Destination informationDestination information

A great destination in its own right, the USA's capital is also the gateway for your explorations of the neighbouring states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. With all those movers and shakers, there's a real buzz about Washington DC. British travellers love the place as much for the fantastic shopping opportunities as the sights. They say you can recoup your airfare with the savings in Potomac Mills, Pentagon City and Union Station malls. When you're all shopped out, it's time to go sightseeing. Visit the amazing Air and Space Museum, the White House and the moving Vietnam Memorial. The Smithsonian Museum is enormous - you could spend a whole week in there! Areas like Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan offer street-side cafés and trendy galleries.

Eats & drinksEats & drinks

This is a 'winers and diners town' with sidewalk cafés, waterfront restaurants and plenty of opportunities for fine dining. Make sure you try soft shell crab, the local speciality.
