Sightseeing
Our nation's capital offers a host of
educational, cultural, and sightseeing opportunities. We recommend
that you contact the Washington,
DC Convention and Visitors Association (WCVA) (202-789-7000)
to inquire about specific events or to obtain free copies of maps,
a quarterly events calendar for the city, or general visitor information.
 Other
points of interest can be contacted directly by calling the phone
numbers listed below. Although many of the sights in Washington
do not require advance arrangements, special V.I.P. tours arranged
by your member of Congress (tours of the White House, the Capitol,
etc.) need substantial advance notice. When in doubt, it is always
good to call ahead.
