Washington, a city designed to be great, shows visitors without false modesty its broad avenues, manicured boulevards, and magnificent monuments and government buildings. It is the embodiment of American power, status, and national pride. However, this does not mean that the tourist will feel uncomfortable, that he will be a stranger. On the contrary, on tours with experienced guides, it is not difficult to find common ground with this slightly self-confident «gentleman».

The history of the capital of the United States begins with a few settlements (Georgetown, Alexandria) on the bend of the Potomac River. The city itself, named after the first president, was laid out during his administration and built strictly according to plan. Now, in the center of Washington D.C. (District of Columbia), there is a National Alley that unites the most important landmarks: the White House on the north side, the Jefferson Memorial on the south side, the Capitol on the east side, the Lincoln Memorial on the west side. In the center of this cross stands the marble stele of Washington. On the other side of the river (i.e. already on the territory of Virginia) is the gigantic Pentagon, the center of the military power of the state. Tourist note: A tour of the White House is available to all comers, but the Pentagon prohibits even a photo in front of the building.

The other side of life in the capital is the flourishing of culture. The architectural ensemble is a delight to the eye, intricately combining Victorian and Georgian houses, buildings in the neo-Gothic, neoclassical and Beaux-Arts styles. As for museums, a galaxy (19 organizations) operate under the Smithsonian Institution. They are devoted to the arts, natural history, science, technology, various periods and peoples, including Native Americans. A zoo also operates under the auspices of the Institute.

The world of fashion, shopping and nightlife is another touch to the portrait of the No. 1 persona among U.S. cities. Immersing yourself in it means getting to know the city, the country, the people and yourself better. It is also a way to get really memorable and useful souvenirs.
