Located north of Washington DC’s Centralized Business District, Dupont Circle is known as a historic location in the heart of the district. Improvements to the land during the 1870s created Dupont Circle into a fashionable neighborhood for residents and visitors alike. With plenty of shops, restaurants and activities to fill the day and night, Dupont Circle is a premier location. Toward the beginning of the famous Embassy Row, Dupont Circle is within walking distance of the Indonesian, Indian and Greek Embassies. The Dupont Circle Metro Station has access to the red line. Among the attractions is The Phillips Collection, America’s first museum of modern art. On the southern edge of Dupont Circle, the National Geographic Museum offers great sights for visitors of all ages.
