Monumental moments
In Washington, attractions invite for long strolls, despite Pierre-Charles L'Enfant’s twisted street plan. The must-see monuments and buildings of the Smithsonian are all easily situated within proximity to the Mall, so as long as you pack comfortable shoes, you’ll be able to soak in enough neoclassicism to last a lifetime. The attractions continue beyond the Mall, with a new Georgetown Waterfront and, of course, a trip to the zoo.
