Enjoy one of the finest collections of Renaissance art in the world and visit a first-class opera house.

Allen asks:  Could you suggest a romantic restaurant around Dupont Circle? Preferably European cuisine.

For romantic yet casual, try Bistro du Coin (french) or Sette Osteria (Italian).  You could also impress at Urbana in the Hotel Palomar with their contemporary French/Italian, but the restaurant can be awkwardly empty in the dining area early in the week.  

You might want to consider The Tabard Inn.  It’s American but very romantic, especially if you start with a cocktail in front of the fireplace.  If you want to splurge, nothing beats Komi, but let me emphasize splurge.
