Things To Do
National Museum of African American History and Culture
This is an amazing museum that we highly recommend. Please be sure to get tickets in advance, as most museums in DC are now requiring timed passes due to COVID.
Union Market
This is a terrific local indoor market/food hall with unique restaurants, stores, and bars.
The Wharf
The Wharf is DC's newest day trip destination, bringing famous restaurants, new shops, and beautiful waterfront views together in one place.
The Phillips Collection
The Phillips Collection is an amazing art museum housed in a unique space and founded by Duncan Phillips and Marjorie Acker Phillips in 1921 as the Phillips Memorial Gallery located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Among the artists represented in the collection are Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Courbet, El Greco, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Klee, Arthur Dove, Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler, Jacob Lawrence, Augustus Vincent Tack, Georgia O'Keeffe, Karel Appel, Joan Miro, Mark Rothko and Berenice Abbott.
Lincoln Memorial
This is our favorite memorial in Washington, DC. We recommend catching the sunset there!
Tidal Basin
The Tidal Basin is a 2-mile-long pond that was once attached to the Potomac River and serves as the backdrop to some of D.C.'s best-loved sites. Every spring, the Tidal Basin bursts with color as cherry blossom trees (gifted to D.C. from Tokyo) bloom into cotton candy-colored tufts, and they attract hordes of visitors.
