Itinerary
From here, you have a superb view of the Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to the 16th President of the United States. It is at the end of what is known as the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the largest reflecting basin in Washington DC.
Here you are in front of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It is in the form of a long black wall that runs along an alley of the Constitution Gardens
It is in honor of the 16th President of the United States that this imposing monument was built in 1922. Abraham Lincoln, does that ring a bell? He is the one who abolished slavery!
Opened in 1995 by US President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young Sam, the memorial is a tribute to the men and women who fought in the Korean War, which ran from 1950 to 1953.
This memorial is a bit special because it is the only one that pays tribute not to an event or a person, but to the only residents of the District of Columbia, those who served in the First World War.
Aaah, Martin Luther King... That's a name that leaves no one indifferent. We see it, here, etched in stone as it remains etched in our memories. Martin Luther King is THE leader of the civil rights struggle in the United States.
Here is a tribute to the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who ruled the country from 1933 to 1945. He was a president who left his mark on the country, because he governed for much of the Great Depression that began in 1929, and during World War II.
The large body of water in front of you is called the Tidal Basin. It is an artificial basin, which was created in the 1880s.
It is another president who is honored with this memorial, which takes us straight back to the American Revolution. The Jefferson Memorial was completed in 1943 to honour the 3rd President of the United States, some of whose quotations are inscribed on the walls.
On your right is the Holocaust Memorial Museum. The main entrance is on the other side of the building. Opened in 1993, it was designed by architect James Ingo Freed and features documents and research on the Holocaust, as well as objects and Collections dating from that dark period.
You have here one of the many symbols of the city: the Washington Monument. It refers to George Washington, after whom it was built.
Inaugurated in 1988, this small garden of plant plots and two fountains symbolizes the relationship between Germany and the United States and commemorates 300 years of German immigration to America.

About Washington DC
Washington, DC is the US capital, a planned city on the Potomac, with a National Mall of monuments and museums and cherry trees in spring.
Washington was planned as a capital in the 1790s, with broad avenues radiating from the Capitol. The National Mall stretches from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, past the Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool. Memorials to Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr stand around the Tidal Basin, where cherry trees bloom in late March or early April. The White House stands just north of the Mall.
