Tradition, history and sophistication Culminate For Romance in the greater Washington DC and Georgetown area

Even though Washington D.C. may be synonymous with politics, there is still plenty to do. The nation's capital is home to a large variety of excellent museums and boasts of many breathtakingly beautiful gardens and charming historical neighborhoods. There are fine restaurants for the culinary connoisseur and, of course, trendy clubs for the young and adventurous.

Most of the museums have landscaped gardens or lush green lawns surrounding them, which are ideal for post-visit relaxation. Many of Washington D.C.'s most famous landmarks can also be the most romantic. The Constitution Gardens are virtually an invitation for taking a long, leisurely stroll along the Potomac River. In fact, much of the National Mall is best-explored walking hand-in-hand on a lazy afternoon. Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown is another garden where you can simply lose yourself amidst the trees or gazing into the Lovers Lane Pool.

The cruises on the Potomac River offer a distinctively romantic view of Washington D.C., especially as the sun goes down and the city lights come on. Some cruises even go up to Old Town Alexandria, where Trolley Tours bring alive the historical charm of the area. There are also a number of guided tours available, covering the city's main attractions.

Adams-Morgan is a neighborhood that features exotic clubs, hip bars and lounges, as well as fine restaurants. No matter what your taste, you are sure to find more than one place in Adams-Morgan that fits your expectations.

Shopping enthusiasts can access most locations through the Metro. Try the underground Crystal City Mall, or the Fashion Center at Pentagon City. For a more quaint location, check out Georgetown Park, or simply lose yourself inside the largest boutique in the world - the Chanel Store in downtown DC.

Quite simply, Washington has it all - history, culture, romance, culinary delights, and a trendy nightlife.
