The Capitol
When the lights go down in DC, the beauty of the monuments and buildings are brought out when they are lit.
The Washington After Dark Tour is a great way to experience all of the historical DC sites while basked in the unique light of the moon. Each of the historical monuments in DC have their own unique spotlights, and even the Capitol Building has an amazing greenish glow about it. This tour meets and ends at Union Station and transportation is provided in a comfortable charter bus. If you're staying in one of the participating hotels, transportation to and from the tour is available to you. Otherwise, pay parking is available at Union Station. On the way to each historical monument and building, you'll have the opportunity to see several other illuminated areas including the Supreme Court, Offices Buildings of the House and Senate, the White House, Kennedy Center, The Reflecting Pool and more.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing for exploring each stop. You will also want to be sure you have your camera and video camera ready to capture each of these illuminated historical sites.
