Our nation's capital provides an overwhelming number of historical, cultural, and architectural attractions. No visitor to the City should miss the chance to walk through the National Mall, which is home to the Washington Monument, the Korean Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Reflecting Pool. The Mall is bounded at each end by the Lincoln Memorial and the United States Capitol.
