President Barack Obama is back in the White House for another four years. He won a second presidential term early today, defeating Republican Mitt Romney. Go see the most powerful city in the US and its attractions – the White House, Capitol building where the Senate and House of Representatives meet, the 555ft white marble Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.
One of the best ways to see Washington is on a hop-on, hop-off bus or a Segway tour where you can get up close to the White House, home to every American president since 1797. You never know, you might even get a peep of Obama and his family (above).
