This is the most beautiful guide in my Sentimental Travel collection. It includes historical and cultural facts, making ideal for first-time visitors to DC.
It’s a well-organized book that helps you navigate the U.S. capital and highlights points of interest.
However, the best thing about this guide—and the reason it’s my favourite—is the illustrations. The author’s beautiful watercolours are printed on slightly textured beige paper.
The amazing handwritten and hand-painted fonts make it the perfect souvenir.
I bought it either at the Smithsonian Postal Museum gift shop or at the Capitol gift shop. I can’t quite remember which, but both stores have beautiful books, U.S. mementos, and postcards.
