Take a visit to D.C.'s Newseum, ranked #2 out of 209 attractions in D.C. by Trip Advisor.  Each of these general admission tickets are good for two consecutive days.

The Newseum — a 250,000-square-foot museum of news — offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits. It is located between the White House and the U.S. Capitol and adjacent to the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall.

The Newseum features seven levels of galleries, theaters, retail spaces and visitor services. It offers a unique environment that takes museumgoers behind the scenes to experience how and why news is made.

Why not make it an overnight by staying at the Renaissance Dupont Circle and visiting the International Spy Museum the next day, or dining at Arucola Osteria?
