As the capital city Washington D.C. is the political heart of America. From Capitol Hill and the White House to the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, it's home to some of the most significant sites in the entire country.
Not only is it the place where all the power lies, it's a fascinating city to visit as a tourist - particularly for those who love their history. It's the city where Martin Luther King Jr gave his I Have a Dream speech, where the Watergate scandal took place, and where the Declaration of Independence is housed. It's no surprise there are many museums and galleries visitors flock to in huge numbers.
In addition to the city's rich history, it also boasts a wonderful theatre and arts scene, and some of the most beautiful parks and greenspaces you'll see anywhere in the United States.
