Attractions and Tips

As the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., is unsurprisingly rich in sites to see. Begin with a stop at the Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans Memorials.

To get lost in a collection of more than 126 million artifacts, visit the National Museum of Natural History. Before you leave, visit the White House and the Washington Monument. Take a glass-encased elevator to the top of the 555-foot monument for great views.

For a tour of the White House, contact your senator or representative at least 21 days in advance of your planned trip. End with a stroll along the Tidal Basin, a two-mile long pond flanked by cherry blossoms trees.

If you like an active nightlife, stay in Penn Quarter. If you want to stay close to the White House, look for a Midtown hotel. Washington, D.C. experiences seasonal weather changes. Plan your visit for spring or fall for best chances of good weather.
