Things To Do In Washington, D.C.

As a Washington Center intern, you'll have ample opportunities explore one of the world's liveliest and most engaging cities. In groups organized by the student services staff, on your own, or with fellow interns, you'll be able to enjoy Washington's countless attractions.

Washington offers a world of scenic and architectural beauty and cultural activities throughout the year. World-famous monuments provide a striking backdrop to cherry blossoms in the spring, concerts on the National Mall during the summer, and the festive lighting of the national tree in the winter. You'll find flower-filled green spaces, like Rock Creek Park, throughout the city.

Washington's museums are among the finest and most visited in the world. They range from the Smithsonian museums--the National Air and Space Museum, National Gallery of Art, American History Museum, Museum of African Art and others (all free!)--to the Corcoran and Phillips galleries, Holocaust Museum and the new Spy Museum. World-class performances of theatre, music and dance are available year-round at the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, and numerous other venues. You can use your student discounts at the Kennedy Center, and enjoy free concerts on the Mall.
