Washington, DC, the Nation’s capital, sits at the center of the region which is traversed by the Potomac River. The seat of the Nation's government provides visitors with some of the worlds most famous landmarks including the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Smithsonian Institution, and a plethora of monuments, museums and other attractions at the core of the Washington, DC area. Washington, DC with its low-profile skyline is a city of green parks and open spaces, grand buildings, historic landmarks, marbled monuments and impressive museums, with character-filled neighborhoods that support a thriving cultural scene.
More than 20 million visitors flock to the legislative and administrative headquarters of the land each year. D.C. is also home to the Smithsonian Institute and the National Gallery of Art. The state offers much for the romantic. As well as quiet countryside, there are the flaming sunsets, misty islands, snowy mountains, picturesque small towns and exciting cities. Whatever you are seeking as inspiration, you'll find it in Washington State. In fact here there are more islands than anywhere else in the West. Mist-cloaked or sun-struck, rocky or forested, remote or abuzz with visitors, there is somewhere for every mood. The most famous are the San Juans, strewn like emeralds across the cobalt sea, which offer facilities for every type of holiday.
Just to the northeast of Washington in Maryland, an easy car ride away, is another great city, Baltimore. The Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are easily accessible. The city and the surrounding suburbs in Maryland and Virginia have an active and exciting night-life. There are clubs, bars, and theaters to satisfy any taste and restaurants of nearly every type in existence.
Although technically located in the South, Washington is a very cosmopolitan city and in fact bears little resemblance at all to the rest of the US. To most Americans DC is a fascinating place to visit, teeming with politics, diplomacy, history, and scandal. Those of us who live "inside the Beltway" by choice wouldn't have it any other way.
