Discover Washington: A Self-Guided Tour

Overview

Discover Washington DC's monumental grandeur and democratic ideals with your self-guided audio tour, allowing you to explore America's capital at your own pace. Begin at the National Mall where the monuments to Lincoln, Washington, and the fallen of America's wars create a two-mile corridor of national memory stretching from the Capitol to the Potomac. Wander through the Smithsonian museums. Stand before the White House where every president since John Adams has lived and governed, then explore the halls of the Capitol where Congress has debated the nation's course since 1800. Marvel at the neoclassical grandeur of the Jefferson Memorial reflected in the Tidal Basin, especially magical during cherry blossom season when pink clouds frame the founding father's bronze figure. Discover Georgetown's cobblestoned streets where Federal townhouses and waterfront dining create the city's most charming neighborhood. Experience the solemn power of Arlington National Cemetery.
