About Washington, DC

Founded in 1791 as the capital of the United States, Washington DC is at the center of both national and world politics. Landmarks such as the White House, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and Lincoln Memorial draw thousands of tourists each year and underscore the importance of Washington's political past and present. DC is also a dynamic city, famous for world-class dining, entertainment, and culture. Tourists should take time to stroll through the charming shops, restaurants, and cafés in historic Georgetown. Or, browse the artsy streets of Dupont Circle. The impressive Smithsonian museums are a must for everyone, and the Vietnam and Holocaust memorials serve as poignant reminders of the tragedy of war. If time allows, take a boat ride up the Potomac to George Washington's Mount Vernon. As for seasonal activities, Washington is always hopping with year-round festivals and events.
