Washington D.C. Travel Guide: 5,535 reviews and 14,544 photos
Our nation's capitol is both famous and infamous, being the seat of our democracy for more than 200 years, with many scandals, protests, and wrongdoing along the way.
But enough about what's wrong with this city. We hear that ad nauseum from the media. This city has so many wonderful things to offer visitors, which I would like to share.
I've been to Washington several times, from high school daytrips, to a protest during college in 1981, and on long weekends to see art exhibitions.
The city's museums are endless and amazing, and most are free to the public. Washington has gone through many changes over the years, and is now a clean and vibrant city, with much to do and see.
It is often overlooked as a destination for tourists, because of its government association, I think, but will rival any city for its museums, nightlife, theater, and beauty.

Your tip on the East wing of the Nat'l Gallery of Art brought back some great memories for me in vivid detail! Nice travelogues, too.
I've lived here so long it's good to get a tip on where to send people to stay near Dupont Circle. GREAT location!
I would love to visit and see some works by Klee and Kandinsky. A trip is in the works! Very helpful page.
Great job on an amazing place. Haven't been in awhile but now it seems to close and too interesting to stay away. Thanks.
Ah, the gateway to over-sexed, ambitious interns....
I really.. really hate protests...
Great page. I love the Korean War Memorial also. I think its almost haunting in appearance. Lets see now you like the Korean War Memorial and you came to protest Regans policies. No wonder I like you so much.
fantastic page, l want to see it all, have pencilled in the USA for 2006.........
You have a deft touch when describing DC. I'm always a little bit in awe when I'm around the monuments and the capitol building.
Love your page. Love DC.
