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, plus all the practical grittiness you'd expect from a Rough Guide, this is the ultimate guide to the "federal metropolis" that is DC.
