Approximately 20.9 million domestic and 1.5 million international travelers visited the Washington, D.C. area in 1997, up 8% from 1996.

A brand-new introduction leads off this comprehensive guide. Several new thematic boxes shed light on fascinating topics including DC design, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee. There is more coverage of the surrounding MD and VA suburbs, including Bethesda, College Park, and Alexandria, plus valuable hints for visiting with kids and great kid-friendly attractions and restaurants.

The edition features a distinctive new gold cover with a hard-hitting subtitle that effectively sells the guide's unique features, plus a bold new spine that highlights the Rand McNally map inside, and lively backcover copy that creates excitement about the destination and establishes Fodor's as the brand leader.
