A HISTORICAL & CULTURAL DELIGHT

This relatively small city is home to a huge array of galleries, monuments, and museums, as well as vibrant neighbourhoods and fashionable restaurants. Head straight to the National Mall, a delightful parkland encompassing a collection of iconic buildings. Stand on the spot where Martin Luther King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech and take in views of the imposing Washington Monument, the tallest obelisk in the world. Visit the Capitol Building, the grand Washington National Cathedral, one of the largest in America or the poignant National World War II Memorial, before enjoying fantastic views of the White House, just a short walk away.

However, this city presents many more opportunities than its significant landmarks, families are well catered for with over 100 free attractions to visit such as the National Portrait Gallery, 17 Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo. Enjoy incredible views across Washington’s monuments from the rooftop of the Kennedy Centre in the west end, best enjoyed at sunset with a cocktail in hand from the W Hotels terrace bar, POV. North Central is the hippest of Washington D.C.’s neighbourhoods and has a great variety of shops, restaurants and clubs. And to catch a glimpse the politicians, diplomats, and media stars head to the historic Georgetown’s M Street where you might catch them hanging out in the stylish restaurants along the waterfront. 

Chinatown is also well worth a visit, this energetic hotspot is where you’ll find numerous cultural attractions and some great food choices too whilst Dupont Circle, with its famous fountain and traffic circle, is filled with inviting bistros, buzzing bars, independent boutiques, and museums.
