Spies, Crime, Punishment, and Beyond.

There are lots of unique ways to approach student travel. As you’ve seen, we’ve been building a lot of tours from themes. And this is a really fascinating one that opened my eyes to attractions I didn’t even know existed. Ever considered a travel theme of Law and Order?

One of the best cities for law and order tours, is Washington D.C. It’s the setting for crime and intrigue in the movies all the time. And there’s a reason. Home to the defense department, countless museums, our federal government, and attractions of espionage, crime, and punishment – this city’s just asking for plots of classic conspiracy. Take a look at some of the attractions that let you be a part.

International Spy Museum – You’re going to be so surprised how much espionage has played into many pivotal moments in history. You’ll see the tools, hear the stories, and catch at least a glimpse of what this business requires.

National Museum of Crime and Punishment – Pretty much what it sounds like only put the term crime and punishment in pirate gear, cowboy chaps, and numerous costumes through history. The museum tells stores from every era plus takes you to the set of America’s Most Wanted.

National Cryptologic Museum – Like the picture above, this museum helps you crack the code. You’ll learn how codes are made and how they are broken, the tools required for this amazing profession, and stories of success from cryptological history.

The Pentagon – A tour of this uniquely-shaped building takes you over one mile of hallways through the intricate design. It’s home to the headquarters for every branch of our military and a fascinating tour with an expert guide, amazing trivia, and inspiring memorials.

This is just the beginning. You’ll discover so much about law enforcement, the judicial system, and more on a law and order tour throughout the nation’s capital. It’s a fascinating theme for any student and a serious look into many valid and worthy professions.
