SIGHTSEEING
Washington, D.C. is much more than a political hub - it is a mecca
for museums and historic sites and one of the world's finest
business and leisure travel destinations.  The city's marble
monuments, numerous festivals and celebrations, scores of
international restaurants and many other attractions make Washington
a visitor's paradise.  And best of all, most of the attractions
are open seven days a week and are free.

The greater Washington area is identified as one of the nation's
leading cultural and performing arts center with the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with concert, opera, drama and
cinema halls; the National Theater (oldest theater still in
continuous operation in the US); the Warner Theater and historic
Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was shot; and many others.

The heart of the city is the Mall, a broad, two-mile long setting
for the nation's showpieces.  This beautifully landscaped grass
field stretches from the foot of the Capitol past the Smithsonian
Institution's museums and behind the White House, ending at the
Lincoln Memorial.  Other nearby attractions include the Jefferson,
Vietnam, Korean, Marine and Navy memorials, Arlington National
Cemetery, Dunbarton Oaks, National Zoo, and National Arboretum.

Away from the national monuments and halls of power are
Washington's architecturally and culturally diverse neighborhoods,
from the ethnically rich Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle to
Embassy Row, Georgetown and the natural beauty of Rock Creek Park.
