Washington DC:
looking out the window and seeing the landscape below of monuments and memorials standing there so strong and immoveable, and unmistakable. D.C., as it is commonly referred to, is the Federal Capital of the United States of America. Home to some of the Country`s most recognizable buildings including the White House and the Washington Monument, more than 20 million visitors flock to the legislative and administrative headquarters of the land each year. D.C. is also home to the Smithsonian Institute and the National Gallery of Art. The central area is beautifully designed with broad avenues lined with magnificent buildings and monuments set in spacious green parks. The city houses a myriad of workers, diplomats, politicians and immigrants from many lands. It is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the US with numerous ethnic neighbourhoods and restaurants featuring a wide variety of exotic cuisines.  There is a lot to see in Washington DC - tour the US Capitol Building, the White House, the Supreme Court and many federal government agencies like the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. See the Washington Memorial, the Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt Memorials. You can see Arlington National Cemetery, the Vietnam memorial, the Korean War memorial and the Battle of Iwo Jima memorial. You can even spend several days touring the many parts of the Smithsonian Institute, one of the largest and finest collections of museums in the world. Washington DC offers many historical and educational attractions, a variety of cultural and entertainment activities, plenty of multi-ethnic dining experiences and an array of shopping opportunities. Outside of the city, there are many civil war battlefields within a short drive; and President Washington`s home at Mount Vernon is just south of DC. The port city of Baltimore and Anapolis, home of the US Naval Academy, are within an hour drive. From its celebrated symbols of patriotism to its undiscovered neighbourhoods, 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. Kayakers tackle the Potomac River as it winds past the elegant marble tributes to America`s great leaders. To some, Washington means white marble, verdant lawns, and the colourful, ritualistic pageantry of American politics: the Capitol dome gleaming against an azure sky; limousine processions on Inauguration Day and the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. It is also a city, a city where ordinary and extraordinary people live, work and play, a city of vibrant and beautiful neighbourhoods.
