**★★★★★ Ashley T — 2 weeks ago

A staple that everyone should visit while in D.C! I’d recommend securing tickets in advance since they’re typically sold out on-site. Even during winter months, the monument is beautiful. It’s bigger than you’d expect but makes a great experience!

**★★★★★ Yinzú Nairouz — 3 weeks ago

Beautiful spot to enjoy the whole view of the National Mall and its surroundings. To go up in the elevator you need to book the 1$ tickets in advance. The views are amazing. They have some shows and festivals around the monument year-round, but specifically during spring and summer.

The views from the top are stunning, offering a panoramic look at DC’s most famous sites, including the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, and the White House. The elevator ride itself is part of the experience, with historical details displayed al

The Washington Monument is one of the most striking landmarks in D.C., and seeing it up close is an entirely different experience than viewing it from photos. The sheer height and simplicity of the structure make it feel timeless. The grounds around it are wide open and beautifully kept, offering amazing photo opportunities from every angle.

If you get the chance to go inside and take the elevator to the top, the panoramic views of the National Mall and the entire city are incredible- absolutel
