Dupont Circle

Come to Dupont Circle to see the upscale, trendy neighborhood that is home to young professionals, academics and artists. Chic shops, boutiques, delightful restaurants, and fabulous architecture are also why Dupont Circle is a popular place to linger. Turn-of-the-century mansions and quaint brownstones that were once home to the most wealthy and prominent are now home to galleries, museums, bookstores and even foreign embassies. When you visit, take a moment to relax by the fountain in the center of the circle; it’s a favorite gathering spot for locals and travelers as well.
