The most visited destination in the world | The Lincoln Memorial and the reflecting pool |
We were in Washington D.C. when it was sunny, hot and humid. All of us perspired like anything. Although we had visited the city before, it was never for a travel crazy purpose. It was good to see millions of tourists from all over the world. The disadvantage was getting pictures with only the family members in. This was especially true for the Lincoln Memorial.
National Mall & Memorial Parks, Washington, D.C. (Washington Monument, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the war memorials) attract about 25 million tourists, says Forbes Traveler.
The nation’s premier national park and its monuments and memorials attract more visitors than such vast national parks as the Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone -- combined. The nearby Smithsonian museums of Natural History and Air & Space welcome more than about 5 million visitors apiece.
