Discover US history through iconic memorials like the Vietnam War Memorial and monuments like the Washington Monument along the National Mall in Washington, DC on this guided walking tour.
The National Mall is an open-air museum telling the fascinating story of how the nation was shaped. This tour will showcase not only its can't-miss highlights but also some of the lesser-known gems, on a journey uncovering this captivating promenade piece by piece.
The first stop is the Albert Einstein Memorial, where you’ll get an introduction to the National Mall from its origins to its significance today. Your guide will point out the exact spot to stand to pass the "echo test" and show you the National Academy of Science. This spot is a true hidden gem—many locals don't even know it exists!
The Vietnam War Memorial is the National Mall’s most-visited site, and your next stop. Commemorating soldiers who served during the Vietnam War, the memorial was designed by Maya Lin and features over 58,000 names carved on the wall, visually representing the lives lost in the conflict.
Another seminal site awaits next. The iconic Lincoln Memorial has been widely featured in film and TV since its completion in 1922. Your guide will fill you in on the legends surrounding the sculpture and the hall that houses it before you move on to the Memorial Reflecting Pool, displaying beautiful reflections of the walkway.
These paths will bring you to the Martin Luther King Memorial—the first memorial dedicated to an African American on the National Mall—along with the Korean War Memorial. See how 19 statues form a platoon on patrol, one from each branch of the US army.
Finally, see the entire park from above along with breathtaking views over the whole district as you ascend to the top of the Washington Monument. There’s no better place to take a moment to reflect on the significance of the National Mall and the stories you’ve heard during your visit.
