Gallery Place-Chinatown is located on the Green Line (Green Line), one of Washington DC's operational metro corridors. It sits between Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter and Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center, making it a convenient stop for the surrounding area.

What makes Gallery Place-Chinatown particularly useful is its interchange connection with Red Line, Yellow Line. If you need to switch between lines, this is where you'll do it – and you won't need to exit or purchase a new ticket. The interchange corridor is clearly signposted with color-coded directions.
