Washington - USA

Tourist Guide www.usatourist.com

Low cost inclusive car rental in Washinton USA.

The Nations Capital. Washington is a beautiful city steeped in tradition and culture. Although dominated by massive government institutions, this mighty city still finds the space for a fantastic range of fine artistic and historical attractions.

Washington owes its original design to a Frenchman who incorporated many elegant tree-lined boulevards into the planning of the city. With minimal high rise buildings the city has a surprisingly familiar European feel.

Sightseeing: By day the city is easy to explore on foot or on the ultra-modern metro system. You will find navigating Washington quite easy with its streets designed on a rectangular grid cut by long diagonals radiating from important sites such as the Capitol and the White House.

The best place to start is the world famous White House home to every American President with the exception of George Washington. From here stroll down National Mall to admire the Washington Monument, the Lincoln, Jefferson and War Veterans Memorials.

Visit the Pentagon and take a walk through the many corridors containing historical exhibits from the US forces. Constitution Gardens with more than 50 acres of trees and Lawns and the J Edgar Hoover Building (the FBI's headquarters) are all worth a visit. Washington has an abundance of museums, including the most visited museum in the U.S. - The National Air and Space Museum.

Nightlife: Washington DC has a renowned selection of excellent restaurants and almost every national cuisine can be found. Take a walk around Georgetown at Wisconsin & M streets for lively bars, restaurants and blues clubs all of which offer a big city buzz with a refreshing difference. Georgetown with its cobblestone streets was once a thriving Colonial port and has a beautiful 'riverside walk' which provides a pleasant change from the fast pace of the city.

Shopping: Great for chic designer labels, try the boutiques on Connecticut Avenue and Georgetown.

Car Hire: Car hire in America is simply a must. American roads are a joy to drive on - wide and mainly straight whizzing you from state to state in no time. Flydrive Tours are becoming one of the best ways to explore this fascinating land and is a perfect way to see the best parts of America and Canada.

You've got virtually unlimited flexibility and can look forward to campgrounds that come with four-star facilities. Motorhomes are for people who love the freedom of the open road. They allow you to explore America at your own pace and in your own style.

USA Motoring Facts - While a school bus is loading or unloading, traffic in both directions must stop.

There are no roundabouts in the USA but lots of crossroads. Therefore, everyone sits and waits - there seems to be an unwritten courtesy about who goes first.
