Washington Dulles Airport car rental - Travel Guide |

Washington, D.C., or the District of Columbia (the city and the district are coterminous), is the capital of the United States of America. It is a planned city; designed specifically to house the federal government is not part of any state. Its history, beautiful architecture excellent cultural centers attract millions each year. It is bordered by the states of Virginia and Maryland.
Understand
Washington, D.C. was established in 1791 by an act of the infant United States Congress. To avoid a dispute between the various states and regions about which city should be the capital of the new nation, Congress established a brand new city, outside any existing state. The District of Columbia was carved out of Virginia and Maryland the new city was built. Designed by architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant according to Enlightenment-era rationalist philosophy, Washington (named after the country's first president) was envisioned as a kind of Socratic wildlife refuge for America's new philosopher-kings.
Fast-forward two hundred years you'll see that the Founding Fathers' vision has been partially fulfilled. Washington, D.C. is a city of transients from across the nation who come to serve as employees of the many federal government departments here... or even as legislators, executives judges themselves. As home to federal decision-makers, the city gets bombarded with advertisements not found elsewhere, such as ads for military hardware from large defense contractors vying for brain share among Pentagon employees. It is a very young city, with a huge percentage of the population under 30. Relatively few residents have lived here all their lives. Most recent census figures report that about 50% of the population has moved house in the past 5 years.
Meanwhile, Washington's non-transient population is primarily African-American, many of them living on low incomes. This has caused occasional tensions, as the theoretical ideals of a temporary governing population conflict with the needs of a real-world metropolis' permanent residents. As Washington doesn't belong to a state, its municipal government is required to provide all the services that would normally be provided by state governments. It is also subject to overrule by the U.S. Congress, a body in which its residents have no voting representation (a right limited to the 50 states). Hence, the slogan found on many D.C. license plates, "Taxation without Representation". D.C. originally proposed "No Taxation without Representation" (a rallying cry of the country's war for independence) but the federal government changed it, citing that the word "No" was too negative.
Get in
By plane
Washington, D.C. is served by three major airports.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), on the west bank of the Potomac River just south of the city, is the closest and most convenient. Walkways connect the concourse level of the B and C terminals to the Washington Metro rail platform; the walk from the A terminal to the metro takes 5 to 10 minutes. To get downtown (10 minutes), take the Yellow Line toward Mt Vernon Square/UDC. For West End destinations, take the Blue Line toward Largo Town Center.
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is located at Dulles (pronounced Dull-ess), Virginia, 26 miles west of downtown DC. To get into the city, the most convenient option may be the Washington Flyer coach, which operates every half hour to and from the West Falls Church Metro (Orange Line).
