Five things to see/do in Washington: The Smithsonian is actually a series of museums, all free, and includes the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of Natural History, and more.
The 555 ft. high Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial, all famous Washington landmarks, and all visually breathtaking, are definitely worth a visit.
Take a leisurely stroll down the National Mall, the public area between the Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial, with its fountains, gardens, and monuments.
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is another big attraction, with its famous “Christ Pantocreator” mosaic, and its beautifully serene side chapels.
After a long day of sightseeing, head for the city’s historic Georgetown area, with its many restaurants, bars, and cafes.
