Just what I needed for my friend who was going to live there for a while .

This 144-page book - the 15th (PRINT) edition of September 2017 - is a colourful and informative guide to the attractions of the capital city of the USA; for real visitors and armchair travellers alike. It has all the usual features, including excellent maps and articles. There are excellent colour photos breaking up the text columns, so you can see what you are looking for. It is a handy up-to-date guidebook, with all the usual topics a tourist guide provides, as well as chapters on the top ten sites, and is ideal for a short-stay family trip.Please note that this is a POCKET guide to the HIGHLIGHTS of the area, and not an in-depth study of everything to be found there. For that, you need a full-sized guide.The Contents include -P005: Washington’s Top 10 Highlights (US Capitol; The White House; National Air and Space Museum; National Museum of American History; National Gallery of Art; National Museum of Natural History; Washington National Cathedral; National Zoological Park; Arlington National Cemetery; Mount Vernon)P042: Top 10 of Everything (top 10 lists of all the other touristy things to see and do)P078: Washington DC Area by AreaP078: Around Capitol HillP084: The Mall & Federal TriangleP094: Penn QuarterP098: The White House & Foggy BottomP104: GeorgetownP110: Beyond the City CenterP118: Streetsmart (practical touristy information); including -P126: Places to StayP134: General IndexP144: Street Index
