Metro, walking and biking

Bethesda Metro and Friendship Heights metro are similar distances away, with Bethesda slightly closer at 2.3 miles to Friendship Height’s 2.7 miles, and you can take trains from there to most hubs in the DC area and surrounding environs. For more info on the Metro train system, read here. It’s a bit far for a casual walk (about 45 min), but about 14/17 min by bicycle from each station, respectively. If you choose to walk or bike we recommend coming from Bethesda where the paths are a bit safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.

We have a bike rack on our grounds you are welcome to utilize.
