Georgetown is a historic district along the Potomac River, known for its cobblestone streets and Federal-style architecture that dates back to the 18th century. It was the first chartered town in the District of Columbia and retains a distinct charm, visible in its boutique shops, cafes, and the picturesque waterfront. Visiting Georgetown is best done on foot, allowing time to explore landmarks like the old C&O Canal, which offers a scenic path, and the historic Georgetown University campus. The area is also close to the lively M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, where dining options abound, though weekends can get crowded.
