Washington D.C. Favorite Tips by GUYON

Capitol U.S. Capitol Building Review

Favorite thing: Climb the Capitol stair. Head of the congress. Free visit.

Fondest memory: The frontage is oriented East because, initially, Americans thought the town developped West.

Washington Monument Washington Monument Review

Favorite thing: Climb to the top of the Washington Monument - National Mall & 15th St NW. Set up in 1885. High : 170 m. Free ticket to obtain at 15th St.

Fondest memory: During our stay in Washington the Monument was closed.

Lincoln's memorial Lincoln Memorial Review

Favorite thing: Watch the Lincoln's statue in the Lincoln Memorial. At the West of the Mall (Subway : Foggy Bottom - Lines orange or blue)

Fondest memory: He sits on his huge harmchair and looks at the visitors.
This photograph is the evidence that The Planet of Apes is a fiction (though Lincoln was named by his ennemies : The Honest Abe).

Vietnam Veterans Monument Vietnam Veterans Memorial Review

Favorite thing: See the Vietnam Veterans Memorial located on the Mall : Constitution Avenue (between Henry Bacon Dr & 21st street)near the Lincoln Memorial - Subway : Foggy Bottom -

Say hello to Mr BUSH Junior The White House Review

Favorite thing: Say hello to Mr BUSH during your visit of the White House.

Fondest memory: Near 10 rooms on 135 can be visited and they are not the most interesting ones ... but it is the White House, a mythical place.

During the tour, you can see the portrait of Washington saved by Ms Adams, the president's wife, when the English soldiers set the fire to the WH during the 1812 War. The Photographs and video are not allowed.
