John F. Kennedy Grave Site

Reviewed By Sudler_Family - Indianapolis, United States

When you arrive at the JFK site you'll see an eternal flame that burns in the honor of JFK. You'll also see where his two brothers are buried along with other Kenedy family members. It's a little higher up the hill, but is deferentially worth the walk.

Rosslyn Metro Station

Reviewed By envy28 - Kailua, United States

We were new to using subways and went to the booth to ask for help. Mr. Maiden came out and walked us through how to read the signs and how to option our metro pass and how to use it properly. He was an excellent teacher. If you are staying in Arlington and want to take the metro into DC, don’t be nervous about starting out at this station, they were wonderful
