Details
The US capital is a monumental city on a grand scale, filled with splendid Neoclassical buildings arrayed along triumphal boulevards, some of the finest museums in North America and, everywhere you look, high-powered politicians, lobbyists and bureaucrats charting the course of the nation, as well as the world. But this concentration of power and influence does not make the city unapproachable. A good public transit system, many free attractions and a wide range of neighbourhoods and cultural influences make the city a great focus for a short break.
