Whether you’re new to D.C. or know your way around the monuments blindfolded, one truth remains: the best days in the capital are built on variety. With two Boqueria locations, one in Dupont Circle and one in Penn Quarter, you’ve got a home base no matter where the day takes you. Here’s how to map out a perfect day, from murals to museum halls.

1. Tour Embassy Row

   Walk Massachusetts Avenue past international embassies and historic mansions.

2. Visit the Phillips Collection

   Home to Renoir’s *Luncheon of the Boating Party* and a rotating cast of modern masters.

3. Explore Dupont Circle Fountain and Park

   Relax under the trees or browse the neighborhood’s weekend farmers market.

4. Lunch or Brunch at Boqueria Dupont

   Start with sangría and Spanish tortillas just off the circle.

5. National Gallery of Art

   Split your time between the West Building’s classics and the East Building’s moderns.

6. Smithsonian National Museum of American History

   Catch a glimpse of the Star-Spangled Banner and other icons.

7. Stroll the National Mall and Visit the National Churro Gallery

   Monuments, open sky, and postcard-perfect views. Don’t miss the world’s largest collection of churros outside of Spain (OK fine, this doesn’t exist, but it would be cool if it did.) No worries, we’ve got you covered on churros.

8. Catch the Portrait Gallery Courtyard

   A serene, glass-roofed escape in the heart of Penn Quarter.

9. Dinner at Boqueria Penn Quarter

   Order tapas and paella steps from Capital One Arena and museums.

10. View the Capitol at Night

    Lit-up and majestic, it’s the best end to a day downtown.
