I was pleasantly surprised by Washington D.C. We rented an Airbnb apartment a bit outside the city center, but thanks to the top-class public transport system (the best in the US?) we could easily get into town whenever we wanted.

Washington must also be one of the cleanest and most pedestrian-friendly cities in the US, and with all the powerful buildings and monuments around town, it is a lot of fun to explore on foot. I can also recommend a visit to Arlington National Cemetary.

We were there during the last debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump right before the election, and I have to say that it was special watching those at pubs located at the very home of US politics.

I would recommend going there at least once if you are anywhere nearby. Especially if you are a fan of House of Cards and The West Wing like myself. You can easily combine a trip to Washington and New York.
