Go Behind the Scenes in Georgetown: The truth is, you want to get lost in Georgetown because it's the side streets that hold the history and centuries-old houses of this one-time Colonial tobacco port. And not to worry -- Georgetown is so compact, you're never very far from the main drags of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
Spend the Day in Alexandria: Just a short distance (by Metro, car, boat, or bike) from the District is George Washington's Virginia hometown. On and off the beaten track are quaint cobblestone streets, charming boutiques and antiques stores, 18th-century houses and other historic attractions, and fine restaurants.
Stroll Embassy Row: Explore the neighborhood of Dupont Circle to view smaller embassies, then head northwest on Massachusetts Avenue to admire the larger ones. You'll walk along gorgeous tree-shaded streets lined with Beaux Arts mansions, many built by fabulously wealthy magnates during the Gilded Age.
