Well Travelled Tips
Take a ride on DC‘s clean and safe Metrorail system, the best and fastest way to travel all over the city. Experience the serenity of the monuments at sunrise: the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.

For inspiring aerial views of the city visit the Old Post Office Pavilion. Visit Eastern Market on weekend mornings and follow Georgetown's cobblestone streets to Old Stone House, the last pre-Revolutionary building standing in Washington, DC on its original foundation.

Washington.org's event calendar offers the latest information on the DC's most popular festivals, including the National Cherry Blossom Festival and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

If you want a spring break, a summer vacation, a fall escape or even a winter getaway, Washington DC can provide a fantastic experience at every time of the year. As you will know Washington DC is the capital of the United States of America and one of the most popular cities in America to visit.

If your looking for a beautiful view to enjoy your food then start your trip with breakfast at the historic Hay Adams Hotel which is the site of Michelle Obama's Vogue cover shoot.

Where to eat
For cheap and tasty Ethiopian fare, Adams Morgan is the area to head to; a favourite here is Meskerem (2434 18th Street). You should also try the massive hot dogs and piled-high burgers at Ben's Chili Bowl (1213 U Street). For an absolute splash out, try the superbly crafted dishes at Komi (1509 17th Street), such as scallop with truffle emulsion, and spaghetti with sea urchin.

Culture
Art buffs have much to entertain them; the Smithsonian American Art Museum (8th and F) in particular has an unbeatable collection of American art. Music and theatre are easy to come by; for an evening of music in the USA’s oldest jazz supper club, head to Blues Alley (1073 Wisconsin Avenue).
