Best known as the seat of the USA’s federal government, Washington, D.C. has in recent years come into its own as a cultural capital of the world. In addition to its stunning collection of museums and historical attractions, the city is host to a culinary explosion of new restaurants, world-class breweries, buzzing music venues, and a whole lot you won’t want to miss out on. With your premium rental to get around, you won’t have to.

As a history and art buff, this city can occupy your mind for a lifetime. Take in the wide variety offered by the Smithsonian’s 17 different art, museum, zoo, and research institutions, explore the exhibits at the National Gallery of Art, and gaze at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial on the 146-acre National Mall.

Washington D.C. has of late blossomed into a world-class dining and nightlife destination thanks to nationally-renowned chefs like Wolfgang Puck and his Pennsylvania Ave hotspot The Source. After dinner, use your Silvercar’s free WiFi to look up some of the celebrated breweries or cocktail bars the city is home to (we recommend barmini by Jose Andrés).

There’s plenty to do in D.C. for lovers of the outdoors, too. Use your Audi rental’s free GPS to find your way out to George Washington’s Mount Vernon for a day trip. On the way back, stop by one of the foremost garden landscapes in the world at the US Botanic Gardens. And don’t fret over D.C.’s traffic- fair toll tracking means you don’t have to worry about paying extra fares.

If you’re looking to get out of the city crush, the quaint Chesapeake Bay-side city of Annapolis is just an hour’s drive east, and in your silver Audi the cruise will go by in the blink of an eye. Silvercar’s up-front pricing means no mileage limits or restrictions to the D.C. area.
