There’s tons of things to do in Washington D.C. that aren’t museums or the White House, but we wanted to give you a day-trip itinerary to make sure you see all the highlights. D.C. is quite a fascinating city, given its historical significance to the United States and its current position in the world.
It’s also a bonus that all the famous museums are free and the closest thing Americans have to a castle is there. It’s possible to do a day trip with the five attractions we’ve selected here, but I highly recommend staying a few days to really experience the city.
