National Building Museum

The highlight of a trip here is the building itself, large, showy and beautiful. You can also learn about the symbolism of architecture in DC (washington monument anyone...?) if you can stop gawping long enough.

Washington National Cathedral

I don't know why I thought this would be hideous but it isn't, it's pretty majestic! I liked its gothic style and it's crazy that it was only finished in 1990, and yet it's made it onto the historic buldings register! Look out for the lunar rock and the Bishop's garden.

Embassy Row

It was just astonishing to see all the embassies on one gorgeous street, you really felt as if you were at the political centre of the world. I loved the different architectural styles as well as Gandhi.
