National Gallery of Art

Make sure to visit the National Gallery of Art if you appreciate art. It is divided into two buildings: the East Building, where you’ll find modern works by artists like Henri Matisse and Mark Rothko, and the West Building, which houses older pieces from artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Claude Monet. The museum is quite spacious and has an extensive collection that can easily occupy your entire afternoon. Take your time exploring and consider stopping by one of the gallery’s five bars and cafes for a coffee, gelato, or lunch.
