There's a lot more to do in Washington D.C than clicking pictures before the White House, especially if you are looking for a leisurely holiday. Grab some golfing gear and tee off at one of the many verdant golf courses, for D.C is a veritable gold mine when it comes to great nine-hole courses. You can even experiment with some Footgolf, a new sport that's taking the region by storm at the Pinecrest Golf Course. A plethora of museums will satiate the history buff in you while paddling in the Tidal Basin will reconnect you with nature without straying far into the wild. If you want to recharge after all the sightseeing, pamper and rejuvenate yourself with a massage at any of the premier spas, ensuring a perfect end to a holiday in the national capital.


United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Visitors should come prepared for an experience they'll not forget when visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the start of the tour, each visitor is given an identity card of a Holocaust victim that matches the visitor's own age and gender. Ordinary reality is skewed through off-center stairways, weird angles, and the shadows of other visitors on the glass walkways overhead. An elaborate audio-visual display includes interviews, films, and photographs. The Hall of Remembrance provides a calm, empty space at the end of the tour where one can reflect on the experience. The museum discourages children under the age of 11 from attending. Admission to the museum is free. However, from March through August, a free pass is required to enter the permanent exhibition. Passes are not required to gain entrance to the museum building or to go to any of the smaller exhibitions, memorials, or special programming.

The white marble facade of the building reckons awe and respect and the magnificent, yet sober interiors speak volumes about the elegance and gravitas of the country's highest judiciary.

Georgetown Waterfront Park

Georgetown Waterfront was an industrial area bustling with lumber and cement factories. However, due to the efforts and suggestions of National Capital Planning Commission, Georgetown Waterfront Park has now been developed.

Also worth experiencing are the park's various mini attractions like the River Steps, Labyrinth and Fountain.
