Georgetown

Arriving at the end of our journey!

Our journey to the city of Washington finishes at Georgetown. The area is a shopper's paradise and the streets are full of restaurants of every nationality. You can take a tour of historic sites, do some shopping and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant.

Georgetown is a great place to visit during the day or evening. There are plenty of interesting things to see and do and you can easily spend several hours exploring.

Best place to live

Listen to the conversation and answer the questions to check what you have understood properly. After that, you can also check it with the help of the transcript. Your teacher can help you with all these activities.
