Introduction
Beyond Washington D.C.’s most familiar sites such as the Capitol Building, Jefferson Memorial and the White House, the capital city unwinds into a lively urban centre. Casual cafes and upscale bistros line the trendy streets of Georgetown, while the downtown district sizzles with a host of new restaurants.
If shopping is on your mind, then Washington is the place to go. The city abounds with upscale boutiques, antique shops and outdoor markets, while bargain-filled outlet malls can be easily reached from downtown.
