“Behind the doors of DC’s embassies await a wealth of cultural treasures most residents and visitors will never experience in one day–that is until Passport DC rolls around. For the third year Passport DC provides an authentic insider experience of the diplomatic community that allows DC to rightly claim a place as one of the world’s most international cities.
Visitors can enjoy the cultural diversity of the embassies of Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin and Brazil. From “A” (Australia) to Z (Zambia), each embassy will feature its own potpourri of culture from cuisine to artisan markets, traditional music to dance, and other activities for the whole family.

OMG their SMOG and Baltimore Bomb pies are ridiculously delicious!
I did this last year and it was a lot of fun! Highly recommended.
I did this two years ago and it was a blast. The Russian Embassy was really cool. The Portuguese embassy staff was very very friendly as well.
Highly recommended….
