The nation's capital has long made for an
inspiring tourist destination. Visit historic and politically significant
landmarks such as the White House, the Capitol Building, Washington Monument,
the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Vietnam and Korean War Memorials, the
Pentagon and much more. But Washington D.C. is more than just politically
oriented; this city is teeming with a variety of world-class restaurants,
sizzling nightlife, historic neighborhoods, upscale shopping, and countless
other enticements that charm thousands of visitors each year. Don't forget about
the National Mall, an expansive lawn which stretches from the Washington
Monument all the way to the Capitol Building. The Mall is not only the primary
site for city festivals, political rallies and other such events, but it is also
where "museum row" can be found, a string of Smithsonian Museums as
well as other renowned cultural venues.
