Combining more then one sight Mar 22, 2007
The National Mall houses all the important sights in D.C. This is really the start out point to see all the monuments, museums and official building that the Nation's capitol has to offer.
If you don't like to be inside you'll walk along the mall. If you feel like getting out of the sun/rain you check out the museums along the way. Everything is around the National Mall. The Washington Monument is the center. To the west you'll find the Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, etc. Just north of the Washington Monument is the White House and several other official buildings. In the east you'll see the Capitol building, Smithsonian museum, Botanical garden, etc. In South lies the Jefferson Memorial, the FDR memorial and the Tidal Basin. If you can't find something you'll like around here then Washington is simply not for you. The Mall has several Metro stops with the closest being the Smithsonian station.
