Great Experiences in Georgetown
C&O Canal: Walk or bike along the path here, which offers bucolic scenery from the heart of Georgetown all the way to Maryland.
Dumbarton Oaks: Stroll through the 10 acres of formal gardens—Washington's loveliest oasis.
M Street: Indulge in some serious designer retail therapy (or just window-shopping). Reward your willpower or great find with a great meal afterward—all on the same street.
Tudor Place: Step into Georgetown's past with a visit to the grand home of the Custis-Peter family. On view are antiques from George and Martha Washington's home at Mount Vernon and a 1919 Pierce Arrow roadster.
Washington Harbour and Waterfront Park: Come on a warm evening to enjoy sunset drinks while overlooking the Watergate, Kennedy Center, and Potomac River.
