Washington DC, a tour through history

 Washington DC

CITY RATING- 8

 

My final destination I visited before returning to New York to fly home was Washington DC. We opted to get the bus for this journey from Miami to Washington which took us 16 hours but only cost 40 dollars instead of paying the 140 dollars for the flight.

Accommodation

 

CitizenM was the hotel of choice for my trip to Washington DC, at this point the travel group was cut down to just me and one other boy as people had already left to fly home so this made it easier to find a place to stay for the 2 nights. The hotel itself was well situated as we found ourselves a 20-minute walk from the Capitol building as well as a 10-minute walk from a food hall which had all the best restaurants including my personal favourite, raising canes. The 2 nights staying there set us back 50 dollars each which was reasonable for the facilities offered in the hotel along with its great positioning

 

Activities

 

I had always heard that Washington DC was a city with loads to see but words cannot even describe the rich history that lines the streets of this amazing city. I’m usually not one for historical sightseeing but I was truly taken aback by the astonishing monuments that DC has to offer such as the MLK statue, the white house, the Washington monument, the capitol as well as the Abraham Lincoln statue and much, much more.
