Washington D.C. and Lancaster

Washington is much more than an administrative capital; it offers a multitude of top-tier activities for culture lovers. The city is world-renowned for its Cherry Blossom Festival, its often free access to an impressive collection of educational and historical museums, and its grand commemorative monuments. Washington surprises visitors with its vast green spaces, neoclassical architecture, and absence of skyscrapers. As you stroll along its elegant avenues, you can catch glimpses of the White House, the residence of the president; the Capitol, home to the U.S. Senate and Congress; and the National Mall, which has been the stage for countless famous speeches. Washington, therefore, has nothing to envy from other major American cities.

A little less than 200 km from the American capital, the colorful countryside of Lancaster County invites visitors to explore the fascinating world of the Amish people, who have inhabited the region for more than three centuries.
