About Washington, DC

Now more than ever, there is something new to see in Washington!

If you visited Washington even a few years ago, there may be areas of our nation's capital that you won't recognize. We are in the middle of a building boom where new office buildings, condos and retail areas are popping up around every corner. Urban professionals are abandoning the traffic-jammed suburbs for condos in the city center. Neighborhoods that were once all but forgotten are prospering. From our new 2.3 million square foot convention center to trendy 14th Street / Logan Circle, areas all over the city are being improved. The MCI Center redevelopment program has turned Chinatown / Gallery Place into a Georgetown-like shopping and dining mecca.

If you have never been to Washington before, you'll be quick to realize there is no other city quite like it. From Capitol Hill to Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle and Georgetown, Washington, DC offers the convenience of a small town with the luxury of international city. The city is packed with famous historical sights, museums, monuments, world-class shopping and gourmet restaurants… all within the District's 10-mile-square boundaries.
