how far is leesburg va from washington dc?

Answer 1

It is a distance of about 45 miles. Travel time depends greatly on the time of day. It can take from 45 minutes to 2 hours. It's best to leave Leesburg by no later then 6:15 AM and to leave DC after 6:30 PM. Also expect to pay over $7.00 a day for the privilege to sit in unbelievable traffic on the toll roads.

Ok, let me give you the scoop on your options. You are correct, staying in a hotel inside Washington DC is going to cost you a good bit of money. The next cheaper alternative is to stay in either Maryland or Virginia, close to the Metro (subway) line. You will save about 50% by doing this. The next step down would be to stay even further outside of the Washington area. Places like Leesburg, Virginia or Waldorf Maryland. Those areas are about 25 miles outside of Washington DC. But..and this is a big but, the traffic in the DC area can be hectic. If you decide to stay in a hotel way outside of town, then your simple drive of 25 miles will take you at least an hour (plenty of red lights and cogested traffic, so your average speed is only 25 mph). If it were me, I would personally opt for a hotel in someplace like Alexandria, VA or Rockville MD, that is close to the Metro stations. The time and aggravation that you save by not having to drive is worth it! The Metro is the best way to get around DC and is reasonably priced (I think you can get a one week fare card for a fixed rate that will allow you unlimited travel on the Metro). Even if a hotel is within walking distance of a Metro station, some offer shuttle van services to and from the Metro station. When you return to the Metro station after a long day of scouting around DC, you just call the hotel front desk on your cell phone or pay phone and they will send the van to pick you up. Good luck!

Answer 5

Richmond, VA is 2 hours south of D.C., so don't plan on staying there. Instead, select a hotel in either Rockville or Gaithersburg in Maryland. Both have hotels close to the Metro and you'll pay much, much less for rooms there than you will in the city. Go online to the Metro website and see the Red Line's route. It will take you right downtown and you can access all there is to see. The Metro ride is about 40 minutes from Gaithersburg to Union Station in D.C., about 30 minutes from Rockville. Leave your car at the hotel and take Metro into the city, or park at one of the Metro stations. It is much cheaper in the long run than paying for parking in a garage. Forget parking on the street. Meter readers are serious in this town and the tickets are expensive. Directions: I-95 north to I-495 West/North. Take I-270 North exit to either Rockville or Gaithersburg. Both towns are adjacent to the highway and very easy to navigate. You might want to look at a couple of 'extended stay' hotels for your trip. You'll save money by paying for only 1 suite and each one has a kitchen so you can save again by making some of your own meals. These facilities are typically very close to the Metro and many have buses right at the door going to the Metro station. You can see these by simply asking for "extended stay hotels" and selecting the company and town that interests you.

Using Mapquest, it would take about 52 minutes with a driving distance of about 40 miles. You'll be taking VA-267 most of the way which is shortest driving time. Here are the directions.

If you take VA-7 West, the distance would be less than 35 miles but it would take you about 1 hour driving.
