George Washington University’s main Foggy Bottom campus is in the heart of the city, walkable from some of the most significant Washington, D.C. attractions. The downtown location makes it easily accessible, with plenty of parking options in and around the campus. The private university is the “largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia,” housing various graduate and undergraduate schools covering arts, sciences, law, business, and more.

The majority of the GWU residential halls are also located in Foggy Bottom. The Kennedy Center, IMF, World Bank, the White House, the State Department, and several embassies are only blocks away from this historic university campus. Considering its proximity to highly visited D.C. monuments, museums, and official buildings, GWU parking could be challenging if you decide to simply drive up to a parking lot on campus or around it.

Plenty of street parking spaces are available too – however, you need to be careful about restrictions such as permit requirements and time limits. Pre-book a GWU parking garage space to avoid all these hassles and get the lowest rates when booking on a parking app or website like Way.com. You’ll find the best deals at top-rates parking lots within walking distance of GWU schools, official buildings, and residence halls.
