Washington D.C. Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Washington D.C. – Take in the many splendors of the nation’s capital. Explore the city with us and start planning a journey of your own!

Your #Washington, D.C. #vacation should start at the National Mall, where you’ll find monuments, memorials, and government buildings instead of tons of shopping.

#Visit the Watergate Hotel and Kennedy Center when you stop at Foggy Bottom, then move on to Georgetown, the oldest district in D.C. It’s filled with 18th-century buildings and, of course, the university itself.

If you’re feeling the need to channel your inner 007, go to the International Spy Museum, and learn about the covert operations and intelligence agencies that have shaped the world we live in. Of course, you can’t enjoy any Washington, D.C. #tour without admiring the White House, so make sure that’s on your list too.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Small city in area and population but the power is palpable. She is truly a beautiful city and have lived in many large American cities ans have been to every State. I love D.C., she evokes such pride in me.

I have lived in the Washington DC metro area for my whole life . I read a few of the your guys comments and here a respond to a few of your guys question

Public transportation is the way to go .

Stay in Maryland or Virginia and take the metro down to DC,

Take your own bags to the stores there is bag tax in DC

For Night Life go to DuPont Circle or Adams Morgen

I first visited the nation’s capital in July of 2019, and I can just say that Washington, DC is one of the greatest places I’ve ever been to. From the Smithsonian museums to the monuments, everything this city has to offer is a reminder to our nation’s history and government. Also included in that vacation was a stop at Hersheypark and the Atlantic coastline.

I love Washington!! A place full of history. You can feel the power oozing through the streets.

The capital of the the US has to be impressive and it is. This city is impressively laid out (similar to Canberra, Australia) and also endowed with a lot of monuments. I always love well planned - purposed-built cities with abundance of greenery throughout.

[NewsInAusNZ]

I went to Washington DC 41 times since 2009 and when I saw it I stood in excitement

[AJAYPANDEY-fumc]
