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 National Arboretum

Connu pour sa collection énorme des azalées (la fleur préféré de Washington), cet parque-jardin de 180 hectares propose beaucoup plus. Des fontaines, des piscines, et des espaces ouvertes sépare une série des jardins plus spécifiques au Arboretum National des États-Unis. La Collection National de Bonsaï, un cadeau du japon, est une expositions fascinante des arbres tout petits. Aussi à noter sont le jardin aquatique (rempli des lotus de toute variété) et le Jardin National des Herbes.

Washington National Cathedral

La Cathédrale nationale accueille souvent des mémoriaux d'importance nationaux, et elle est ouverte aux fidèles de toute confession. Elle a été en cours de construction pour la plupart du XXe siècle et a été terminée et consacrée en 1990; c'est la sixième plus grande cathédrale Gothique du monde. Des arcs-boutants, des gargouilles, des cryptes, un plafond voûté de 30 mètres et beaucoup de chapelles intimes créent ce chef d'œuvre architectural. Le terrain vous invite à explorer ses chemins courbés, ses haies bien entretenues, et ses pelouses spacieuses d'où vous pouvez voir la ville.

Arlington National Cemetery

La Cimetière National d'Arlington est la dernière demeure de de nombreuses personnes qui ont donné leurs vies afin de servir leur pays. Deux présidents - John F. Kennedy et William Howard Taft - y ont aussi enterrés. L'équipage de la navette spatiale Challenger, meneur des droits civique Medgar Evers, et star du cinéma Audie Murphy sont parmi ceux qu'on y honore. Le tombeau des Soldats Inconnus contient les restes des soldats non identifiés des Première et Seconde Guerres Mondiales et du Conflit Coréen. Il est surveillé 24 heures sur 24. La relève du garde est une cérémonie qui leur rend hommage. Arlington House, la maison de Robert E. Lee jusqu'au début de la guerre de Sécession, est située sur place. Des visiteurs peuvent se promener à travers la cimetière ou prendre un tramway du tourisme.

Kreeger Museum

Set among the fashionable Foxhall Road estates in upper northwest Washington, the former residence of Carmen and David Kreeger holds a marvelous collection of 19th and 20th-century art. Artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Kandinsky and Rodin are represented, among many other artists. A fine collection of African art is also housed here. The Kreeger Museum's grounds also feature a sculpture garden. However, the museum requires some advance planning to visit since reservations are required to join the docent-led tours, but the effort is well worth it.

Ford's Theatre

L'assassinat de Président Abraham Lincoln ici le 14 avril 1865 a éclipsé le théâtre pour la plupart de son histoire. Ford's s'est ouvert que quatre ans avant le soir fatidique. Restauré à son apparence de 1865, Ford's est encore un lieu de spectacle. Au sous-sol, un musée de Lincoln montre des objets de l'assassinat, y compris le fusil utilisé par John Wilkes Booth lorsqu'il a tué Lincoln. Des souvenirs de la vie de Lincoln y sont aussi étalés. Des garde forestiers du National Park Service donnent des exposés tous les heures. En face du théâtre est la Maison Petersen, où Lincoln est mort. Allez au site Internet pour le programme des spectacles.
