� All embassies are open from 10 am to 4 Pm, unless otherwise noted. � Admission is free. Reservations are not required.� Complimentary shuttle bus service travels three separate loops
from 10 am to 4 pm. All routes begin and end at Dupont Circle, between Massachusetts Ave. and P St., NW. See map for details.
