🏛️ About Washington D.C.
Formally known as the District of Columbia, Washington D.C. is more than a capital—it’s the symbolic and functional heart of American democracy. Situated along the Potomac River and bordered by Maryland and Virginia, it is home to all three branches of the United States federal government—the Capitol, the White House, and the Supreme Court—as well as major global institutions like the World Bank, IMF, and Organization of American States.
Among its many iconic landmarks is the National Mall, a vast ceremonial strip lined with memorials and museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and the Library of Congress—the largest library in the world. D.C. is also a flourishing cultural centre, especially known for its vibrant performing arts scene, historic neighbourhoods, and political activism.
Whether you're visiting for the cherry blossoms, a business meeting, or a deep dive into American history, this map ensures you won’t miss a thing.
