What to expect
From here, you have a superb view of the Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to the 16th President of the United States. It is at the end of what is known as the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the largest reflecting basin in Washington DC.
Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Here you are in front of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It is in the form of a long black wall that runs along an alley of the Constitution Gardens
It is in honor of the 16th President of the United States that this imposing monument was built in 1922. Abraham Lincoln, does that ring a bell? He is the one who abolished slavery!
Korean War Veterans Memorial
Opened in 1995 by US President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young Sam, the memorial is a tribute to the men and women who fought in the Korean War, which ran from 1950 to 1953.
This memorial is a bit special because it is the only one that pays tribute not to an event or a person, but to the only residents of the District of Columbia, those who served in the First World War.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
Aaah, Martin Luther King... That's a name that leaves no one indifferent. We see it, here, etched in stone as it remains etched in our memories. Martin Luther King is THE leader of the civil rights struggle in the United States.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Here is a tribute to the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who ruled the country from 1933 to 1945. He was a president who left his mark on the country, because he governed for much of the Great Depression that began in 1929, and during World War II.
Tidal Basin
The large body of water in front of you is called the Tidal Basin. It is an artificial basin, which was created in the 1880s.
Thomas Jefferson Memorial
It is another president who is honored with this memorial, which takes us straight back to the American Revolution. The Jefferson Memorial was completed in 1943 to honour the 3rd President of the United States, some of whose quotations are inscribed on the walls.
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
On your right is the Holocaust Memorial Museum. The main entrance is on the other side of the building. Opened in 1993, it was designed by architect James Ingo Freed and features documents and research on the Holocaust, as well as objects and Collections dating from that dark period.
You have here one of the many symbols of the city: the Washington Monument. It refers to George Washington, after whom it was built.
United States Capitol
Inaugurated in 1988, this small garden of plant plots and two fountains symbolizes the relationship between Germany and the United States and commemorates 300 years of German immigration to America.
799 9th St NW
The imposing building here is the headquarters of the U.S. Treasury Department, which is responsible for ensuring the country’s financial security, making coins and banknotes, reporting the government’s financial statement to the president, and ensuring economic prosperity.
The White House
There she is. ! The most famous house in the world is revealed to you, imposing and brilliant behind its fence that will not allow you to go further. Get ready, there are things to say about the one that serves as the residence of the President of the United States!
Lafayette Square was once part of the Presidential Park. It was separated from the White House in 1804 by President Thomas Jefferson, who built the road between the park and the building.
Built between 1871 and 1888, this elegant building, which reveals a Second French Empire style, was built to house the departments of State, War and Navy. Its architecture is a very beautiful masterpiece of the time.
The park was built in 1976 at the request of President Ronald Reagan.
It’s still a memorial you have here: Washington being the capital of the United States, it has more than a hundred memorials scattered throughout the city, which pay tribute not only to the country’s history, but also to great American and international figures.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
