About Washington D.C.
Beyond Washington DC's most familiar sights, the capital city unwinds into a lively urban center. Casual cafes and upscale bistros line the trendy streets of Georgetown, while the downtown district is filled with plenty of great restaurants. Visit one the many Jazz nightclubs, or watch world-class performers take the stage at the highly acclaimed Kennedy Center. For the more athletic, you can kayak the Potomac River past the elegant marble tributes to America's great leaders.
Beyond the awesome monuments and news-making public figures, Washington, DC is a city of colorful and diverse neighborhoods, filled with hip boutiques and galleries, historic homes and small museums, urban parks and spectacular gardens.
You will find most major attractions opened for public tours, visit the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, or the newly renovated Botanical Gardens. The White House is open only for pre-arranged tours. Contact your Congressman in writing. The Pentagon is also open for pre-arranged military and student groups.
