Potomac River
Washington DC, USA
The Potomac River is a 383-kilometre waterway that flows from the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, marking the border between Virginia and Maryland. At its banks, Washington DC showcases significant landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, with the river serving as a picturesque backdrop to the city’s historical narrative.
A stroll along the Tidal Basin, especially during the cherry blossom season in spring, is worthwhile for its serene views and iconic photo opportunities. The waterfront areas also provide access to boat rentals and river cruises, offering a different perspective on the city’s monuments and vibrant skyline.
