      DC Itinerary: 3 Days in the Nation's Capital

      Day 1

      Morning

      The National Mall , home to many of the museums of the Smithsonian Institution , is a great place to start your day. See the magnificent jewels, dinosaurs and mammals on display at the National Museum of Natural History ; the airplanes and interactive flight simulators at the National Air and Space Museum ; and the stories, arts and crafts at the National Museum of the American Indian. And it's all free of charge. The museums also offer free tours to groups who reserve in advance. The restaurant in the Museum of the American Indian is outstanding.

      Afternoon

      The National Mall is home to a host of other museums, including the National Gallery of Art , where the U.S.'s only Leonardo Da Vinci painting hangs, while the National Archives, which houses the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence, is a must for any American history buff.

      Evening

      Start your evening with dinner at Union Station, where there are a number of sit-down and quick-service restaurants to sample. Plus,  the glorious beaux-arts train station is the departure point for tours of the monuments at moonlight offered by Old Town Trolley.

      For something a bit quirkier, Bike and Roll, Bike the Big Capital and City Segway Tours (for ages 16 & up) also offer evening tours in season departing from other points in the city. Even if you've made the rounds at all the monuments and memorials by day, there's something extra-special and magical about a nighttime tour.

      Old Town Trolley: 50 Massachusetts Avenue NW

      Bike and Roll : 955 L'Enfant Plaza, North Building SW, Suite 905

      Bike the Big Capital: 220 20th St., Ste. A, Arlington, VA

      City Segway Tours: 502 23rd St. NW

      Day 2

      Morning

      Head to the Arts District/U Street/Shaw neighborhood for breakfast at a DC institution, Ben's Chili Bowl. Or, if you're visiting on a weekend, visit the colorful farmer's markets at Dupont Circle or Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. The blueberry buckwheat pancakes at Eastern Market are a local favorite.

      After breakfast, tour the Capitol Hill neighborhood and explore the U.S. Capitol , Library of Congress and Supreme Court . The neighborhood is also home to the Folger Shakespeare Library , which houses the largest collection of Shakespeare memorabilia outside of England.

      For lunch, take Metro to the Downtown/Penn Quarter/Chinatown neighborhood, where you'll find an array of options on 7th Street, near the Verizon Center. Or feast on fresh noodles and flavorful soups in Chinatown. And don't forget to snap a photo of the
