Washington DC is the capital of the United States and comprises the so-called District of Columbia (abbreviated as "DC"), a different entity of 50 states that make up this nation. Washington DC is more than a city but less than a state. It is a "district" created by the Congress of the United States in 1790 as a meeting place and for transactions for government affairs.
Today Washington is the center of cultural life and U.S. politics. All American history is etched in the streets of this teeming city of monuments and memorials; but Washington is a city that looks to the future: it is a world capital with modern shopping centers, restaurants and countless things to do. This beautiful city has elegant buildings, wide open spaces, parks full of trees and many natural areas within the city.
The street system of the city is easy to understand but difficult to manage. The streets from north - south are numbered, and the east-west direction have letters, starting with the Capitol and extending in both directions. There may be two streets called the 3rd. (A Capitol east and west), and there may be two streets called "D" (one north of the Capitol and one south). Thus, the city is divided into quadrants. To find an address, you should specify the quadrant. There are a number of broad avenues leaving the Capitol in the form of spokes of a wheel. They create some complicated angular intersections that can confuse even the most experienced driver.
To move within the city of Washington DC, the Metro will be your ideal mode of transportation as it reaches everywhere in the city. However, there is also a network of buses running between neighbouring towns and subway entrances. In any case, the public transport operates from 5:30 am to midnight, and rates vary depending on the destination and time of day.
