Tips for your trips. Tourist information. Official websites.
Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia, is the capital city of the United States. The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is therefore not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself).
District of Columbia has an unparalleled collection of free, public museums, and the lion’s share of the nation’s most treasured monuments and memorials. The vistas on the National Mall (map) between the Capitol (map), Washington Monument (map), White House (map), and Lincoln Memorial (map) are iconic throughout the world.

The historic neighborhood of Georgetown (map) is the oldest part of the city, full of beautiful old colonial buildings, the 200+ year-old Jesuit campus of Georgetown University (map) that resembles a Harry Potter film set, restaurants along the waterfront, the C&O canal, and the infamous Exorcist steps (map).
Washington City Paper, Washingtonian, and the Going Out Guide by the Washington Post are websites that will keep you up-to-date on current events in the city.
