Things To Do

Welcome to the nation's capital! With over 70 museums and 160 monuments and memorials, there's so much history and culture to explore. We've narrowed the list down to some of our favorites.
Tidal Basin

Tidal Basin

1500 Maine Ave SW, Washington, DC

You're in luck! DC's famous cherry blossoms should be blooming! Walk along the Tidal Basin for views of the iconic flowers as well as many national monuments.

Renwick Gallery

Steps from the White House, this small Smithsonian gallery featuring contemporary craft and decorative arts is Rachel's favorite. It's much smaller than the other museums, so you can easily stop by while sightseeing. No tickets are required.

Washington, DC

Adam's recommendation is to try new foods! With DC being such an international city, you can find restaurants for almost every cuisine imaginable. If you don't know where to begin, give Ethiopian a try. It's wildly popular here in the city. If you'd like a dining recommendation, send us a message!

Smithsonian National Museum of American History

Smithsonian National Museum of American History

1300 Constitution Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20560
, (202) 633-1000

The Smithsonian that we send all our visitors to is the National Museum of American History. From its exhibits on science and technology to food and fashion, you can see collections on all slices of American life. There's over 3 million artifacts inside, so plan to spend at least a few hours exploring. Highlights in this museum include seeing the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz and Abraham Lincoln's top hat. If history and pop culture aren't in your interests, then you should opt for the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum or one of the many other Smithsonian museums along the National Mall. Remember all the Smithsonian museums have free entry!
