The Best Place to Visit in DC

            After getting the tourist out of your system and when hosting visitors, it’s crucial that you offer your guests a unique experience of DC. After Googling “non-tourist” destinations for DC, I found some great recommendations. The destination, hands down, is Dumbarton Oaks. This botanical garden-like place was far and away the most breathtaking place in DC. It’s located close to Georgetown so there is not a tourist in site and there is even a Starbucks located a couple blocks away. Dumbarton Oaks is only open from 2-5 p.m. most days so do not plan on spending an entire day there. However, I do recommend spending at least a couple hours there to properly take in the very unique views. If you visit the Oaks you and your guests are sure to be astonished by the caliber of experience. It’s also quite surprising to find this original and little-known attraction tucked away in a very quaint neighborhood. Be sure to spend your time well in DC and visit Dumbarton Oaks.
