Washington, D.C. is both America’s Capital and a
vital worldwide center. Washington emits a
compelling intensity and power. Its most famous
landmarks inspire, awe and command a second
look. Beside the largeness of their scale and the
classic columns and proportions, you’ll see a
worried Lincoln fearful for his nation and the
figures of “justice” caring for the law.
On the Great Mall, you’ll visit memorials
commemorating America’s great wars and honoring
its heroes ... with inscribed names, photographs
and faces, human forms and icons. Both in daylight
and moonlight, Washington’s finest memorials
evoke deep emotion.
See the elegant neighborhoods of Dupont,
Georgetown and Embassy Row and the mansions
and museums filled with silver and art. With its
cosmopolitan population and huge “power”
clusters, Washington has famous restaurants
