소 TDo not miss visiting the US capitol. The building is amazing and the history it tells is a must do when visiting Washington DC. You can do a free tour where a guide is telling you a lot of facts about the building, the people who worked here and the ones who still work here. You can experience the history of the government of the United States here better then any where else.Secret tip: visit the capitol when the sun is down for a walk around the capitol garden.

LucidDreaming6789The White House is one of the most iconic and historic landmarks in Washington, D.C. largely because it’s the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. I would recommend to anyone interested in American history and politics to tour the inside of the White House (it’s free but limited). The White House is also visible from outside by keeping a distance from it. You can also see the National Mall and Memorial Parks nearby (there are 14 parks and monuments in total), including the iconic Washington Monument.

mrbigbearThe Lincoln Memorial is an iconic symbol of American history and a place of profound significance. Its majestic architecture, featuring the towering statue of Abraham Lincoln, commands respect and admiration. The solemnity of the Reflecting Pool, set against the backdrop of the Washington Monument and the Capitol, creates a breathtaking vista. Visitors are immersed in the spirit of freedom, equality, and unity, making it a must-visit destination. The memorial's role in commemorating one of America's greatest leaders and his enduring message of liberty and justice for all is truly inspiring.

LucidDreaming6789It is a very pleasant experience to spend a couple of hours in this gallery. In fact, it’s not enough to visit it once (given the size of it, and it’s always free to visit!). I particularly enjoyed looking at the architecture of the newer part of this gallery (see photos). Also, the vibe is really good and perhaps it has something to do with the abundance of natural sunlight. Definitely recommended to plan a visit to this place!

谌默默At both ends of the square are the Capitol and the Washington Monument. The surrounding circle is full of museums: the History Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Aboriginal Museum............ In the middle is a large pool, and the green space next to it is full of small squirrels. They are not afraid of people at all. They will ask tourists for food. There is a feeling of cartoon reproduction, there are helicopters passing around the super cute Washington Monument, very shocking
