Long ago you might have learned that Washington DC is the capital city of the US. Your textbooks probably had photos of its stunning monuments so you feel like you know the place. However you can’t really get the idea of what the city is all about until you have seen its buildings up-close.

I really believe that as a traveler exploring the US or as a local you should definitely include a couple of Washington DC tours in your itinerary to at least get to see the basic points of interest.

Washington City Guide – 4 of the Best Things to Do

1. Hop-On Hop-Off Tour – This is my favorite thing to do whenever I visit a new city if it is available. This is the perfect way to get to know the place fast. The best part is being able to leave the bust and take it again once you are ready. In Washington there are a few companies offering this service.

2. Segway Tour – Here is another one that is great for all ages and a lot of fun. These tours take you through some of the most iconic monuments of the city while a guide gives you all sorts of fun facts. You also get a short preparatory class on how to use the segway.

3. Go Sightseeing to Gettysburg – This is one of the most important historical sites of the region. This was the place where the Gettysburg battle from the civil war was fought. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the war and was the turning point where Lee’s attempt to invade the North ended.

4. Explore the International Spy Museum – This is a space solely dedicated to espionage all over the world. In it you can have hours of fun while seeing the largest collection of international espionage artifacts ever in exhibition. You can also learn about famous spies and how their work changed the world.

You can definitely do the activities I mentioned before on their own, but you can also find some Washington attraction tickets that offer combos so that you can save time and money.
