Lanham may just be the smart place to overnight when visiting the Capital area. Being only 20 minutes from the heart of Washington, the business traveler or vacationing family can avoid the hassle of driving and parking in The District.
Lanham is in Prince George's County, Maryland, and being an unincorporated town, it is more of an area rather than a distinct city. It is also a suburb of our nation's capital, Washington, DC, making it a featured business and vacation destination. (The United States Census Bureau has actually defined a census-designated place consisting of Lanham and the neighboring community of Seabrook, designated Lanham-Seabrook, for statistical purposes.)
There are many attractions and sites near Lanham, some of which are the University of Maryland, the US Air Arena and Fed Ex Stadium (home of Redskins Football), and Six Flags Amusement Park.
Lanham is convenient to both Baltimore's BWI and Washington's National airports, being only 19 miles from each. Historic Annapolis and the very popular Baltimore Inner Harbor are only a short jaunt away. The Washington subway system, or Metro, is just minutes away and provides fast and easy transportation to our National Capital. We hope you enjoy your stay in Lanham, Maryland. -- America's Beaches and Towns Network
