ThereÕs no city in the world quite like Washington, DC. Built more than two centuries ago as the capital of the United States of America, today it is arguably one of the youngest yet most powerful capital cities on the globe.

While we are known for our magnificent museums and monuments our politics often commands centre stage in Washington, DC projecting a stodgy image. A hip and trendy cosmopolitan city is emerging with smart boutique hotels, cutting-edge theatre and a restaurant scene representative of a global village. A day could be filled with kayaking and biking the sites along the Mall or by browsing the shops in Georgetown and perusing the fine works at AmericaÕs first museum of modern art, The Phillips Collection. As the sun sets, the lights go up on upwards of 200 stages featuring live theatre productions while some of the most talented global chefs prepare their own version of edible art for their guestsÕ enjoyment and then hit the town at our trendy clubs and bars. You will never forget your American Experience.
