What to expect

This self-guided walking audio tour of Washington, D.C. and its famous monuments will give you insightful information to complement your visit to the capital of the United States.

Start by visiting the White House where you can admire the seat of American power and learn some fascinating tidbits about its construction. From here, head south toward Constitution Gardens and pick up some insight into D.C.’s complicated history along the way. Through the gardens, you’ll find what was once the city’s most controversial monument: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

You'll also visit important memorials such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. And of course, no visit would be complete without a visit to the National Mall to get an up-close look at the Washington Monument.

If you like museums, the next stretch of the tour is absolutely for you. Along this route, you’ll pass the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and the National Gallery of Art. There’s a reason D.C. is known as the number one place to go for museums!

On the final leg of the tour, you’ll arrive at three of the most crucial buildings in the city: The Library of Congress, the Capitol Building, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The tour will conclude here amid the three awe-inspiring structures.
