From Washington, DC’s iconic landmarks to Virginia’s cherished vineyards and Maryland’s beautiful Chesapeake Bay, the Capital Region is a captivating mix of history, culture and grand scenic splendour.
The Capital Region covers DC, Maryland and Virginia, each one distinct, yet shaped by shared history and national significance.
Washington DC’s major landmarks—the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument—are walkable and grounded in enduring political symbolism.
Away from the monuments, head to Georgetown for canal-side shops, or to The Wharf for DC’s waterfront hotels and fine-dining restaurants.
Baltimore’s redeveloped harbour in Maryland is a good base. Follow the coastline to quieter regions like Chesapeake Bay known for its blue crab and wide, tidal views.
A stay in Virginia means trips to the wooded slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the national park at Shenandoah, historic Arlington, Mount Vernon and the long coast at Virginia Beach.
A journey through the Capital Region reveals a world of power, history and refinement. Washington, DC is a city of icons, from the neoclassical grandeur of the White House and US Capitol to the soaring Washington Monument and reflective Lincoln Memorial. Beyond its political prestige, the city exudes elegance – Georgetown’s leafy streets offer designer boutiques and fine dining, while The Wharf’s waterfront hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants provide a luxurious retreat.
Maryland’s coastal charm is irresistible. Baltimore’s revitalised Inner Harbor brims with culture, while Chesapeake Bay’s serene waters set the scene for private yacht charters. In Annapolis, colonial mansions and seafood restaurants serve famed Maryland blue crab, making it a gourmet haven for discerning travellers.
