Renwick Gallery is small but the times I have been they have had really cool contemporary exhibits. You might be able to check their hours and the exhibits before heading there, as it could be different due to COVID.

City Center always creatively decorates the plaza and is a great place to take photos! Even though I'm a local, I am guilty of going here and taking photos with friends. Otherwise it is a shopping center (more on the fancy end); nonetheless, great for walking around and visiting some restaurants nearby.

The metro is the fastest way to get around
The metro requires a SmartTrip card that you can get from the machines at any metro station, and is the fastest way to get around if you do not have a vehicle. The DC buses accept cash, so if you don't have the SmartTrip card that's ok! The closest station to where you will be staying is the Rhode Island Ave. metro, as well as numerous bus stops.
