With so many iconic sights it's hard to forget you're at the heart of power in the graciously proportioned, classically styled city of Washington DC. Time Out's local journalists, writers and experts take readers on an informed and detailed excursion around the city, taking in not only the likes of the Capitol building, the Supreme Court and the White House, but also Washington's highly individual neighborhoods, its restaurants and bars, and its unparalleled collection of museums and galleries. They delve into the vagaries of political life in the White House and on Capitol Hill, the patterns of immigration that have made the city what it is today, the DC music scene and shopping possibilities from high-end designer boutiques to neighborhood bookshops.
