Washington, D.C.

District of Columbia, United States

4.5 (0)

Overview

Capital city of the United States of America. It is best visited in spring or autumn, when the weather is mildest and the crowds thinner.

Why visit: Manhattan grids, New Orleans balconies and Las Vegas neon — American cities are each their own argument.

Things to do

›Walk one neighbourhood properly rather than crossing the whole city
›Budget for sales tax and a 18–20% tip on every meal
›Use the metro where there is one — parking downtown is punishing
›Eat at the food hall or the taco truck, not the chain
