From its celebrated
symbols of patriotism to its undiscovered neighborhoods, the sights and
sounds of the nation's capital inspire millions of visitors every year. Packed
with famous sights, free attractions, and an endless calendar of special events,
Washington, DC offers year-round inspiring experiences.
Beyond Washington DC's most familiar vistas, the capital city unwinds into a
lively urban center. Casual cafes and upscale bistros line the trendy
streets of Georgetown, while the downtown district sizzles with a host of new
restaurants. Spontaneous Jazz notes tumble out the windows of U Street's
nightclubs, while world-class performers take the stage at the highly acclaimed
Kennedy Center.
