Washington DC may provide a more affordable Christmas outing

Washington DC may prove festive

New York may prove expensive, so tourists could consider Washington DC.

Tourists who love jetting off to the big city with a view to stocking up on presents and festive cheer could do well to skip New York this year and head to Washington DC instead.

That is if comments from a spokeswoman for Captial Region USA are anything to go by, as she stated that the home of the White House is not only more affordable, but offers plenty to see and do as well.

In fact, couples might want to sample the atmosphere at the National Christmas Tree lighting event, as the official claims it "has to be one of the most romantic things to do".

And what Christmas holiday would be complete without shopping? So hitting the stores for some retail therapy could prove fruitful, particularly as prices are lower than some more renowned destinations and there are plenty of bargains to be had.

What's more, entrance to many of the tourist attractions such as memorials and Smithsonian museums is free, "leaving more money for presents", the spokeswoman remarked.

Once all the gifts are safely stored away, it might be a good idea to hit the town, particularly as the expert claims Washington DC boasts a bustling nightlife and a plethora of places to eat.

Single trip insurance policyholders may want to try the restaurants, microbreweries and ethnic cuisine outlets, as well as the clubs and pubs that line the streets.

A comfortable bed must surely be on the agenda after fitting in all that activity, so visitors could do well to make early reservations as research from Hotelbook.com stated that demand has increased for rooms in the city.
