    Boasting a vast array of iconic landmarks, US capital city Washington DC has sights and sounds to suit every taste.

    The city is located on the banks of the Potomac River, a location chosen by George Washington, and the city’s design was largely the work of French-born city designer Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who took inspiration from plans provided to him by Thomas Jefferson of European cities including Paris, Amsterdam and Milan.

    Six of the ten most popular works of architecture in the US are located in Washington DC, including the White House, the Washington National Cathedral and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

    The city also boasts a thriving cultural scene, with hundreds of museums, galleries and entertainment venues, as well as professional teams in every major US sport.
