Cuddled up by Potomac River and touching borders with Maryland and Virginia, Washington, DC is America’s first planned city. A home to America’s ancient monuments, statues, museums, neo-classical government buildings and more, the District of Columbia boasts an equally rich heritage of performing arts and music. Featuring headquarters of IMF, World Bank, and the Organization of American States, Washington is much more than a cultural center of America.

The other version features white marble monuments and historical museums nestled in the shadows of the Capitol Dome. It also witnesses a wild and carefree nightlife.
