National Harbor, Waterfront district in Prince George's County, Maryland.

National Harbor extends along the Potomac River with a boardwalk, numerous shops, restaurants, hotels, and recreational facilities spanning 300 acres.

The area transformed from Salubria Plantation, built in 1827, into a mixed-use development following the plantation house destruction by fire in 1981.

Multiple public art installations and galleries throughout National Harbor display works from regional artists, contributing to the local art community.

Water taxis and shuttle services connect National Harbor to Washington D.C., Alexandria, and other destinations across the Potomac River.

The Capital Wheel, a 175-foot observation wheel, rotates above the Potomac River, providing views of Washington D.C. and Virginia.
