The Rough Guide to Washington DC
is the most comprehensive guide to this powerful city. Containing
thoroughly researched coverage of all the city’s historic and
contemporary sights, it is the must-have item for any trip.
The guide
includes full write-ups of museums large and small, and breakdowns of
neighbourhoods tame, tough and tawdry. Discover a city that is so much
more than a political hot-spot, with the essential information on the
happening districts of Adams Morgan and Shaw, Dupont Circle and the
Penn Quarter, and the emerging nightlife precinct of the H Street
Corridor.
There is detailed historic background on the major
politicians, activists, and cultural figures that have shaped DC for
more than 200 years. Full-colour maps guide you through every region of
the city, and with all the practical grittiness you’d expect from a
Rough Guide, this is the ultimate companion to the "federal metropolis"
that is DC.
