Spanish Steps
Dupont Circle
Named for the Spanish Steps in Rome, D.C.’s Spanish Steps aren’t quite as grand as their European counterparts, but they do provide a tranquil reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. Located next to Embassy Row, the steps offer a view of the Dupont Circle neighborhood. A lion-head fountain at the top is a good place to relax with a book or make a wish in the fountain with pennies. The steps are near the Woodrow Wilson House.
