Washington, DC

The United States capital overflows with iconic monuments, immersive museums, and world-famous buildings teeming with political power and history. There’s nothing quite like the Smithsonian Institution, a collection of 19 huge, artifact-stuffed museums which are always free! You can really pack a lot into a trip to DC – visit the Capital Building; stand in front of the Supreme Court Building; take a selfie outside the White House; visit the National Archives and see the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence; stand where Martin Luther King Jr gave his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech on the Lincoln Memorial’s steps; see the flag that inspired the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the National Museum of American History; head over to the Watergate Building where Nixon met his downfall; and, be a stone’s throw from where Lincoln was assassinated in Ford’s Theatre. There is so much to see and do in Washington, DC – it is a capital like no other!
