Weekend Getaways from Washington DC


Featured getaway: Williamsburg, Virginia


Williamsburg, Virginia
At Colonial Williamsburg visitors lend a hand as historic trade carpenters reconstruct eight outbuildings that comprise Randolph "urban plantation." Photo courtesy of Williamsburg Area CVB.
While history buffs from around the world have long made Williamsburg, with its many venerable sites, a much visited destination, the city boasts a range of attractions for visitors of all ages and interests. Relive the past at Colonial Williamsburg, the largest outdoor living history museum in the United States, with almost 500 public buildings, homes, stores and taverns meticulously restored to 18th-century glory. Ask a blacksmith, dressed in period costume, about his trade or learn good manners from a school-age George Washington. For thrills, head to Water Country USA or to Busch Gardens, renowned for award-winning roller coasters like the Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot. After a good dose of history and hair-raising rides, do some wine-tasting or pop into Shields Tavern for a pint and authentic 1700s fare, then settle in at a Colonial period inn or a modern hotel. A weekend in Williamsburg is sure to impress the whole family.

What to do in Williamsburg
Previous Featured Getaway: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
One of America's most historic cities, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend -- preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed; both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many local attractions honouring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. And after digesting all that history, make sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.  More info
