While visiting Washington, D.C., we highly recommend taking time to see some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. A stroll along the National Mall offers the opportunity to experience historic sights such as The White House, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the United States Capitol. These remarkable monuments reflect the history and grandeur of the nation’s capital and are especially striking when illuminated in the evening.

Georgetown is one of Washington’s most picturesque neighborhoods. Spend the afternoon strolling its historic streets, browsing stylish boutiques, and enjoying lunch in a charming café or cocktails in a vibrant bar.

The Georgetown Waterfront is one of the city’s most scenic spots. Enjoy a stroll along the Potomac River, then sit outside at one of the waterfront’s many restaurants for a drink or meal with beautiful views - especially lovely in the summer.

CityCenterDC is one of Washington’s most elegant shopping destinations, located in the heart of downtown. Stroll through its beautifully designed open-air plaza, browse boutiques, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this stylish district. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon shopping and enjoying the energy of the city.

For a truly memorable way to experience Washington’s most iconic landmarks, consider seeing the monuments from the water along the Potomac River. A private or guided boat tour offers a serene and elegant perspective of the city—whether enjoyed during the day or by moonlight, with the monuments beautifully illuminated. Cruises are available through Capitol River Cruises, City Experiences, among others.

Old Town Alexandria is a charming historic waterfront town just across the Potomac River in Virginia. Stroll along its picturesque streets lined with beautifully preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings, boutique shops, and inviting cafés. Guests can easily reach Old Town by driving across the bridge over the Potomac, or by taking a scenic water taxi from Georgetown or The Wharf to Alexandria for a particularly memorable journey.
