District of Columbia Vacations, Tours & Travel Packages


  • Panaroma of the Washington Monument

As the only federal district in the United States, the District of Columbia is home to the heart of American politics. Washington comprises its entire area, defined by neoclassical architecture and iconic buildings like the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Supreme Court. Take a grand tour of the sprawling lawn of the National Mall, composed of historical monuments like the Lincoln Memorial. The vast museum complexes of the Smithsonian Institution hold a wealth of knowledge and culture in a number of unforgettable collections at places like the National Air and Space Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and more. Art galleries abound in the U.S capital as well, including the National Art Gallery, Portrait Gallery, Museum of Asian Art, and more.

While Washington D.C may have the air of formality, you’d be surprised by the nightlife that awaits you, whether you opt for the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts or the National Symphony Orchestra. Local musicians light up the venues and bars lining U Street, and amphitheatres stretch out into more residential areas. Sports fans have their choice of terrain featuring some of the nation’s best baseball, hockey, basketball, and soccer teams, including the Nationals, Capitals, Wizards, and D.C United. Luckily, everyone in the District lives within ten minutes of a park, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind the next day in green gardens or on the banks of the Potomac River.
