City Information
Falmouth
The city of Falmouth, on Cape Cod, is known for having beautiful beaches and many educational attractions, such as Falmouth Village and the Woods Hole. It's ideal for exploring nature, with top sights like the Shining Sea Bikeway and Falmouth Beach. As the ocean is an important part of the city, it's famous for its seafood, which you can taste at the historic Fishmonger Cafe. The local produce (wine counts as produce, right?) is just as good, with Cape Cod vineyard being a hugely popular destination.

D.C. is not just about politics and museums, though. The city’s active nightlife fittingly ranks it among the biggest party hubs in the country.
