15 Best Things To Do in Washington, District of Columbia
As you'd expect, the United States Capitol and Capitol Hill are the most popular places in Washington DC, followed closely by The Lincoln Memorial, which has been there since 1922.
In the same vicinity, you’ll find the Washington Monument that pays tribute to veterans of Vietnam, Korea, and the second world war. In fact, there’s a Vietnam Women’s Memorial with the names of all women who helped wounded soldiers during wartime.
Needless to say, Washington DC is known for its history, and everything else, from arts to culture, will always be secondary to it.
