In addition to the endless opportunities to wine and dine, this city is never lacking in its offering of arts and entertainment. For those on the cutting edge of the art scene, the Seventh Street arts district downtown is certainly a departure from the city's more conservative roots. Washington has a strong theater scene at big-name venues like the Kennedy Center, the National, the Warner and Ford's theaters, but also in smaller, less-expensive locations throughout the city. For the sports enthusiast, professional soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball and football teams should wet your whistle. And if you like to spend your free time relaxing and enjoying the pleasures of nature, the Potomac River's Great Falls are spectacular and there are countless sites along the river that offer biking and hiking trails, boat and bicycle rentals. Rock Creek Park offers picnic space, walking trails and horseback riding. (Of course, you won't be able to miss - not that you would ever want to - the spring blooming of the city's famed cherry blossom trees!) To avoid the legendary D.C. traffic, public transportation is inexpensive and comprehensive within the city and inner suburbs. This includes the city's Metro subway system, which is safe, efficient and clean. For more information on life in Metro Washington, D.C., go to:
