Are you planning to stay in Washington DC for a couple of days? This complete guide to Washington DC will tell you in detail all the highlights of the city! Many people ask why DC? Because it's the District of Columbia. Another interesting thing to note is that most of the museums and galleries are free. Depending on the time of year, they usually close between 5pm and 7pm. Of course, if you want to visit them all, you should stay more in DC. What I'm about to tell you about is a plan to go for a couple of days. Which museums should we visit? Among others, we went to the National Museum of American History, the National Air and Space Museum, and the Newseum (news and journalism). There are discounts for students and senior citizens, but only the Newseum has a charge. It really is worth the money. I loved it because the contents are very interesting and very entertaining. There is also a very nice terrace on the top floor where you can see the Parliament building. In Newseum I don't think I would recommend the American History Museum if you are only staying for a few days as I don't think it needs much, it is more for children. On the other hand, I really liked the Air and Space Museum. It has rockets, spaceships, real planes from NASA and the US military and is very interesting. Don't miss it! It's definitely something you should see, and it's free. There are also other important museums to enter. The National Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Museum of African American Art and Culture. The DC Underground One of the strangest things about DC is the subway/metro: unlike New York City, DC's underground system charges by distance, meaning the closer you get, the cheaper the fare. Also, each MetroCard is independent and cannot be shared. Here are some of the sights you absolutely can't miss in DC. Walk the entire National Mall, which stretches from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, a huge open-air park with all of DC's monuments, memorials and museums. Along the way, you'll pass all the way through. The George Washington Monument (the famous obelisk erected in honour of our first President. If you book in advance via this website, you can take a lift up to the top of the monument). The World War II Tribute (one of the most recent, built in 2004 during the Bush Junior administration). Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Memorials The Complete Guide to Washington DC Lincoln Memorial Last but not least, don't forget to visit the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King delivered his "I have a dream" speech on August 28, 1963. The view from the top of the memorial is truly beautiful, be sure to go up and take some panoramic photos of the reflecting pool.
