Washington, DC
Washington, DC is on the east coast of the United States, on the Potomac River, between Maryland (to the north, east and south) and Virginia (across the river to the west). It isn’t part of any state: DC is a federal district, created as the national capital. It’s about 225 km (140 miles) southwest of Philadelphia and roughly 360 km (225 miles) from New York City. Three airports serve it: Reagan National (DCA, closest to downtown), Dulles (IAD) and Baltimore/Washington (BWI). Union Station links it by Amtrak to the rest of the Northeast Corridor, and the Metro system makes getting around easy.
Best time to go: Spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to early November) are the most pleasant. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cold but quiet, with lower hotel rates.
Seasonal highlights. The cherry blossoms in late March to early April are the signature event, and the city is beautiful in autumn too.
Seat of government. The US Capitol, the White House (viewed from outside, or by advance request for tours), the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. Tours of the Capitol and Library are bookable ahead.
Free world-class museums. The Smithsonian institutions are free to enter, including the National Air and Space Museum, Natural History, American History and African American History and Culture, plus the National Gallery of Art.
The National Mall. The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, WWII Memorial, MLK Memorial and the Reflecting Pool, all within walking distance and especially striking lit up at night.
