Notes on the Monuments Tour

One of my favorite things to recommend to tourists as it relates to the memorials is to tour them at night. Put on your walking shoes because you will easily get your steps in. Start at the Washington Monument and walk toward the WWII Memorial, from there walk down the reflecting pool toward Lincoln Memorial then walk toward Independence Ave and head east toward MLK Memorial. From the MLK Memorial walk down the Tidal Basin toward FDR Memorial. At the end of the MLK Memorial you can walk to Jefferson Memorial or walk back to Independence Ave and head back to Washington Monument.
