One of the most colourful neighbourhoods is the bohemian district of Adams-Morgan with a variety of shops and ethnic stores, while the arty suburb of DuPont Circle is an affluent business and residential area, with excellent restaurants, art galleries and shops.

Selected by George Washington for its strategic location between the South and the North, and for its convenience to the sea via the Potomac River, the capital of the United States is situated in a region specially created to avoid the establishment of the capital city in any one state. Washington, DC (District of Columbia) with its low-profile skyline, is a city of green parks and open spaces, grand buildings, historic landmarks, marbled statue and grand museums, with character-filled neighbourhoods that support a flourishing cultural scene with scores of wonderful restaurants, shops and night time entertainment.
