Discover The Washington, D.C. Area
If you’re new to Washington,
you are about to make your home in one of the most fast-paced, exciting and
culturally rewarding cities in the world. Everyone knows the city as the home
of our national government, but there is much more to do here once you’ve seen
Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court. You’ll find a wealth of things
to do with your free time in the daylight hours – from sports to music to
museums – and a huge variety of restaurants, clubs and theater experiences to
choose from after the sun goes down.
The Washington, D.C. area is more than just the District
of Columbia. Millions of “Washingtonians” live in Maryland, Northern Virginia and West Virginia communities, and these areas
multiply the number of places to see and things to do in the area. The
Metrorail and Metrobus systems reach into Maryland
and Virginia
where you can explore extensive park systems, shopping, world-class
entertainment venues, professional and college sports events and educational
opportunities among many other things.
There’s just too much to describe on any one Web site, so
here are some links that can make your transition to life at the heart of the
Nation’s Capital a little smoother:
