One of our very first dates was a long walk along the National Mall—just the two of us, great conversation, and beautiful views. Many museums nearby. All free! Favorites include the National Museum of American History, Air and Space Museum, and National Gallery of Art.
Free tours available with stunning architecture and history
With tons of food options and cute shops, it’s one of our favorite spots for a spontaneous date night.
Waterfront dining, live music, and beautiful views—especially great at sunset
Cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and Federal-style architecture set the scene as you browse boutique shops, enjoy riverside dining, or take a peaceful walk along the C&O Canal.
Stroll King Street’s cobblestone sidewalks lined with colonial-era buildings, independent boutiques, and cozy cafés. Our favorite restaurant is Mia's Italian Kitchen!
Tucked away behind this historic house in Old Town Alexandria is a quiet little garden—our special hidden spot where Josh proposed! It’s a peaceful, romantic corner of the city we’ll always cherish.
