The Best Way to See Washington D.C in a Single Day

When planning a trip to America, there are many hot ticket items at the top of your list: New York, L.A, Las Vegas. So you eventually decide to book a flight to New York and now you have 7 days to tour the country. You decide you’d like to see the Capital of America, but how do you ensure that you see as much as possible in the short time you have available? The solution lies in Empire Vacations’ Washington D.C. tour.

The Washington D.C. tour is one of their most packed tours available. It begins its tour with a journey to Arlington National Cemetery where you can pay your respects to some of America’s greatest heroes including former president John F. Kennedy and his family. 


Afterwards, you and your group will journey to the heart of American Politics: Capitol Hill. Once you arrive, you will be able to see and learn about key aspects of the U.S. Government Machine such as the Senate building, the Capitol, and the main seat of power: The White House.


After we’ve seen the core of America, the tour will take you to see a place that the U.S. takes great pride in: The National Air and Space Museum. Here, you will be able to join the politics you have learned with the scientific breakthroughs that pushed humanity forward through massive technological achievements.


The day will then be wrapped up by honoring the history of America’s heroes and the sacrifices they’ve made for our global society. Your group will stop at several Memorials such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial. 

Lastly, your action packed day will be concluded with a panoramic bus ride through the city to take one last overview before your next destination. Allowing you to absorb and reflect on all the information you gained in your one day journey through America’s Capital.

But that’s not all, if you’re looking for an extended tour that can go more in depth about the attractions, or you’d like a quieter site with less crowded areas, then consider an overnight tour. Thanks to less traveling delays and traffic, these tours offer more stops such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, MLK Memorial, and the Cherry Blossom Fields. These extra stops give you an even more in depth showing of D.C. for those who wish to delve deeper into America and her culture.

Empire Vacations maintains a realistic outlook on overseas travel; they are aware that statistically, another trip to America would likely not occur for ten or twenty years for an adventurer. That's why they want to provide as many optimized adventures to as many storied cities as possible. Keeping a close eye on the perfect blend so that stops are both frequent and meaningful is the main goal as they ensure you are thoroughly pleased with your vacation. 

Written to an international audience I’m not sure how well this translates, its correct, but the wording seems higher level than the average international reader, much less the middle class traveler.

So, the next time you decide to visit America, why not take a day trip to the Country’s Capital? As always, your tour will be in a language you can understand, with each second optimized so that you can enjoy as much as possible, all within a day so that you can continue your grand adventure through the Great Country of America.
