Visit Famous Gravesites: Among the notable Americans buried here are Presidents William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Robert Kennedy. See the Monuments and Memorials: Among dozens of memorials on the property are the Coast Guard Memorial, the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial, Spanish-American War Memorial, the USS Maine Memorial and many more. Attend a Special Event: Memorial services are held in the Arlington National Amphitheater on Easter, Memorial Day and Veterans Day and are sponsored by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. Many military organizations conduct other annual memorial services throughout the year. More than four million people visit the cemetery each year and approximately 27-30 graveside funerals are held here each day. Visit the Women in Military Service for America Memorial: This is the main entrance, also known as the Memorial Gate, and houses a visitors center which houses special exhibits that change periodically. Watch the Changing of the Guard: The Tomb of the Unknowns, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, stands on a hill overlooking Washington, DC. The tomb was dedicated in 1921 and contains the remains of soldiers from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The tomb is guarded 24 hours a day and each hour (each half-hour in summer) there is a changing of the guard ceremony with a special march and salute. Tour Arlington House: The former home of Robert E. Lee and his family is located on a hill, providing one of the best views of Washington, DC. George Washington Parke Custis, Lee’s father-in-law, originally built the house as his own home as well as a memorial to George Washington, his step-grandfather. Arlington House is now preserved as a memorial to Robert E. Lee, who helped heal the nation following the Civil War. Arlington House is temporarily closed through the fall of 2019. Visitors are encouraged to visit the Arlington House temporary Visitor Center currently located in the Women's Memorial.

The base of the memorial is made of Swedish granite. Written in gold are the names and dates of Marine Corps engagements since the founding of the organization and the inscription: IN HONOR AND MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO THEIR COUNTRY SINCE 10 NOVEMBER 1775 U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial facts and figures: The figures in the sculpture stand 32 feet tall. The post that the figures are raising is 60 feet tall. The memorial is about 78 feet tall. The M-I rifle carried by two of the figures is 16 feet long. The carbine carried by the figures is 12 feet long. The canteen would hold 32 gallons of water. The statue was entirely paid for with funds from the U.S. Marines, friends of the Marine Corps, and members of the Naval Service; the total coast was $850,000.
3.
The design of the U.S. Air Force Memorial symbolizes flight and the flying spirit with three stainless steel spires that soar 270 feet high (402 feet above sea level) and represent contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds as they disperse in a "bomb burst" maneuver. The U.S. Air Force "star" is embedded in granite beneath the spires. The memorial also has a paved Runway to Glory at the entrance, an 8-foot-tall bronze Honor Guard statue, two granite inscription walls, and a Glass Contemplation Wall for visitors to pay tribute to fallen Air Force service members. The U.S. Air Force Memorial was designed by James Ingo Freed, the internationally renowned architect who also designed the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The project was funded almost entirely by private contributions totaling more than $30 million. A gift shop is in the Administrative Office at the north end of the memorial in the same building as the restrooms. The gift shop is open Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays.

The U.S. Capitol Building, the meeting chambers for the Senate and the House of Representatives, is one of the most recognizable historic buildings in Washington, DC, located at the opposite end of the National Mall from the Washington Monument. It is a prominent landmark and an impressive example of 19th-century neoclassical architecture. The Capitol Dome was completely restored in 2015-2016, fixing more than 1000 cracks and giving the structure a beautiful polished appearance. With 540 rooms divided among five levels, the U.S. Capitol is a massive structure. The ground floor is allocated to congressional offices. The second floor holds the chambers of the House of Representatives in the south wing and the Senate in the north wing. Under the dome in the center of the Capitol Building is the Rotunda, a circular space that serves as a gallery of paintings and sculpture of American historical figures and events. The third floor is where visitors can watch the proceedings of Congress when in session.

The “Library of Congress Experience” opened in 2008, featuring a series of ongoing exhibitions and dozens of interactive kiosks offering visitors unique historical and cultural treasures brought to life through cutting-edge interactive technology. The Library of Congress Experience incorporates the "Exploring the Early Americas" exhibition which tells the story of the Americas before the time of Columbus, as well as the period of contact, conquest and their aftermath. It features unique objects from the Library's Jay Kislak Collection, as well as Martin Waldseemüller's 1507 Map of the World, the first document to use the word "America." All exhibits are free and open to the public.
6.
Visitors from around the world come to Washington, DC to tour the White House, the home, and office of the U.S. President. Built between 1792 and 1800, the White House is one of the oldest public buildings in the nation's capital and serves as a museum of American history. George Washington selected the site for the White House in 1791 and chose the design submitted by Irish-born architect James Hoban. The historic structure has been expanded and renovated many times throughout history. There are 132 rooms on 6 levels. The decor includes a collection of fine and decorative arts, such as historic paintings, sculpture, furniture, and China.

The World War II Memorial, located on the National Mall in Washington DC, is a beautiful place to visit and pay your respects to World War II veterans. The memorial opened to the public on April 29, 2004 and is operated by the National Park Service. The Memorial is an oval shape with two 43-foot arches, representing the war's Atlantic and Pacific theaters. Fifty-six pillars represent the states, territories and the District of Columbia at the time of the World War II. Two sculpted bronze wreaths adorn each pillar. The bases of granite and bronze are adorned with the military service seals of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Army Air Forces, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Small fountains sit at the bases of the two arches. Waterfalls surround a wall of 4,000 gold stars, each one represents 100 U.S. deaths in the war. More than two-thirds of the memorial consists of grass, plants and water. A circular garden, called the "Circle of Remembrance," is enclosed by a two-foot-high stone wall.

The Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC is a dome-shaped rotunda that honors our third president, Thomas Jefferson. A 19-foot bronze statue of Jefferson is surrounded by passages from the Declaration of Independence and Jefferson’s other writings. The Jefferson Memorial is one of the most popular attractions in the nation's capital and is located on the Tidal Basin, surrounded by a grove of trees making it especially beautiful during Cherry Blossom season in the spring.

The FDR Memorial is one of Washington DC's top attractions and honors Franklin D. Roosevelt for leading the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. This impressive park-like memorial is spread over 7.5 acres and features four outdoor gallery rooms depicting the 12 years of FDR’s presidency. FDR was the only president to be elected four times. The memorial includes ten bronze sculptures of President Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor Roosevelt featuring waterfalls and giant stones engraved with famous quotations relating to issues from the Great Depression to World War II, such as “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” FDR was the only president to ever have a handicap. He suffered from polio and sat in a wheelchair. The FDR memorial is the first monument designed to be wheelchair accessible.
11.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial pays tribute to those who served in the Vietnam War and is one of the most visited attractions in Washington DC. The memorial is a black granite wall inscribed with the names of 58,286 American’s killed or missing in the Vietnam conflict. The veterans names are listed in chronological order of when the casualty occurred and an alphabetical directory helps visitors locate names. Park rangers and volunteers provide educational programs and special events at the memorial. A life-size bronze statue depicting three young servicemen is located near the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Also nearby, is the Vietnam Women’s Memorial, a sculpture of two women in uniform tending to the wounds of a male soldier while a third woman kneels nearby. Visitors often leave flowers, medals, letters and photos in front of the memorials. The National Park Service collects these offerings and many are displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
12.
Take your time and marvel over the inspiring inscriptions and remarkable architectural details. Attend a Ranger program and learn about Abraham Lincoln's history and legacy. Be sure to stand at the top of the steps of the Memorial and enjoy the view looking across the Reflecting Pool and the National Mall. Visit early in the morning or after dark when the Memorial is less crowded. At night, the impressive structure is beautiful when it is illuminated.
13.
Veterans Statues The memorial features 19 larger-than-life-sized statues, designed by Frank Gaylord, dressed in full combat gear. They represent members of all of the branches of the armed forces: the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force. Mural Wall The black granite mural wall, designed by Louis Nelson of New York, consists of 41 panels extending 164 feet. The mural depicts Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard personnel and their equipment. When viewed from a distance, the etchings create the appearance of the mountain ranges of Korea. The Pool of Remembrance The Memorial has a reflective pool that encircles the mural wall. The pool is intended is to encourage visitors to view the Memorial and reflect on the human cost of war. Inscriptions on granite blocks at the east end of the monument list the numbers of soldiers who were killed, wounded, held as prisoners of war and missing in action. Unfortunately, most visitors don't see the casualty figures as they are not prominently in view.

Well worth the money. Seeing all the monuments at night was great. Super comfortable. Great because of all the daytime walking. And the views at night are spectacular.

I booked a tour 6 hours in advance in which the money was processed and confirmed through viator. I received no communication from neither viator or Monumental Limo LLC aside from the initial email with the tickets , confirmation number and booking number. When it was time for my tour at 3:00 on august 15, my driver had not contacted me. I called Monumental Limo several times and got no response. Once it reached 3:20 and the driver still hadn’t arrived ,I decided to call viator to which no one answered. I called Monumental Limo LLC for a 4th time and someone finally answered. The employee let me know that they had no record of my booking and no confirmation of my tour. I decided to call viator AGAIN to understand the disconnect between the 2 companies. The viator employee claimed to have seen a confirmation of booking on their end and seemed to lack as much knowledge as I did. She informed me that she’d send a refund request email to Monumental Limo LLC but I don’t believe enough action was taken

This car service was very bad. The driver tried to be polite but we only had 40 min tour in DC because he had another customer at 3p so we got cut short. I am going to dispute the charge with my Credit Card company because I was suppose to get a 4 hour tour. I am very disappointed in your service.
