Top 5 Visitor Centers in Washington DC, District of Columbia (DC)
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

Our tour of the Capitol was the highlight of our first trip to Washington, and tour guide Norah O'Reilly was the most informative and engaging guide we have ever had, anywhere. She gently yet efficiently brought us through the treasures of this incredible building and her level of knowledge and enthusiasm for the history, art and politics of the place was hugely impressive and inspiring. We managed to get into the viewing gallery of the House of Representatives afterwards which was so exciting. An incredible visit.

Missed out on the White House tour. This was great substitute experience. The quiet calm atmosphere, good historical information, and friendly staff made this a memorable part of our vacation. Denise in the gift shop area was super friendly and passionate about the White House Christmas ornaments. Her knowledge and enthusiasum was engaging. The prices on the ornaments was better than other gift shops in the area. We bought several ornaments. :-)
