The Best of NileGuide
- The center of American politics and one of the world's most influential cities, Washington DC is packed with memorials, historical buildings and rich cultural experiences. Most of the district's must-sees are clustered around the Mall, a two mile-long park with the Capitol at one end, the Lincoln Memorial at the other, with the White House, Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian in-between. Beyond the Mall, there are countless hiking trails and parks, like Rock Creek Park. Take advantage of DC's abundant green spaces without ever leaving the city limits. Consider visiting one of the city's dozens of theaters presenting both classics and new productions, like the Kennedy Center and Arena Stage, or perhaps plan a unique and fun family activity, like touring the city with the DC Ducks - sure to be a children's favorite. These are just part of an ever-increasing list of "must-sees" - the things you should experience in order to get a sense of what Washington is all about. Why, if you're a lobbyist, you could even buy yourself a congressman!
