Washington, DC
America's Capital City
Washington, DC is a favourite of visitors sightseeing in the United States and its Capital Region. It’s known for being the capital of the USA, but that’s only the beginning: Attractions in DC include famous monuments and memorials, captivating museums (many of them free!) and the National Mall, a two-mile-long national park flanked by the US Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial.
This highly walkable city is easy to explore and offers a Michelin-star rated dining scene, diverse neighbourhoods home to people and cultures from around the world, festive annual events and vibrant theatre and nightlife. Oh, and a little presidential residence called the White House.

Maryland
Situated along the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coast, Maryland boasts plenty of outdoor charms along the water. From picturesque towns like St. Michaels to the gorgeous beaches and roaming wild horses of Assateague Island, Maryland’s Eastern Shore is full of waterfront beauty.
The big city of Baltimore and Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, are filled with restaurants, museums and even more opportunities for fun on the water. Key experiences here include sailing, boating and, of course, enjoying the Old Line State’s signature blue crabs.
Western Maryland offers recreation in the Appalachian Mountains, historic Civil War battlefields, and scenic byways leading through covered bridges.

Virginia
From soaring mountains to beach resorts along the Atlantic coast, Virginia is diverse enough to feed every passion.
History buffs will delight in Virginia's offerings. Experience early American history at Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestowne. Explore the homes of America's founding fathers at Mount Vernon and Monticello. See where the US Civil War ended at Appomattox.
