Clear. Cool.
7 day forecast »
To some, Washington means white marble, verdant lawns, and the colorful, ritualistic pageantry of American politics: the Capitol dome; limousine processions on Inauguration Day; the mournful, somber, stately changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery.
If civic politics is the American religion, then Washington DC is the nation's holy city - a patriotic combination of history and histrionics: BYO wiretap.
All day DC Tour
The tour spends the morning visiting Arlington National Cemetery and all the monuments followed by an afternoon outside the Beltway visiting Mt. Vernon and Old Town Alexandria.

Suggested Itineraries in Washington DC
Delivering the city from bureaucratic blandness, Jackie Kennedy kick-started a trend towards diversity. Today, Washington is a smorgasbord of ethnically varied food. Each community - Vietnamese, Salvadoran, East African, Caribbean or Middle Eastern - brings something tantalizing to the table.
And for a relatively small city, Washington DC has a staggering number of clubs and bars. There's a scene for everyone, from buttoned-down professionals to go-go boys, from punks to Euro-hipsters. There's enough going on in the cherry blossom city to have those puritan Fathers turning in their mausoleums.
