Capital Region (Maryland) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About Capital Region (Maryland)
The Capital Region is the most densely populated region of the state, home to the most populated Washington, D.C. suburbs, and satellite cities worth visiting, such asBethesda,Gaithersburg,College Park,Silver Spring,Kensington, andRockville. Rock Creek National Park is another reason why you would find yourself here—the long bike/running trail is great. Much of it, though, is suburban sprawl that has covered all the once beautiful Piedmont Plateau, and does not constitute any kind of tourist attraction, although plenty visit on business. Frederick County, while still in the capital's orbit, has a more rural character, as do northern parts ofMontgomery Countyand southern parts ofPrince George's County.
