Itinerary description
|
Running through downtown Washington, DC to see the most emblematic.
It is a circular route, it is easy to go and 0 difference, but what makes it a bit difficult is that it can reach 20km.
I decided to leave from the White House and descend to the right until arriving at the Mall where you can see the monument to Washinton in front of us. We head to the right zone to see the Memorial in World War Two, the memorial to the fallen from Vietnam and the memorial to Lincoln. Then we crossed the bridge to go see the Arlington cemetery (very interesting to see the memorial to the tombs of the unkown) after seeing the cemetery we will go to the bridge again and return to Mall'and me to see the rest of the memorials; Martin L. King, Roosvel and Jefferson. We will continue climbing and we will see the Washington Monument in front of us (we still do not stop here) and to the right the Holocaust Museum. We will continue to the right and there it is worthwhile to stop at the Smithsonian Castle garden as there are the Japanese trees in bloom (March-April time). We continue and I decided to visit the Museum of air and space. I loved it !! If you do not want to stop, continue until you reach the Capitol and we will turn it around, where we will see the library and the Supreme Court, we turn and continue on the way back to the Washington Monument (on the way to the right we will find different museums of art, history and animals), this time we stop below to see him be and we are finally going up to finish the tour of the White House.
Good job! We've seen everything!
