- Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. Washington is the principal city of the Washington metropolitan area, which has a population of 6,131,977. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. Washington is one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million annual tourists.
The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the Human Rights Campaign, the International Finance Corporation, and the American Red Cross.

The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. and has been the residence of every U.S. President since John Adams in 1800. The term, "White House", is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers.
The modern-day White House complex includes the Executive Residence, West Wing, East Wing, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building-the former State Department, which now houses offices for the President's staff and the Vice President-and Blair House, a guest residence. The Executive Residence is made up of six stories-the Ground Floor, State Floor, Second Floor, and Third Floor, as well as a two-story basement. The property is a National Heritage Site owned by the National Park Service and is part of the President's Park. In 2007, it was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture".

The United States Capitol, often called the Capitol Building, is the home of the United States Congress, and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located on Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Though no longer at the geographic center of the Federal District, the Capitol forms the origin point for the District's street-numbering system and the District's four quadrants.
The original building was completed in 1800 and was subsequently expanded, particularly with the addition of the massive dome, and expanded chambers for the bicameral legislature, the House of Representatives in the south wing and the Senate in the north wing. Like the principal buildings of the executive and judicial branches, the Capitol is built in a distinctive neoclassical style and has a white exterior. Both its east and west elevations are formally referred to as fronts, though only the east front was intended for the reception of visitors and dignitaries.

The National Mall is a landscaped park within the National Mall and Memorial Parks, an official unit of the United States National Park System. It is located near the downtown area of Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, and is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) of the United States Department of the Interior.
The National Mall contains and borders a number of museums of the Smithsonian Institution, art galleries, cultural institutions, and various memorials, sculptures, and statues. The park receives approximately 24 million visitors each year.

Pennsylvania Avenue is a diagonal street in Washington, D.C. that connects the White House and the United States Capitol. Called "America's Main Street", it is the location of official parades and processions, as well as protest marches. Moreover, Pennsylvania Avenue is an important commuter road and is part of the National Highway System.
en.wikipedia.o...
Independence Avenue is a major east-west street in the city of Washington, D.C., in the United States, and is lined with museums and federal office buildings.
en.wikipedia.o...)
Freedom Plaza, originally known as Western Plaza, is an open plaza in Northwest Washington, D.C., United States, located at the corner of 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, adjacent to Pershing Park. The John A. Wilson Building, the seat of the District of Columbia government, faces the plaza, as does the historic National Theatre, which has been visited by every U.S. President since it opened in 1835. Three large hotels are to the north and west.

Ok
I read that you are in Europe soon? Then you should also go through Vienna sometime! A lot of cultural buildings and no toll! By the way, a great video, thanks!
Correct! I will have extra days to film outside of London and Paris. I think :) Thanks for the suggestion and let me know if you have more!
I'm really looking forward to your London and Paris videos. Will you drive there, or go by bus (or similar) or walk? If driving, then be warned against partially aggressive and dense traffic :)
Washington city is very beautiful thanks to this video
I loved your video. I was a student at GWU in the early 70's and this brought back many memories, although vastly changed of course.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Washington d.c. just a beautiful city...enjoy riding the metro bus and train...spending time with my friends and co workers...my second home...erica bermudo...washington post 2007
You have the best driving/street videos for viewing.
Do you use a GoPro? What camera is it and where do you mount it? Inside windshield or outside on vehicle?
Ok, Guess it’s a closely guarded secret 😉
@@riderdish He will never reveal it.
Beautiful l aleays liked DC, l’ll go back this summer. Do you choose filming on xloudy days on purpose? Everything looks so much more amazing when the sun is out
So beautiful GOD bless America
There is no skyscapers its amazing to see, New york is amazing for that and this town doesnt have any so crazy and its capital city
I'm from there and I'm sorry to tell you that's not true. DC is a Baby NY.lol
Skyscraper are prohibited in Washington DC, They are restricted due to security
@@oscarvega7534 why snipers?
@@navyseal1689 yep
@@oscarvega7534 This is a common urban legend. Height restrictions were imposed in 1910 because neighbors of the Cairo Apartments, in NW, had a fit it was so huge. Height is determined by the width of the street to a max of 130 feet, less if zoning has other restrictions.
Thanks.
What a beautiful city 😍
Good I like this town
Awesome Video thank you.
Nice city....
Big city, I'like
Like this state 🙈💞💗
It was deliberately formed as a non-state territory

Oh maybe because of this Indonesia wants to move its capital city so it doesn't mix with skyscrapers, the government center is separate from the business center.
J Utah give some Sweden Norway downtown too
Do you guys like my city? :o
I live here
Странно что в городе пробки нету
How's that weird
Idk why I’m watching this. I drive through these streets everyday lol
DZwzrd hey i’m thinking about accepting a job in dc. but i’m kind of a nervous driver and all the apts downtown are way too expensive. do you think i’ll be okay driving?
Nigga :v
K same 😂
And I'm from there. Very calming.
K. Elizabeth Cross let me tell you something, you’ll be nervous but you’ll get used to it, once you learn how to drive and park in dc then you and drive and park anywhere in the world! DC is absolutely amazing too, I go there almost every weekend
Looks like an European city: no skyscrapers at all!
I agree! :)
marco brenni the master plan for the city was laid out by Pierre Charles L'Enfant a French American
This applies to a video I just watched! ua-cam.com/video/aQSxPzafO_k/v-deo.html
Interesting that the Paris population density is twice as high as New York City. Even with the (what Im guessing are) height restrictions? Anyway. Ill be filming in Paris soon. Looking forward to sharing with the channel!
+ Cameron: ah OK, voilà! There is some French style in buildings, wide spaces and squares. Thanks for information!
+ J Utah: Thanks for your precious footages and the link above. I agree with the documentary. The low density in American metropolis is caused by the skyscrapers who are nearly only commercial builings.
However it's to say that also in Europe we copied the "American Way of Life" : commuterism is widespread in nearly all big cities, as London, Paris, and so on. That's because of the huge costs for living downtown and the air pollution. Anyway also in Europe there is now a trend to return in the center of towns exactly for the same reasons as in the USA.
I think Washington DC is most beautiful and cleaned city than new york, pretty and wide road, Peaceful environment😍
My like washington dc,
From indonesian
Iya keren kotanya 😍
Beautiful city! Congratulations, Americans, for having a beautiful city as a capital. A big hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you!! I actually live in DC. Brazil is a beautiful country too!
Not all is beautiful this video was record only in downtown ...I actually live in Dc
@@oscarmolina1391 every city cuts hard corners. u take the ugly with the beautiful and appreciate it
You didn’t even get into real dc
This is all the real D.C.
@@ibrahimatraore061 Real DC is everywhere in Washington D.C. The District of Columbia. Check it.
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 Yeah I live in DC
@@ibrahimatraore061 So why is this not the 'real' D.C.
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 he said that because its just downtown not all of dc looks like this the north is really the heart of the city
The most important thing in Washington DC is that there is no dirt on the road there
Where are u from? What do u mean dirt on the road
I will live in USA. USA is my dream country.
Anil Sodha awesome! Good luck on everything!
Đi ngủ đi mày, để mà mơ!
Me too, bro ;)
Your welcomed here
I hope you come!
Reminds London a bit but with large widescreen roads
Ikr
Really!? I'm from DC... Never looked at that way. Interesting...
Well George Washington was from England right?
London wide roads??? I live here now and I haven’t seen any wide roads in England at all.
@@etbn1080 U didn't get me. I wasn't saying about wide roads at all. I said "BUT with large wide roads"
Pasha Defragzor damn ur still checking back on the comment 😂
Thanks for uploading! I love your videos!
I'm glad you enjoy them and thank you for letting me know ! :)
cloudly?
USA is gr8 tho. Proud to be an American!🇺🇸🇺🇸
#Trump2020
So y u named Australia
@@americanpatriot6496 #fucktrump
Number one warmonger and torturing innocent civilians to death in camps is what youre proud of ?
There is so much more good Trump can do for our country. The nation will survive as free market capitalist country and supporters of the US won't allow it to become a global socialist society. Dems have mainly tried standing in the way and offered many so called free socialist programs that would cost the American Worker. My suggestion is vote all Red and we will be successful in making America Greater.
There’s something I like aesthetically, especially the nostalgia of getting on a metro, using dollar coins, staying at Hilton hotels, the monuments
There's more to the city...you didn't go far at all...
Lmaoo
Not at all
Facts he didn’t go north toward U street
Washington DC is a Beautiful city. When you look at it as a metropolitan area it is even more fascinating! Very big sprawling area that is built up all over including Baltimore. You could tour this area all day with great scenery. 3rd largest metropolitan area in America and number 12 in the world.
How lucky are people like you who live in countries like this,, You guys are so lucky bro If you want to live, you have to live in countries like this, lucky people,,
So inviting. An inspiration for many up and coming cities to emulate. Just tells me you don't need monstrous skyscrapers to make a city look this good. Thanks.
That's what makes Washington DC ans Europeans cities so beautiful, the low consistent height limit of around 6 stories. It makes cities really look really beautiful.
a kids who were born in USA, you are so lucky 🙂

Love this!!
My brother in law works in DC, so this was pretty cool! Also, that freeway system you were on there for a while reminds me so much of the parkways on Long Island lol.

Fun fact Washington DC is not a US state
And it should stay that way
But is capital of usa
@@carljohnson9057 I could be wrong about this?, so don't quote me. but the reason its not considered a "state" is because each state has its own governor, and each governor picks a political party to rally behind. So in order to keep the capital political unbiased its not a state.
Again I could be wrong or a little off.
Please add the names of landmarks, historic or important buildings, places, etc. while you are driving so that we know them while we are watching the journey.
What a difference a year makes.
Unfortunate to see it now😣
Ездил по кругу. А в Вашингтоне много красивых мест. Снимите весь город, пожалуйста.

Só lugares top....parabéns por nos proporcionar essas belas imagens..👏🏽👏🏽
15:55 U missed the Virginia Exit
Damn that road is amazing!
Any Indian from Washington DC
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen."

wideness of the streets kind of ruins the visual appeal of the city for me....but i'm sure it's better than bumper to bumper traffic.
dc has the worst and traffic in the US
You really have to experience the city in its entirety. Each neighborhood changes drastically even the grid. Some parts of the city has the more northeast city style streets and the blocks are more narrow and lined with commercial space on both sides or they're lined with row houses. But those streets usually don't go for miles and miles like a new York but they do exists in DC. Lastly the traffic gets really bad some of the worst you'll find in the nation.
You have the best video I like Washington DC 😃🇺🇸
5 days till I go
Edit: move*
Edit 2: I’m on the second day of driving!
The dedication unreal
its the park of the World. not like other cities. noise, pollution. Hell. It is a heaven on earth.
This city is very good
A very popular tourist destination!
22:51 running through a "don't walk" sign
i drive uber in DC and jaywalking is a HUGE problem here. When i see people jaywalking i don't stop or slow down. not because i want to hit them but to stand my ground and to prevent them from doing it in the future. pedestrians in DC are real fucking morons.
You should drive through Phoenix! I love the desert landscape.
Yes you are right
Hii nolan I want come DC but how tell me pls
@@ruchikabhargava8034 hiii ruchika I love you .....from India
