Mr./Ms. (place name here) Goes To Washington - yes, you just might be interested in a trip to Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States of America, named after George Washington, whom we may know from the history books as the first US President, but also at the forefront of the American Revolution, which freed America from...us Britons! The District of Columbia, on the other hand, is the federal district where Washington is located, and is, in essence, governed by a mayor in a single municipal government. Washington, D.C. does not have any Senator or member of the U.S. House of Representatives, but the U.S. Congress is still the sovereign authority in this area - all right, so there goes that quick refresher.

While Washington D.C. is small in size, it is big in terms of power, as this is where you will find all three of the U.S. federal government's offices, and in addition to this, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund make their headquarters in this locale.

Washington, D.C. is a haven of tourists from all over the world, and you really do not have to analyze the fact that people are genuinely interested with the nuances and quirks of America's capital. There is also a wide variety of special events, such as the Cherry Blossom celebration and the National Mall's many yearly events, open free of charge for anybody and everybody who wants to see what Washington, D.C. is all about - inspiring Americans and foreigners alike most every day of the year!

While Washington, D.C. may be better known as a city rich in American heritage, it is also a city rich in the nightlife. Visitors are regaled with a wide variety of bars, bistros, fine dining restaurants and coffee houses, allowing them to settle down and have a good time in private. Since some of the U.S. most prestigious and famous universities are located in the city, its beat is further enhanced by thousands of undergrad and graduate students who pursue the degree of their choice while enjoying the city's possibilities.

If you are wondering whether or not it is worth visiting the city, the answer is a definite yes.
