...Washington DC is the nations capital of the US and it is strategically located in between the states of Maryland and Virginia to form what is called the Washington DC Metropolitan area.You could get into the general area through either Dulles international Airport or the Reagan National Airport.The Reagan National airport is closer to the city and you could catch the metro train to take you downtown.As a matter of fact getting around the whole Washington DC metropolitan area is easy with the train service.If you want nightlife there are so many places.Just head down towards the Georgetown area and there will be many nightclubs and bars that you could go to especially during the weekends.If you want some site seeing head towards the Washington Mall(great site),the white house and the capital hill building is just aroud the corner...
