Dupont Circle is one of Washington DC’s most walkable neighborhoods, built around a traffic circle and fountain just north of the National Mall’s museums and monuments.
Embassy Row Starts Here
Massachusetts Avenue northwest of the Circle is known as Embassy Row, lined with foreign embassies in grand early-20th-century mansions, giving the neighborhood an international feel distinct from the rest of DC.
A Metro Stop From the Mall
The Dupont Circle Metro station puts the National Mall, the White House, and Capitol Hill within a short ride, while the neighborhood itself has its own dense mix of restaurants, bookstores, and bars.
