Georgetown is quite possibly the premiere district for history, commercial enterprises, culture, and entertainment in Washington, DC. It’s to the north of the city, and sits right along the beautiful Potomac River. It’s a neighborhood with the very best in local color, and features an exciting nightlife, a great shopping mall for major retail outlets, as well as a great historic district with beautiful small boutique shops, superb fine dining, and a history that stretches back to the founding of our nation. For these and many other reasons, Georgetown vacation rentals are perennially popular any time of the year.
Most of the major attractions in the area are historic. As a district in Washington, DC, it’s just a stone’s throw from the famous Smithsonian Museum. The Georgetown University Campus features Healy Hall, an 1879 historic building. Tudor Place, Dumbarton Court, and the Volta Laboratory and Bureau of Alexander Graham Bell are all popular historic and family attraction areas. Of course, the Exorcist Stairs at 36th and Prospect Streets are an attraction for horror movie buffs, and there’s kayaking and canoeing on the Potomac River. Blues Alley is the place to be for live music like 1920s Jazz clubs.
Georgetown offers a temperate climate. The winter in this area tends towards being moderately cold, but with relatively light snowfall and an average temperature around 38 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer tends towards being hot and humid, averaging 79.8 degrees Fahrenheit in July. Spring and fall seasons tend to be warm to mild. Summers have frequent thunderstorms. The most popular travel season across the nation is the summer, and Georgetown is no different. This means you can get better deals on Georgetown vacation rentals and more comfortable weather for sightseeing in the spring or fall.
Georgetown is situated right along the Potomac river, so if you’re in the mood for boating, canoeing, or kayaking, this is the place to go. The rest of the neighborhood is a quiet urban historic district, and most of the green space will be found in any of the local small parks in the area. In general, the geography of this area doesn’t offer much nature escape; it’s more a vacation spot for travelers who are in the mood to take in history, arts, and culture. If you’re into shopping, historic neighborhoods, and culture, Georgetown vacation rentals await!
