Overview
Did you know that much of America's power is concentrated in just a few streets? In this Free Tour of Washington D. C. - The Federal Triangle we will visit the real administrative heart of the country, an area where decisions are made that influence the global level.
We will start in Lafayette Square, next to the White House, to introduce us to the historical and political context of the capital. Throughout the tour, we will explore some of the most important buildings of the federal government, such as the Treasury Department, the FBI, the National Archives or the Department of Commerce, discovering not only their function, but also the stories, curiosities and key moments that have marked their past.
We will walk through monumental avenues and squares full of symbolism, understanding how this district was designed and why it became the nerve center of the U.S. administration.
We will end with a complete vision of how this "federal triangle" articulates power in Washington D. C., in an essential tour to understand the city beyond its monuments and get into its true political essence.
