Bethesda Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States
About Bethesda
Bethesda was a quiet suburb until 1984, when the Red Line of the Metrorail was extended. This brought an explosion of growth, and many high rise office and apartment buildings were built. Bethesda became the major suburban destination in Maryland for wining and dining, and is much more family-friendly than anywhere in D.C.
