National Harbor & Area Attractions

From the moment you first set foot at National Harbor you know this place is different.

In a region rich with signature monuments and iconic destinations, the nation's capital is now home to a defining project that flanks the city with a colossal array of entertainment, upscale living, artistry, shopping, food and fun.

Standing with the mighty Potomac River before you, National Harbor is a 300-acre, mixed-used development that includes tree-lined promenades with retail space and class-A office space, a marina, thousands of residential units and the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, the largest such facility on the East Coast.

For residents and visitors, National Harbor offers world-class dining and shopping, signature festivals and events, along with thousands of homes within steps of the water. Two of the four piers are a pair of 700-ft.-long structures accommodating large concerts, dinner cruises, light shows and other outdoor events. Water taxis serve Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown and Mount Vernon.

Brought to life throughout the year with festivals, music and more, National Harbor embraces arts and entertainment in various forms.

Plus, Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team, is just across the river, easily accessible by bus or water taxi.

To find out more about what to do, where to eat, and how to get around, visit the Conference & Visitor's Bureau for Prince George's County. And for more on visiting Maryland and the Capital Region, visit the Maryland Department of Tourism.
