With history around every corner, Washington, D.C. is a city that magically blends yesterday and today. This updated guide----often among our top domestic best-sellers ---lets travelers discover the myriad, charms of the nation's capital, from its stately monuments to the trendiest restaurants.
 
Expanded Coverage:  World-class museums, shady parks, and an important arts scene make Washington, D.C. an ever-changing American showcase: more than 15 million tourists head here every year. Plus, brand-new hotel, restaurant, shop, and bar reviews in this annual update offer fresh tips for staying, and playing, in such top hotspots as Dupont Circle and Georgetown.
 
Illustrated Features: Features in glowing color propel visitors to the awe-inspiring Capitol Building, the eye-popping sights of the National Air and Space Museum, and the nation's most revered resting-place, Arlington Cemetery. Thumbnail sketches highlight the stunning museums along the Mall.
 
Indispensable Trip Planning Tools:  The "Experience" chapter includes a variety of super-useful sections, such as "D.C With Kids," "Free in D.C.," and "Top Attractions," and the "Neighborhoods" chapter describes fascinating walks to key off-the-beaten-path sights. Each neighborhood section opens with a "Top Reasons to Go" map, supported by other essential information designed to help in planning and scheduling visits to attractions. For those with a taste for the more serious goings-on that drive the city's pulse, we've added special features such as "Scandalous Washington" and "How Laws are Made."
