Acerca del libro
Washington, D.C., originally known as Federal City, is the capital of the United States and the home of its three branches of government. It has a collection of free, public museums unparalleled in size and scope throughout the history of mankind. It also has the lion's share of the nation's most treasured monuments and memorials. The vistas on the National Mall between the Capitol, Washington Monument, White House, and Lincoln Memorial are famous throughout the world as icons of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation.
In the past two decades, D.C. has shed its old reputation as a city both boring & dangerous, to one that now offers shopping, dining, and nightlife befitting a world-class metropolis. Visitors will find the city exciting, and decidedly cosmopolitan and international, while still maintaining its historical roots.
As the base of the US Government and its President, D.C. naturally instills a feeling of power and strength. The city is filled with memorable places to visit and many white, colossal, neoclassical buildings. It also consists of several districts, which all have their own unique personality.
This book provides an informative and colourful account of some of the city's best known sites.
