Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Wall and Washington Monument all in this area. When we visited last week it was busier than our previous visit. A lot of people peddling souvenirs etc. no issue parking and area is walkable. We came so our nieces could see these iconic sites in DC.

I think this area is a must see if you are in D.C. We walked from Washington monument to Lincoln Memorial along the reflection pool in the late afternoon. We then visited Vietnam war memorial and Korean War memorial. We wanted to stay there until the light is on, but we were too tired after all the walking, and it was cold, so we didn't get to see it in the dark.

Like a human magnet, the National Mall, which is bookended at one extremity by the US Capital Building and at the other end by the Lincoln Memorial, attracts people in volumes, yearly. It's an awe inspiring atmosphere of Monuments and Memorials. I was quite humbled by the solemnity of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and inspired by the kinetics of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Many Memorials and Monuments dot the grassy expanse of the National Mall.........each one I visited evoked a unique emotion in me..............a place of solemnity and feelings.

Packed full of all sorts of history even if you're not a fan. Reflecting waters make it even more magical, even if it's only 6 inches deep. You can see numerous monuments no matter which direction you turn!

The feature that ties together the impressive buildings, memorials and monuments at the center of Washington DC. Best seen by strolling along it from one end to the other, and taking in and visiting the memorials along the way. In late fall it had a stark beauty and feeling that changed depending upon the time of day and amount of light.

A stunning showcase of American history and culture. With iconic monuments and vast green spaces, it's a must-visit for anyone exploring the nation's capital. Be prepared for long walks and crowds, but the experience is definitely worth it.

Very impressive, I have been there in 2014 (in January, the cold was everywhere), then, after 10 years, I have returned to visit National Mall. It is an amazing place, there is no doubt why there are lots of people visiting it. I'm sharing some pictures to try to express the feeling of being there.

The majority of the memorials are on, or near, the Mall, so you can spend a couple of days walking up and down the Mall, taking in the sites. There are bencsh along it if you need a break, and shade if you need it. And plenty of food vans if you're hungry!

The area comprises the memorials of former president Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, the Washington Monument and the memorials of the Korean and Vietnam and World War 2 Veterans. It’s a considerable walk from the parking and with the construction work going on, you may need to walk slightly more and navigate slightly detours but it’s worth the effort. This area is an absolute must do when in the DMV. Carry an umbrella (it will also provide protection from the sun and there are large portions which are uncovered. In season, you’ll see trees covered in cherry blossoms. It’s quite pretty. There are plenty of rest rooms and some water fountains through the area

The National Mall is the most important and most iconic thing to see in Washington DC. The National Mall is home to many monuments on a 2 mile stretch of land from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial. Some of these monuments and memorials include the Washington Monument, World War 2 Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. There are also the many Smithsonian museums that are free and available in the National Mall.
