Washington D.C. may not be a very large capital city out of all other capitals of the world but it still has plenty of things that make it a hot tourist destination. It is a great place to learn about the history of America, from viewing precious documents to seeing Congress in action. Dozens of museums abound in the central area. An efficient subway system makes it easy to get around the city and see most of the top attractions. For example, its Library of Congress is the largest library in the world.The library had a humble beginning being founded in 1800 to house early documents of the United States that were transferred from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. For the first 100 years, it was mainly a reference library for Congress, but today is home to millions of items that include books in more than 450 languages and over 65 million manuscripts. It has the largest collection of rare books in North America. The library is open to the public, but potential users are asked to check the library's list of holdings on online before they come to make research materials more easily findable when they arrive. The main reading room is known as the Sacred Room, and is absolutely stunning. Next in the line is National Air and Space Museum. Visitors don't have to be kids to be fascinated by the National Air and Space Museum. Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Air and Space Museum offers plenty of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from eight to 80. The museum is a treasure trove about America's air and space programs. Exhibits include everything from the 1903 Wright Flyer to the Apollo 11 moon-landing expedition to exhibits on how scientists are exploring space today. The best part? Admission to the basic museum is free, though fees charged may be charged for features such as IMAX.Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and White House are a must see.
I am sure that after reading above lines, you would surely make your mind to go to Washington at least once, if you haven't been there till now. And I must also tell you that there are some really cheap flights to Washington. You can log in now and start enquiring about such flights and finally plan your travel. All the best for your Washington trip and have a safe and lovely flight!
