Landover, Maryland, lies just east of Washington, D.C., in Prince George's County. It works well as a practical base for visitors who want to explore the capital region without staying in the city centre.
What draws visitors
The town is best known as the home of Northwest Stadium, where the Washington Commanders play their NFL games. For football fans, a match day here is the main reason to make the trip, and the stadium area fills with supporters in the hours before kick-off.
Getting around
- Convenient Metro access links the area with downtown Washington, so you can reach the capital's museums and monuments without driving.
- Its position just outside the District makes it easy to combine a stadium visit with a day of sightseeing in the city.
- Nearby Prince George's County attractions give you more to see if you stay on for a few days.
Landover suits a visit centred on a game or an easy stay near the capital. Those looking for a town with a long historic centre or a dense range of sights may prefer to spend most of their time in Washington itself, using Landover as a convenient place to sleep and to see a match.
