Cons: Directions to the bus station were given but the bus did not actuslly stop there. Luckily another gentleman who was also travelling walked across to Roosterspin where a bus had stopped and told us to walk across. Secondly the bus had Adventure Tours written across not Ourbus which is what we were expecting Tips: Please recheck where you have to wait for your bus

Washington, DC is the capital of the United States, and as such, it offers many points of interest of governmental and historical value. DC is home to several iconic landmarks, including the White House where the U.S. president resides, the Capitol building that houses the meeting chambers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the National Mall, where you can stop by the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the World War II Memorial.
