Some love from Rwanda.I think DC deserves the position, coz that's where the capital is .Guys dont discourage the narrator, she's done a good job.Atleast uplift someone in this 2020

Damn this video didn't scratch the surface of DC or tell you anything cool about our city outside from what any other travel website could tell you.

My brother lives in Arlington, so I’ve been to DC a few times and I definitely agree that it’s a beautiful city. Most people talk about the National Mall, but Georgetown, Chinatown, and Penn Quarter are really nice to walk around too. The food is great (I recommend Filomena, America Eats Tavern, and Ambar Capitol Hill). For activities, Dumbarton Oaks and the U.S Botanic Garden are worth going to. Next time I go, ARTECHOUSE is on my radar :) other than the monuments and government buildings, the city reminded me of Vancouver, which is why I was so eager to explore. I recommend going during Spring and Autumn. Summer is super humid

Is this coincidence: Yesterday I did watch the Netflix serie ‘The Messiah’. His plan was to go to DC in 2020 and did went there. Strange..

WHY DID U HAVE SOMEONE WITH a speech impediment commentate THE VIDEO LMAO

[snakeboy]

I honestly didn’t notice the lisp until I read the comments and went back, why do people feel the need to point out things other people are probably already insecure about? We should be better in 2020.

Of course, because it's the safest place during the US vs Iran War

[niclebron]

ok boys get ready for tourists not moving on the left side of the escalator on the metro

[MorganAlexis]

Just learned about things to do in my own city lol 💯

[dchiddengems]

I actually didn't know about the Kenniworth Gardens. Great tip and terrific video overall.

[chichan]

I do agree, If you want to visit USA, Washington DC is a must and should be on your list.

[sokyeefxc]

[TheBlanketwer]

[EVILGOKU]

[ZKZ]

[Foo]

Raise your hand if you grew up here and visited Air & Space EVERY YEAR with your school...🙋🏻‍♀️

[jassbep]

It’s a great city! And clean and so much history and art! And the crab cakes 😍 I stayed a week last year and it’s not enough time!

[ArinGokdemir]

Tourists: mini New York?
DC people: go away lmao

[sazzorakskills]

Dc is pretty cool, I’ve lived close to it for most of my life. Most of our field trips were to Jamestown and various museums. My #1 tip would be to make sure to hit the other Air and Space museum outside of dc, because the one in the city is tiny. The big one has tons of planes and even a place where you can watch people restore them. Really cool place, honestly.
