Must-Visit Places

Washington has very many historic edifices and elegant attractions. The National Mall contains three world-famous buildings: the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument. Access the Smithsonian Museums: the National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Take time out to roam Georgetown: it is an upscale enclave of cobblestone streets, upscale boutiques, and fine dining. Take a relaxing Potomac River cruise or visit the incredible estate of Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. Don't miss the most renowned Washington beaches, such as Birch Bay near the Canadian border. These places are indeed a must-have on any Washington tour package. 

Traveling Tips

Public transportation within Washington is perfect, but there is no comparison for private chauffeurs' convenience and comfort. Even for exclusive meals, fine gallery events require impressively bright dresses. As advanced reservations for museum tours and fine dining get taken very quickly, make sure to book well in advance. Indulge in the culinary delights of the local cuisine, having crab cakes and sipping Virginia wine in one of the great restaurants.

Washington is best experienced at spring and fall for adventure excursions or outdoor sites. Springtime is especially magical, with cherry blossoms gracing everything with their beauty, while autumn brings warm tones with flowering leaves.
