QUARTIERS À DÉCOUVRIR
Georgetown
Maisons pittoresques alignées et rues pavées donnent le ton à ce charmant quartier, favori des touristes et de la population locale. C’est aussi un paradis du shopping, avec M Street qui offre à la fois des grandes marques et des designers haut de gamme.
U Street
Ce quartier vivant pourrait être considéré comme la partie de DC qui ne dort jamais. En tant que plaque tournante de la vie nocturne, les lieux de musique sont nombreux. C’est même le lieu de naissance du célèbre musicien de jazz Duke Ellington, et il est imprégné de l’héritage afro-américain.
Adams Morgan
Bien que connu pour sa scène nocturne le long de la 18e Rue, Adams Morgan possède également une variété de magasins indépendants et de boutiques excentriques. La scène gastronomique est renforcée par un large choix mettant en avant la gastronomie internationale.
Capitol Riverfront
Situé le long de la rivière Anacostia, ce quartier abrite le stade des Washington Nationals, qui évoluent en Major League de Baseball. Les parcs en bordure d’eau reflètent la beauté naturelle de la région, tandis que les choix de restauration se sont multipliés ces dernières années.
