Kennedy Center

I would like to go to the theatre

Let's continue with our amazing trip to the magnificent city of Washington. Your next stop now is at the Kennedy Center.

You can enjoy some live theatrical productions at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. You can also watch all kinds of performances ranging from musicals to concerts by the National Symphony, or see a free show at the Digital Stage (everyday at 6 pm.).

As the performing arts centre serves as a memorial to JFK, free guided tours are also available that explore the paintings, sculptures, and other artworks throughout the centre. The Kennedy Center Gift Shops offer a great selection of unique gifts or performing arts-related memorabilia. 

Discovering Washington is becoming a truly unforgettable experience!
