Bethesda is a delightful city/suburb just north of Washington, D.C. Bethesda is well known for the National Naval Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health that has the worlds largest medical library. It is also home to art galleries and museums like Discovery Galleries, music studios, theatres and a great variety of restaurants with sushi at the Matuba Japanese Restaurant and Cajun at New Orleans Bistro. Bethesda combines a friendly, small-town atmosphere (don't miss out on the farmers markets and McCrillis Gardens!) with high-class attractions.
