Cheap Flights to Washington DC
Washington is often compared with Paris, because its French-born designer Pierre L’Enfant used a similar street layout. And like Paris, one of its most notable features is the absence of skyscrapers. Washington is visually breathtaking, with open spaces and long vistas.
Washington’s appeal to visitors is multifold. It is the seat of government for the United States, and its construction began in the early days of the young nation. It is home to a large number of beautiful buildings and monuments, historic memorials and outstanding museums.
Just on the Mall there are more museums than anyone can cover. Major ones are the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian, the National Museum of Natural History, and the new National Museum of the American Indian. On Capitol Hill, you can visit the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress. You can also tour the U.S. Botanic Garden’s conservatory, or merely enjoy its lovely park.
Washington has many interesting neighborhoods. One of the most attractive is Georgetown, with 18th and 19th century houses and brick sidewalks and an array of upscale shops and restaurants.
