À vélo de Arlington à Washington

Get ready for a smooth ride from Arlington to the heart of Washington D.C.! This route covers a little over 16 kilometers (about 10 miles), mostly along paved cycleways—so you can expect an easy cruise with great city views. Arlington is famous for Arlington National Cemetery and its vibrant neighborhoods, and as you cross the Potomac River, you’ll roll right into the bustling streets and iconic landmarks of D.C.

The path is super bike-friendly, with over 80% along cycleways and lots of asphalt for an easy roll. You’ll get a fun mix of sights, from leafy parks to city skylines. There’s a bit of climbing at first (about 110 meters up), but then it’s mostly downhill into D.C.—which means you finish with the monuments and museums laid out before you. Don’t forget to stop along the Mall for a selfie with the Capitol or Washington Monument!
