The capital of the United States, Washington, D.C., is situated on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southern and southwestern boundaries with Virginia, and has a land border with Maryland on the other side. There are 131 neighborhoods in the city, which are split into quadrants centered on the Capitol Building. As per the 2020 Census, it has 689,545 people living in it, making it the country's 20th most populated city.

Visitors may see national icons such as the Capitol and the White House, as well as hundreds of other tourist sites, such as world-class museums and significant monuments. Aside from the typical D.C. attractions – the Smithsonian museums, the U.S. Capitol, and the monuments – there is a vibrant culinary, art, and nightlife scene. You may spend your morning exploring the city's farmers' markets and modern exhibitions and your afternoon admiring the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument before seeing a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you intend to come around the end of March or early April, don't miss a stroll along the Tidal Basin, where you'll discover millions of pink cherry blossoms, as well as ideal conditions for touring the city's districts.
