Home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. We would be remiss not to recommend visiting one of the many Smithsonian museums that line the Mall.


For the African American History or Air and Space, you will need to obtain free timed-entry passes in advance.

Embassy Row

A section of DC that has a high concentration of stunning embassies and diplomatic residences. Start at the corner of 20th and Massachusetts NW and walk northwest up Massachusetts Avenue.


For the food motivated, begin your stroll with a bite at Emissary, an all-day local cafe.
