Dupont Circle featuring a monument, a garden and a fountain
Get ready for incredible architecture, restaurants and pubs in Dupont Circle.

This lively neighbourhood is known for its centrepiece—the Dupont Circle Fountain—as well as the prominent Phillips Collection art gallery and a vibrant LGBT community. Don’t miss the Dupont Underground, a network of once-abandoned trolley tunnels that have been resurrected as a trendy art space. Visit Heurich House, where you can tour an 1890s mansion and sample beers under the same roof. Then, laugh your head off at DC Improv, the area’s top comedy club.
