Description:

What better place to experience American history than in Washington, D.C.? There are tons of monuments and memorials spread around the downtown core, all within walking distance of each other. Visit the extraordinary Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Marine Corps War Memorial, among others. In the summer time, many funky festivals and cool exhibitions roll into town. No matter what the weather, the DC museum scene is always happening; the National Archives, the American Art Museum, the Newseum, and the Natural History Museum are always featuring permanent and traveling exhibitions. For the foodie experience, DC has no shortage of stylish restaurants, celebrity chefs, and fresh local fare for you to encounter.
