Georgetown is a lot of things to a lot of people. Cobblestone streets and cupcake tours. Waterfront picnics and political watering holes. Canal history and charming boutiques. Founded in 1751, 40 years before the nation’s capital, DC’s original neighborhood has a storied history—but half the fun is writing your own. Today this National Historic District is where the past meets the present, with more than 470 shops, restaurants and institutions set against the backdrop of Georgetown’s unique architecture and quaint streets.

M Street / Wisconsin Avenue
M Street is recognized as one of the best shopping streets in the country. It frequently serves as the starting point for many visitors, connecting the neighborhood to Foggy Bottom and Downtown DC to the east and Virginia via Key Bridge to the west. The intersection of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue is the heart of Georgetown, with boutique-lined streets extending in all four directions. Head up Wisconsin Avenue for some of the city’s most unique small businesses, or down below M Street to the Georgetown Waterfront.
Book Hill
Small, independent boutiques, antiques and art galleries, and restaurants make up the charming area known as Book Hill, located along Wisconsin Avenue from O St to Reservoir Road. From Book Hill Park you can take in a panoramic view of Georgetown, the Potomac River, and Virginia beyond.

Canal & Waterfront District
South of M Street are two bodies of water, the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. Between them are nooks and crannies to explore. Along side streets including Grace Street and Thomas Jefferson, you’ll find some of the best bakeries, coffee and tacos in town, as well as recreational opportunities, architectural gems, and remnants of the neighborhood’s industrial history. Don’t miss Georgetown Waterfront Park for views of the river, and Washington Harbour, which boasts 10 restaurants and eateries and, in the winter, the area’s largest outdoor ice skating rink.
Georgetown Design District
Georgetown is home to 30+ design showrooms and stores, from contemporary to traditional home furnishings and décor. Cady’s Alley anchors the Georgetown Design District, with more than 20 home furnishings showrooms, fashion and specialty boutiques nestled in a cluster of historic industrial buildings.

Film
It’s Hollywood on the Potomac in Georgetown, a popular filming location for movies including The Exorcist, St. Elmo’s Fire, Wedding Crashers, and Minority Report. Film buffs needn’t leave Georgetown disappointed if there’s no camera in sight; take a self-guided film sites tour, or catch the newest releases at the AMC Loews Georgetown. Just keep your eyes peeled: Georgetown is a frequent hang-out for celebrities visiting DC.
Entertainment
Home to the internationally recognized Blues Alley—the oldest, continuously operated jazz supper club in America—Georgetown also caters to music lovers of every persuasion, with a noteworthy piano bar and nightly folk, rock and jam bands at the friendly Gypsy Sally’s. If comedy is more music to your ears, Chinese Disco hosts free open mic stand-up shows every Friday night. If you’re looking for a post-dinner drink, sip classic cocktails at Bar à Vin and in the “Proposal Booth” at Martin’s Tavern (where JFK proposed to Jackie), or sample the beer selection at Pizzeria Paradiso’s Birreria and The Sovereign. For people-watching, head to Café Milano, Bourbon Steak or Fiola Mare, or The Graham and Rosewood hotels for rooftop relaxation.

Georgetown French Market
Calling all Mesdames et Messieurs! Every April, the ever-popular Georgetown French Market brings over 7,500 attendees to the charming Book Hill neighborhood of Georgetown as it’s transformed into a Parisian-inspired open-air market. More than 35 locally-owned boutiques, cafes, salons and galleries set up tables along Wisconsin Avenue from O Street to Reservoir Road with clothing, jewelry, art, home furnishings and more, up to 75% off. Live music, French fare, face painting, whimsical street performers and more round out this popular annual event.

Taste of Georgetown
Eat, drink and play at the Taste of Georgetown, an annual celebration of food, wine, and music that has been one of Washington, DC’s premier neighborhood events for more than 20 years. There’s only one opportunity each year to taste your way through Georgetown in a single afternoon, with more than 60 signature dishes from over 30 of Georgetown’s restaurants, in addition to wine and craft beer pairings, music and family-friendly activities. For more details, visit: www.tasteofgeorgetown.com
Sunset on the Waterfront
Georgetown Waterfront Park beckons on a summer night, just as the sun’s going down, with a view of the Kennedy Center to the left and Key Bridge to the right. Few places are more Instagram-worthy, or more perfectly suited for a community event. Georgetown Sunset Fitness in the Park is a free series of outdoor fitness classes, running June-August. Looking for less exercising and more relaxing? Grab a picnic and a blanket and head to Georgetown Sunset Cinema, a free movie series in July and August.
Holiday Happenings & Georgetown GLOW
Magical is the only way to describe Georgetown during the holiday season. Festive roof lighting lines the streets, wreaths adorn every lamp post, and small businesses compete in a neighborhood window decorating contest. Throughout December, visitors can also experience the sparkle of the season at Georgetown GLOW, the region’s only curated exhibition of outdoor public light art installations. Set against the historic backdrop of DC’s oldest neighborhood, it’s a whole new way to shine. Established in 2014, the innovative exhibition has quickly become one of the city’s most anticipated holiday spectacles. For more details, visit www.georgetownglowdc.com GEORGETOWNDC.COM

For every cupcake in Georgetown, there’s an opportunity to walk, jog or bike it off along some of the region’s best trails. The C&O Canal Towpath and Capital Crescent Trails are popular for those heading west, and Rock Creek Park Trail travels north from the waterfront. Water enthusiasts can take to the Potomac River—a paddler’s paradise for kayaking, canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding. The neighborhood is also home to over 20 fitness-related businesses, including athletic stores, yoga studios, and boathouses along the Potomac River. For the perfect combination of film and fitness, run up all 75 of the infamous Exorcist steps at 3600 Prospect St NW.

Picnic in the Park
Georgetown’s commercial district is home to four national parks that comprise 11 acres of parkland. Pack a lunch and set up a picnic in one of the many neighborhood parks, including Georgetown Waterfront Park, with its 10 acres of green space along the Potomac River. Other prime picnic and recreation spots include Montrose Park, Old Stone House’s courtyard, and Volta Park.
Waterfront F un
All year round, Georgetown’s picturesque waterfront is a center of neighborhood entertainment. Kids love running through the fountain at Georgetown Waterfront Park, and The Washington Harbour offers a calendar of events for people of all ages, including live music, a synchronized water fountain show, and an ice skating rink in the winter.
