And You Will Travel

By Andrew Regan

For many, Washington D.C. is more than just the capital and administrative centre of the United States: it’s also the spiritual home of the nation, which houses some of its most important documents and artefacts. That’s why any vacation to Washington D.C. should incorporate a comprehensive tour of its many famous landmarks and highly acclaimed museums and galleries, in order to foster a better understanding of America’s historical legacy.

Of course, anyone intent on exploring Washington D.C. will likely have the White House as their most important point of interest. However, it’s crucial not to let the allure of the President’s abode get in the way of appreciating the city’s other well-known political landmarks. Pay a visit to the National Mall -, a large open area which features many monuments to American leaders, including the Washington Monument. In close proximity to the Mall, you’ll also find the Lincoln Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Albert Einstein Memorial.
