A Quick Orientation of Washington
Washington is laid out in four districts: Northwest, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest. North, South and East Capitol streets as well as the National Mall to the West radiate outwards from the Capitol area and serve as dividing lines. At the centre lies Capitol Hill, bordered by H street on the north, Southeast expressway to the south, 11th street to the east and Capitol street North and South to the west.

North and east of Capitol Hill lies downtown Washington, the city's busiest district and home to many of its landmarks as well as a wide variety of shops, theatres and restaurants. North and west of the White House you will find the Foggy Bottom district of Washington. Foggy Bottom is one of the most historic areas of Washington. Just north of Foggy Bottom you will find Georgetown, which was considered part of Maryland until 1871. Georgetown is a well-laid out district with wide, peaceful streets and imposing homes and is also home to Georgetown University.
