Visit scenes of scandal and bars where lobbyists troll for politicians. Attend a concert at the Kennedy Center or hike the trails in Rock Creek Park. Find world-class museums and formidable architecture, grand promenades and shady alleys. Bring this handy City Map to find them all. <br>Highlights on the map include: <br>- Washington Monument - A fitting memorial to a man who would not be king and who would not serve more than two terms in the novel post of US president. <br>- Vietnam Veterans Memorial - The reflections of visitors in the black stone link them almost physically with the names on the wall itself. <br>- National Air & Space Museum - Celebrating over 100 years of flight, the immense glass box of this museum is a love letter to mankind's dreams of flight. <br>- Georgetown - Here you'll find the best shopping in the district, from clothes and jewelry to art and antiques. <br>- Lincoln Memorial - This temple to the man who saved the nation that he called 'the last best hope on Earth' is as plain and elegant as that man's words.<br>
