Along with being the epicentre of political power in the US, Washington DC offers so much to see: world-class museums, a diverse range of arts and culture and a thriving dining scene.
It is the home of the President, Congress, the Supreme Court and many more must-visits such as the Smithsonian museums, the iconic statues of the National Mall and Arlington.
The population of DC is close to 800,000 people, and the centre of the city feels compact and easy to get around.
