you get to walk out along a long bridge to an island in the middle of the river.

Bethesda has many top-notch restaurants, serving all the suburbanites who converge upon the small city nightly.

The Route 193 "International Corridor" near Takoma Park has a variety of immigrant-fueled cuisine -- everything from Indian to Peruvian.Alas, much of the rest of the region has fallen victim to endless strip malls full of middle-of-the-road chain restaurants.
