Things to do in Washington DC
Often overshadowed by the more flashy New York City, Washington DC represents an essential destination of an East Coast tour. In fact, the District of Columbia is a real must-see for those who want to discover and get in touch with the true essence of American history and culture.Not only a political capital but also an important cultural and artistic center, Washington DC is found between the states of Virginia - on its southwest side - and Maryland - on its southeast, northeast, and northwest sides.The ideal tour of Washington starts from the National Mall, a monumental avenue of about 3 km that runs along the east-west from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
