Welcome to Capital

Even with Washington D.C. knocking on its door, there are many reasons to explore Maryland’s Capital Region! Stroll the National Harbor on the shores of the Potomac River for panoramic views of the United States’ capital city and its monuments. Be sure to visit Maryland’s second largest city, Frederick, for more than 200 specialty stores, jewelry shops and antique dealers in its revitalized downtown. The Art Walk in Bethesda is a once-a-month celebration of local galleries and studios and a fantastic way to explore your inner artist! Nearby Silver Spring is home to the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, a venue for the prestigious American Film Institute. With all this to do and more in Maryland’s Capital Region, who needs D.C.?
