Spring has finally arrived in Washington DC, and what better time to get out and explore the city’s many National monuments? While captivating by day, many of the monuments take on a whole new glow at night, under city lights. Explore some of the nation’s most famous sights by foot on your own, or, after Memorial, with Washington Walks’ ”Memorials By Moonlight” tours.

Or, if you’re tired of being on your feet, try out Old Town Trolley’s ”Monuments by Moonlight Night Tour” trolley ride.

Prefer to travel by boat? Washington’s got that covered too. DC Cruises offers Sunset and Moonlight Cruises along the Potomac River.

Ask your friendly innkeeper to learn more about these, and other ways to see the city’s finest sights. Happy exploring!

The White House Tour, Washington DC

December 13, 2011 – 9:33 pm

Of course there is the national mall and all of the amazing Smithsonian Exhibits, but when in DC don’t forget to see the White House!  The White House Tour takes some preparation as you will need to seek out a pass from your states congressional office.  For those visitors from abroad, please see your local DC embassy for details on acquiring this pass.  Tours are offered in the early morning hours for security reasons, so it is wise to try to get your pass the day before your projected tour.
