Why It Matters: Where History Speaks Out Loud
The Mall is America's open-air classroom. Stand with Lincoln. Whisper under the rotunda. Cross the river to Arlington and feel the quiet carry.
What to See & Do
- The Mall loop: Washington Monument → WWII → Lincoln.
- Smithsonian hits: Air & Space, American History, NMAAHC.
- Capitol/White House tours (book early!).
- Georgetown's cobbles and waterfront dining.
- Monuments by moonlight—unmissable.
Best Time to Go
Cherry blossoms (Mar–Apr) or crisp, golden fall (Sep–Oct).
