Washington D.C. Area City Tour
When Pierre Charles L'Enfant gazed northward along the banks of the
Potomac River in 1791, he envisioned a "pedestal waiting for
a monument." Since that day, Washington, DC has evolved into
a fascinating, lively city combining grand, neoclassical government
buildings, monuments, memorials, museums and the National Mall with
colorful neighborhoods, art, theater, music and culture.
 Washington,
DC is a powerful symbol not only of our nation but also of democracy
and freedom. The District of Columbia's neighborhoods, people, history
and culture truly embody the American Experience—from Duke
Ellington to John Phillip Sousa and from the Civil War to civil
rights. Only in Washington, DC can people be inspired by touring
the magnificent Capitol Building and Washington Monument by day
and be moved by taking in magical performances by the National Symphony
Orchestra and world-class opera by night.
From its celebrated symbols of patriotism to its undiscovered neighborhoods,
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.
