Washington DC Links Directory and Travel Resources

(Washington, District of Columbia - DC, USA)

Whatever the time of year you plan to visit Washington DC, you can be sure to find plenty to fill any vacation. Many tourists immediately head to the White House, hoping for a tour of the president's home, only to learn that these self-guided tours often need to be book many months ahead. Alternatively, the White House Visitor Center is on hand, with its host of presidential souvenirs and gifts.

Springtime in Washington sees the arrival of the cherry blossom (March to April) and the much-anticipated National Cherry Blossom Festival, while at the peak of the summer, 'nearby' Chesapeake Beach is flooded with sunseekers and hotels raise their prices, due to increased demand. Later on in the autumn, the fall season (September to October) is noticeably less crowded, with lower lodging rates and still very pleasant weather.

Those headed to the American capital may like to make use of the following carefully sourced Washington DC links, which include some of the top hotels and attractions.
