Hi! I might visit Washington DC soon and was wondering what attractions, museums, landmarks, and fun local experiences you’d recommend for a first-time visitor?

Explore the National Mall monuments, tour Smithsonian Institution museums, catch a show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, stroll Georgetown, and enjoy festivals and food markets.

This weekend in Washington, DC, enjoy Mardi Gras celebrations at The Wharf, explore the National Mall and iconic monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, and visit Smithsonian museums for free. Stroll through the Botanic Garden, check out downtown murals and art, or join a guided walking tour to soak up history, culture, and live entertainment around the city.
