5 Sights & Landmarks in Federal Triangle That You Shouldn't Miss

January 17, 2022 Janette Largent

Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

This in a really fun visit. You ride a glass elevator to the top and have a great view of DC. I wish we had done this on our first day. There is a bathroom and a Starbucks at the ground floor. This only takes a few minutes, or as long as you want to look at the view. It’s free.

Be prepared to stand in line and go through security for a body scan/bag check. No one was asked to remove shoes. Once inside, enjoy the architecture. A Food Court consisting of cheap eats is located within this area. There are public lavatories as well.

This statue is one of the many along Pennsylvania Avenue and is prominent placed in a high pedestal! There is much to see but you shouldn’t miss it as you walk along. Take a minute to appreciate the minute detail of this statue and learn about the Major General.
