Did you know that DC has its very own underground city? Enter the matrix just beneath the Library of Congress. Most people think that this set of tunnels merely connect one end of the library to the other. Wrong! It is an intricately developed tunnel system that connects the library to the Capitol Building and other super secret places. There are newstands, donut shops, a bordega and even a subway system that is totally separate from the metro!

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more mysterious, this place will show you that it can! Word on the street for decades was that there was a super secret subway under the Capitol building. It’s true! And Congressional personnel as well as Senators use it daily. How do you get it? Well, you may have to write to your Senator and ask.

Ever wonder where all those colorful kayaks and paddleboards dotting the Potomac come from? Grab your own rental at Thompson Boat Center and try your hand at stand up paddleboarding or kayaking. Cruise past the Lincoln Memorial, beat the Cherry Blossom crowds, or just take a break from your usual landlocked existence and enjoy some peace on the Potomac.

If you’d like to take a peak into the secretive world of Scientology, their “Founding Church” in Washington, DC is open to the public for tours. Not recommended for those who are easily persuaded…unless you have a lot of disposable income and free time.

Book a tour, if you dare! See how the DoD does protects and serves our country, while getting a sneak peak inside the most secretive place in the United States.

Descend into the shadowy underground of the church and stumble upon hidden hallways, and secret passageways. Take a ride to the top of the steeple and you’ll find a secret place of hidden people!!!

If ever you cared to live how the other half lives, do so in Georgetown! Click your heels twice, and grab a glass of champagne once you board BOOMERANG, the nighttime DC party boat yacht!!!

Looking to escape from D.C.? Why not go underground, and I don’t mean hitting the subway.  Dupont Underground regularly holds art exhibits under D.C. in tunnels that actually connect to the White House!

Ever wondered what it was like to live like a head of state in DC? Then book a stay at this Dupont Circle Victorian mansion, which sleeps 14 and was built in the 19th century. Dubbed the “Rosa Parks Safe House” because Rosa Parks often slept across the street at their sister property, the Mansion on O Street, you can hire their private chef and bring your dog along for the trip – it’s pet friendly!

Though it helps to be a member, this club can be found through Cady’s Alley in Georgetown and down the stairs. Created in a European-style, you’ll find an upscale lounge with interesting decor and even more interesting people. Non-members are welcome, though dress is smart casual and you may have a wait and entrance fee, depending on the evening.
