Washington DC is a very versatile town with folks visiting from across America and the world. It is also one of the oldest cities in the US and a home to so many iconic buildings and historic communities. The DC region is a fantastic venue to glean politics and government but it has other amenities too. There is a vibrant scene, chic shopping counties, scenic Georgetown, and Alexandria regions and food ranging from chili hotdogs to Ethiopian gastronomy. Sportlovers can feasibly sit and watch baseball, soccer, basketball, soccer, and ice hockey.

Famed theaters, music venues and coveted college campuses are also available. The region of the District of Columbia (DC) itself is quite small, with a total population of 600,000.
