🕘 Game Plan
Each team will start in the morning at their starting embassy to beat the crowds. Its important that you arrive around 9:30 AM, because lines will start to form. After your starting location, you’ll follow your team route and explore the other embassies listed above.
🚗 Transportation Note
Please Note: The embassies of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain embassies are farther away from the main cluster of embassies. We made them our starting embassies, because they usually have the longest lines, so if we start our day there, we can possibly avoid the lines, if we get there early enough.
🚕 We strongly recommend taking an Uber/Lyft to get from your starting embassy to the other embassies.
🚗 You can all share an Uber ride from the starting embassies and split the cost among each other.
📢For Example if you're starting off at the French embassy and you finish, then you will need to uber to downtown DC to visit all the other embassies on the list.
✅️These four embassies (France, Germany, Spain and Italy) are some of the most popular stops of the day. Starting early helps us avoid long lines and cover more ground.
Let’s explore Europe right here in DC 💗
