About
Columbus Circle is a grand, historic entrance to Washington DC, offering great architecture and views of the Capitol. However, many visitors are disappointed by the cleanliness and the presence of homeless individuals. It is a good spot for a quick photo op, but not necessarily a place to linger for long.
