About Washington, District of Columbia

Washington DC, capital of the United States, offers the world a window to the America’s past and a chance to see history in the making. Washington DC holds many world-renowned festivals throughout the year. Spring brings the St. Patrick's Day Parade, the White House Easter Egg Roll and the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Summer is the time for the DC Caribbean Carnival and the Independence Day Celebration. Other festivals include the Black Family Reunion Celebration and the National Christmas Tree Lighting and Pageant of Peace.

So much to see and so little time. Take advantage of unique Washington DC tours from the Old Town Trolley Tours that are hop-on, hop-off tours showing over 100 points of interest. If you like your own wheels, try Bike the Sites and Segs in the City for guided tours around town by bike or segway. SpyDrive tours go where famous spies lived and worked. At the end of the day, perch on the stone plaza in front of the Netherlands Carillon and watch the sunset bathe the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and U.S. Capitol in a golden glow. Stay awhile and watch the moon rise behind the U.S. Capitol.
