Take in the many splendors of the nation’s capital when you arrive at Washington, D.C.
Your Washington, D.C. tour should start at the National Mall, where you’ll find monuments, memorials, and government buildings instead of tons of shopping. If you’d like to get around town easily but don’t want to rent a car, the Capital Bikeshare program will let you cruise around the city without wasting gas or getting stuck in traffic.
Check out the Watergate Hotel and Kennedy Center when you stop at Foggy Bottom, then move on to Georgetown, the oldest district in D.C. It’s filled with 18th-century buildings and, of course, the university itself. After a stop at the National Cathedral, make your way to the Smithsonian National Zoo, the perfect stop for the young and the young at heart.
If you’re feeling the need to channel your inner 007, go to the International Spy Museum, and learn about the covert operations and intelligence agencies that have shaped the world we live in. Of course, you can’t enjoy any Washington, D.C., tourism without admiring the White House, so make sure that’s on your list too.

“Washington has a lot more to offer than the political buildings and state monuments…” says the guy in the 6 minutes video talking exclusively about political buildings and monuments.
Honestly if you don’t wanna get shot up, stay in the Smithsonian museums. Not only are they some of the best in the world, some of them are really cool as well
He’s saying there’s a lot more than what was presented in this video so spend time exploring.

D.C. is better than New York
Can you help me?
Of course. NYC is the scum of the U.S.
No
It’s crazy how no building is older than 500 years in the US
You cannot compare the US history with the European, Asian or African millenary history. The US is a young country compering to Italy, France, Spain, Great Britain, China, or Japan, but anyway is a country full of surprises for sure.
Visit St. Augustine and you’ll easily be proven wrong
Not true the pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona built some pretty impressive structures from about 800 years ago.
too young, too powerful… there were a lot of scandals. read history, the masons built america /monuments
i was at one, fort barrances. 1550;s era. florida fort by spanish explorers
I have lived in the Washington DC metro area for my whole life . I read a few of the your guys comments and here a respond to a few of your guys question
Public transportation is the way to go .
Stay in Maryland or Virginia and take the metro down to DC,
Take your own bags to the stores there is bag tax in DC
For Night Life go to DuPont Circle or Adams Morgen
Elvin Morales I like u street better
I’ll be moving to Alexandria, does the subway take you to d.c?
I love America..and American people
Trump’s new hometown.
YAY :D:D:D:D:D #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
His hometown will forever be NYC. DC is just his residence.
I LOVE AMERICA <3
amerikanın devletinden nefret etsem de şehirlerini izlediğimde, google earthde gezdiğimde, ve rastgele bir eyaletten rastgele bir yere sokak görünümü yaptığımda sanki evim orasıymış gibi hissediyorum. sweet home alabama diyip samanlar arasında yatmak, iş arkadaşımla empire state buildingden manhattanı izlemek, las vegasda bir dayıyla jack daniels içmek, kızımla central parkda yuvarlanmak isterdim. keşke georgiada doğsaydım da liseye bisikletle gitseydim, ormanda arkadaşlarla ağaç ev yapsaydık, para biriktirip gizlice orada bira içseydik, babamın garajında arkadaşlarımla highschool band kursaydık metal çalsaydık… daha yazacak çok şey var ama, beynim dondu yine düşünemiyorum. şimdi ben amerikayı seviyorum diye vatan haini ilan edilirim ama ben kapitalizmi ya da trumpı seviyorum demiyorum ki, Atatürkü ve tarihimizi seviyorum. Ama amerikanın şehirlerini, mahallelerini, sokaklarını, yaşam tarzını ve dilini seviyorum. I don’t belong here, pal.
bunlar hep amariganın oyunları gardaşım kanma sakın orda meyveler pahalı (ironi yapıyorum)
Zachattk23 are you good? america’s education is the best or at least one of the best in the world. get your facts right

Been here a couple times, most memorable moment was going through DC at night with all the landmarks lit up, coolest thing.
My goal is to visit all 50 states of the United States.
Dc isn’t a state
Me too, that’s is my dream…
mine too, I love the USA. Good luck with your goal xD
Thank you! And yes so do I, even though our president is kind of crazy, but it’s okay because we can vote him out if he doesn’t do a good job by 2020. And yes good luck with your goal 🙂
My goal in two years : attend college in Washington DC ????

Nazi. Person , saw what
I saw that too
I’m a New Yorker, but I’ve been to DC many times:
The World War II Memorial is awesome
The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is probably the most popular Smithsonian museum (and it does get crowded on weekends and holidays)
I haven’t been to the Botanic Garden, but I’ve heard great things about it. During the Christmas holiday, they have a model train show
I haven’t been to the Newseum. Note that it is NOT a Smithsonian Museum and it cost money to get in (ditto for the International Spy Museum)
Skip Georgetown. There’s nothing that stands out about it and it’s a 20 minute walk from the nearest Metro station (Foggy Bottom/GWU)
The Zoo is cool. I’ve been there once. The famous panda spends most of the day sleeping and generally comes out only in the morning. If you’re taking the Metro to the Zoo, take it to Cleveland Park and walk downhill
There are a bunch of shops and restaurants at Union Station, Pentagon City Mall, and Tysons Corner Mall.
The DC Metro is generally reliable (though it has its bad days) and clean, albeit expensive.
Peter Parker Me too and I’m going to D. C. Today for the first time.
Peter Parker I happened to go there on bei bei 2 birthday
I live in DC and it’s kind of funny watching these videos because I see these things all the time, therefore they aren’t very cool…..
Violet I went to your city last month and I loved it. I live in Texas and I want to move to Washington DC. It is beautiful over there. I missed it when we came back after being there 5 days.
I’ve always lived in the shadow of DC and I love the city ?
Violet marry with me
I lived in DC a year ago, my friends just went on a class trip there, they had a “local” come into the class in our school out here in AZ. Funny thing is she only lived there for a year and to be honest she had no idea what she was talking about. So I pretty much ended up teaching the class.
