The 41 best bridges in Arlington

Scenic bridge leading from Arlington Cemetary to the DC. Felt safe as a pedestrian. Adequate space to walk. Bridge is kept clean. Nice views all around.

Beautiful bridge to drive over. Clean and well kept. With the Potomac River right underneath. Much better than the bridge north of it.

Absolutely beautiful! A great drive, even better, so to catch the sunset! There is parking available throughout the area. A lot to see in this area. Perfect for a bike ride, a run out a stroll.

Nice walk. A little noisy. And a lot of abandoned bikes.

This place is the most romantic and beautiful especially during the sunset. I have a lot of experience of taking a pictures in different kind of locations and this one, believe me, really special one. I definitely highly recommend this place. :)

Beautiful bridge and it's nice to walk or run on. Has a beautiful view of Arlington National Cemetery on one end and the Lincoln Memorial on the other. Also has a beautiful view of the Washington monument it an excellent area to see Fire Works. You will also see this area in several movies from time to time. With the Air Port close by you can watch the Jets take of and land from here .

Watching the sunset on the bridge was beautiful.. now add in the sight of planes flying low over your head to land, makes it all more exciting.

Absolutely amazing experience! Used the old town trolly tram tour for Arlington cemetery and it was definitely worth it to get the history and location of key figures. The children (12&7) enjoyed the interaction with the tour guide and seeing the traditions. Changing of the guard was a must see and experience. The property is obviously well maintained and cared for.

Honored and humbled to walk among the headstones of those who served for my freedom. The changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier should be seen by all Americans, what a sacrifice and the dedication is amazing.

Words do not do justice to the emotions one feels walking through Arlington. Watching the Old Guard stand sentry over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an absolute honor given to the soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we have today.

Visiting Arlington National Cemetery is a deeply humbling experience — a place where silence speaks of courage, sacrifice, and honor. Each stone tells a story of service and dedication to a nation’s ideals. Walking through these grounds reminds us of the true cost of freedom and the enduring spirit of those who served. May we carry their legacy forward with gratitude and peace.

First time visiting (as an adult) and I really enjoyed the tram tour. I highly recommend it to just do the full loop as you can see apot wirhkit all thr walking. We only got off on a 2 stops and still saw plenty. Witnessed 2 wreath ceremonies at 12pm - the whole Guard Change was about 15 minutes. They are currently expanding the grounds to allow them more room for burials through 2050/2060. Tram narrator (Charles) was full of information. Tram is open air so when it is cold you will feel the cold air! *Military Pricing for thr Cemetery Tram rides is $10pp up to 4 people I believe.*

The highlight of our trip. Wish we had more time to spend here. You really need several hours. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an absolute must!

With the smithsonian closed our family decided to give it a try. It turned out to be the most memorable experience in DC for my parents. The tram was hop on hop off style, all the staff were helpful, polite and informative. The tour guides on the trams we're very informative energetic and nice. One house/or museum was not open but the entire experience was still pleasant because most monuments were outside. The most special was changing of the guards ceremony. At the end of the tour they handed out red poppy for all of us. Parking was 3$ an hour.

16MAY2025 The parking lot had a bit of empty spacey and the walk from the lot to the island was nice. The trail was good and easy. Great day out with my mate. We had a delicious lunch and drinks. The nature around us was beautiful.

One of my favorite DMV hideaways and celebrates one of my favorite presidents. Just across the Potomac from Georgetown and nestled next to Arlington, this oasis of nature is a great spot for short but beautiful hikes and yet you still get plenty of “forest-bathing” —we did some birding and even saw deer on the island!

Excellent park, plenty of trails and shaded areas with excellent views across the water. Plan your parking well though! Not a lot of spots and they go very quick. The only restrooms are near the parking lot, and are your typical portapotty situation. There are several water fountains throughout the park, however. Highly recommend, overall!

Great walking trail. Parking lot gets full but don't be tempted to park on the grass unless you want to get a parking ticket.

The Theodore Roosevelt Island park has beautiful views and lots of flora and fauna. The memorial itself is set deep in the woods and pays a great tribute to Roosevelt. I think that the fountains have fallen into deep neglect. We all noticed that the water was not running. The only water in any of the fountains was from rainwater and was fouled from tree limbs and leaves. I found pictures of the same fountains from 2022 and they were in the same condition then. It seems that the Park Service has decided to not maintain the fountains, which is a shame.

Pedestrian only - I love it. Very relaxing to walk. Have bathroom and water refill stations.

Beautiful hiking trails with absolutely stunning views. Many many parking spots/spaces are available. It was such a great spot for a hike with my husband and children too. Maybe mile and a half just walking around the island.

One of the more impressive views of downtown D.C when travelling in from the Virginia side. Solid structure and in a very historical area

The brige is nice, not particularly beautiful, although good eunuch to drive over, sometimes there is lots of traffic though.

Short drive from Georgetown where we were staying. Get there early to get a free parking spot. Wear comfortable shoes for the flat hike which took us nearly an hour. Beautiful views of DC. Great escape.

Bit tight place for pedestrians, runners and bikers...but OK. Nice view to Roosevelt Island.

It’s not possible to access Roosevelt Island from here — unless you want to run across freeways. From DC to VA, the bridge ends at to gravel path that lasts a few steps. A bridge to nowhere for pedestrians.... 👏 another win for DMV city planning. (The scooters were not ours lol)

Good area to get out with the young family and dogs!

Beautiful arches embellish the view of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. The arches are a memorable addition to the bridge, making it another monumental landmark enhancing the nation's capital. Located specifically in the Navy Yard area across from Nats Park. The views from Dasha Bier Garden are breathtaking. A must see if you are visiting DC.

Bridges can be both beautiful and functional and this is one of them. Whether it be the changing array of colors or the presence of bicycle/pedestrian lanes on both sides, this bridge exceeds the current need and is open for providing well into the future.

The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is an elegant bridge over the Anacostia in the Yards/Riverfront area of DC. The wide pedestrian and bicycle paths offer lovely views of the river, and there are areas along the bridge where you can stop to fully enjoy the views. As of December 2022, there didn't seem to be any signage on or near the bridge telling about Frederick Douglass, which seems a missed opportunity. Despite this, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is a marvel, adding beauty to a developing neighborhood.

What a beautiful bridge! We had the pleasure of accidentally discovering this bridge while visiting the area.

Named after Frederick Douglass, the great abolitionist, writer, and statesman who lived in Anacostia, the bridge is meant to represent connection, progress, and equality.

Newly renovated, besides the stunning design, the biggest improvement are the wide pedestrian pathways on both sides allowing for runners, walkers and bicyclists to pass without crowding each other.

The bridge and river all looked very pretty Spent time here with friends and family Had fun

Obviously a must see if you're visiting DC! I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded but people were being very respectful and waiting for others to finish to take their pictures. When you get to the top you can see all the way down the National Mall which is great. Unfortunately the bookstore was closed due to the government shutdown, but still fun to check out!

A great place to honor our former president. You will never understand how big it is until to get to the bottom. The best time to visit is close to sunset when the sky is pretty and you can see the full reflection of the Washington monument with amazing colors in the sky. The addition of the ramp although blocks the view from the front, is a good addition for those with strollers.

Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial is one of the most awe-inspiring landmarks in Washington, D.C., and a place that never fails to leave a deep impression no matter how many times you visit. Standing at the base of the monument and looking up at the towering statue of President Abraham Lincoln, you can truly feel the weight of history and the ideals he represented — unity, equality, and freedom. The craftsmanship is remarkable; the marble gleams beautifully in the sunlight during the day and takes on a serene glow under the lights at night. The entire site is impeccably maintained, and the setting along the Reflecting Pool makes it even more breathtaking. Watching the Washington Monument’s reflection shimmer in the water, especially at sunset, is a sight that captures the very spirit of America. The memorial’s inscriptions — the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address — are powerful reminders of the enduring importance of words in shaping a nation’s conscience. The atmosphere is peaceful yet profoundly moving. Tourists, students, and locals all stand together in quiet respect, taking in both the grandeur and the solemnity. Visiting the Lincoln Memorial is not just sightseeing — it’s an experience of reflection, gratitude, and inspiration that every visitor to D.C. should have at least once.

Such an iconic and meaningful place! Did you know that the statue of Abraham Lincoln is 19 feet tall (about 6 meters)? It was originally designed to be much smaller, but the sculptor enlarged it to better fit the grand memorial. On the walls, you’ll find two of Lincoln’s most famous speeches — the Gettysburg Address on the south wall and the Second Inaugural Address on the north wall. Each one captures his vision of unity and equality. A visit here truly feels like stepping into history.

Visiting the Lincoln Memorial was a powerful and memorable experience. Standing before the statue of President Lincoln, surrounded by his famous words engraved on the walls, gives a real sense of history and reflection. The structure itself is impressive — beautifully designed, peaceful, and perfectly positioned to overlook the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument. The area is clean, well-maintained, and easy to reach, especially for a walk along the National Mall. Whether you visit during the day or at sunset, the atmosphere feels calm and respectful. It’s a must-see landmark in Washington, D.C., offering both beauty and meaning in one place.

Visited the Lincoln Memorial early in the morning before flying back to Kingdom. The calm atmosphere and morning light made the visit truly memorable. It’s an inspiring place that captures the essence of American history - definitely worth seeing, even if you have just a few hours in Washington, D.C.

Part of the national mall and the first monument on the far end of the park. This monument is a tribute to Abraham Lincoln and has a gigantic sculpture, overlooking the entire national mall. The view from atop the memorial is beautiful especially on a sunny day from where you can see the water, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol Hill. There is a ramp that makes it accessible for wheelchairs all the way up to the monument. There is a large staircase to access the actual monument. There is ample street parking available on constitution Avenue which is paid till 6 PM during weekdays

When in DC, make sure to get away from the National Mall and across the Potomac. Closest metro stop is Rosslyn and then a short walk to the memorial. If driving, limited parking is available on site. This memorial is larger than life and strikes a feeling of patriotism seeing the pride our soldiers have had throughout major conflicts and war zones.

Great scenery, the most fascinating thing was the alignment of the War memorial with the Capitol and the DC free standing monument. This single war memorial captures the essence of the US flag and it's importance. A great piece of memory...

The Marine Corps Memorial is not just a monument. It is a reminder of the significance of what it represents.....valour, honour, bravery and sacrifice. It is a place gratitude and reflection. The sheer size will leave you in awe. The detail of the memorial, which captures the flag raising on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, is stunning! I highly recommend a visit. Semper Fi!

The U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial is a truly awesome monument to visit in the D.C. area. I have especially fond memories here, being a Marine, as I accepted my warrant and commission here, I have run through the monuments for fun, and I finished the 50th Marine Corps Marathon here. The monument is so inspirational and is a testament to the might of Our Great Nation. It stands as a remembrance for those Marines and Sailors that drove with steadfast perseverance and gave the ultimate sacrifice during World War II for the love and prosperity of The People of Our Great Nation. What’s more is that this memorial stands for all members of the Armed Forces past, present, and future. Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and now Guardians alike, the spirit and countryman-ship of all can be both felt and celebrated here at the Marine Corps War Memorial. I absolutely love visiting D.C., it is truly a treat for me. I do not really care for some of the attitudes of people who reside here, or the crazy people on the roadways, but away from that, D.C. embodies some of the richest and most rewarding aspects of our historical American culture. I highly recommend and encourage all of go can to visit this and all the other memorials, monuments, and historic structures in the National Capitol Region.

US Marine Corp War Memorial is just outside the Arlington National Cemetery and well worth the visit. The bronze statue of the flag raising on Iwo Jima was spectacular!

Visiting the Marine Corps War Memorial was humbling and powerful, seeing the monument in person brought home the weight of sacrifice and the strength of those who served throughout the years. It’s more than a memorial, it’s a tribute to unwavering courage. To all Marines past, present and future, thank you for doing what you do. Semper Fidelis.

A really nice monument worth visiting. It is surrounded by a park with easy in & out access. Lots of parking available.

The Pentagon Memorial is such a powerful place to visit with kids. It’s peaceful, yet it carries the deep sadness of the 9/11 tragedy that forever changed our country. Walking through it gives you a chance to share with your children not only the history of that terrible day, but also the strength, unity, and resilience that followed. It’s a moving experience that leaves a lasting impression.

We were not from DC and had a little bit of a hard time finding the actual location to the memorial plus the parking. We got turned around and accidently went (for like 1.5 seconds) down a one way and Pentagon police did not hesitate to pull us over. We were only given a warning but they definitely aren't playing around. Don't come for me, but I personally found this memorial very simple (just overall) when compared to the 9/11 memorial in NYC. Yes, two different places but still the same subject (I'm sure the Shanksville PA location is about the same). There was only one other couple here. It is nice and quiet. Definitely a place for remembrance and reflecting. Worth a visit for sure. Not much here other than the memorial benches, each with a pool of water underneath. Very moving and such a great way to memorialize those lost on 9/11 in the Pentagon. Being near the Pentagon, security is high and I would limit your photography to strictly the memorial itself and not the building or surrounding area.

A beautiful tribute for the lives lost. Currently there is construction being done but there is a detour that still allows you to visit the memorial. Beautiful plaques with the names of the people who lost their lives along with benches for each person. A quiet and serene garden space with trees planted allowing one to sit and reflect. You can't help but feel emotional. A must visit if you are coming from out of town.

A powerful and moving memorial that honors the lives lost on 9/11 with beauty and dignity. Beautiful at night too! The design is easy to navigate and free to visit, making it accessible day or night. Parking can be tricky and is limited, so public transit or nearby parking is best. Well worth the effort to get there for a quiet moment of reflection.

The place was very nice and made everyone I was traveling with very reflecting. It was overall a really nice memorial with an intuitive design and cool lighting. Highly recommend.

It is a historical place for 9/11. You additionally have a view on Pentagon. The meaning of the banks and their direction with floating water needs to be reserched before you go there to understand the deeper meaning.

With the construction, getting to the memorial is currently a little confusing. However, once we got there, we found it very well designed and put together. Great memorial to those who lost their lives that day. This is the second of the three 9/11 memorials I've visited, and I recommend this to anyone who gets a chance to go.

Not a lot of parking for the observation deck but well worth it if you can get in there

Roger is amazing! Super knowledgeable, really listens to what I want, and gives me the style I'm looking for without damaging my hair. Genuinely cares about the health of my hair. Always leave feeling satisfied Highly recommend.

Chain Bridge is a quiet, historic crossing over the Potomac. It’s not as busy as other bridges, which makes it a great spot to enjoy peaceful river views and access nearby walking trails. The drive across can feel narrow, but the scenery makes it worthwhile.

This was the place where I ended my run and started to hike. A very small car parking lots, for less than ~10 cars. Connected to hiking trails not far away. Running trail connect to the middle of the bridge.

I have known Roger more than 10 years, he is a very professional, a good listener and talented hairstylist. He gave me different hairstyles and colors over the years and they all looked good and matched my features. He is highly recommended!

It is a mighty bridge. I was able to cross the river. The river was pretty from the bridge vantage point, even though I couldn't take it all in because I was driving across it. I would drive across this bridge again!

Pretty spot for a hike, nice crossing the bridge witnessing fall foliage

Beautiful bridge with wide walkway and bike trail. Can’t wait for the completion of the quay underneath the bridge

As bridges go, it's nice. There are two sections sticking out of the west side, and you can get good views of the SE waterfront: the Washington Navy Yard, Nats Park and so on.

I love the new observation decks and connections to the bike trail. You can now safely walk across this bridge to get to the Navy Yard and Marine Barracks area.

Very pleasant. Thoughtful designers included sitting decks which stretch out over the water from the sidewalk. Not a bad place to cop a squat:-)

Nice viewing areas with benches and lights.

Great place for a evening workout

Beautiful new clean bike ways and esplanade with two really great viewing points that allow great selfies with the river as a backdrop

Stroll on the bridge's east, a secret to share, halfway across, pause, and prepare. Below in the pen, horses at play, a lively display to brighten your day. Watch them frolic, free and unfurled, against the backdrop of a cloud-swirled world. A serene spectacle, with the park in view, an urban oasis, fresh and true. A moment of peace, as life moves around, in the heart of the city, tranquility found.

Surreal views for a place to do your morning evening runs

Incredible views overlooking trees on either side of the bridge, with the National Cathedral visible in the distance. It only needs some bike lanes and a trolley - because cars otherwise roll by obnoxiously loud.

As far as residential bridges in suburban areas go it's pretty classy. With 4 lions guarding the bridge at either end and a view of the creek running through Rock Creek Park below, this is a glorious stroll on a spring day

This bridge facilitated my partner's suicide. Research shows he would have lived that night and may very well still be here today if this bridge had a barrier installed, like the neighboring Ellington Bridge back in the '80s. The Taft was slated to get a barrier 40 years ago but the effort was stopped by local stakeholders, including now DC City Council Chair Phil Mendelson and the DC Preservation League. Now they are trying to make it right. It's too late for my partner. It's too late for the other person lost since. Hoping it won't be too late for anyone else. #taftbridgebarrier #inhonorofPeter

This Bridge is beautiful. It has massive lions at either end. It's a nice place to walk. I highly recommend this bridge.

Parking underneath. It's a mounted police station but they have visitor parking until dark. Short walk to the zoo

Connects charming Woodley Park and vibrant Adams Morgan. Includes incredible views that overlook lots of trees on either side of the bridge. It only needs some bike lanes and a trolley - because cars otherwise roll by obnoxiously loud.

Beautiful and scenic views of DC here. A great place for walking or biking. One of my favorite landmarks in DC to get a nice healthy jog in the morning and some evenings.

I just think this is a good place to look at the sky. It's wide and open and when the sun goes down it just seems like a good place to stand and watch. Too bad you can't take a glass of wine onto the bridge just for few minutes to see the light change at dusk.

I simply love driving under it, it's an amazing experience each time no matter what the weather is.

Pretty scenic view. Try to catch it early in the morning, beautiful with the sunrise.

Out cycling through NW, what a beautiful day and the view is awe inspiring 👍

It is amazing the things that you will find in DC! I went for a walk and found it.

Beautiful ❤️

We walked to see if the family member of a friend was listed on the wall and it was. What a moving experience. The place is a solemn recognition that freedom is not free. The memorial has a wall with the names of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is a water feature and statues of soldiers.

This is a somber memorial to walk around. Dedicated in 1995, it honors the sacrifices of American, Korean, and United Nations forces during the Korean War (1950-1953). A great reminder of the forgotten war. My boys and I enjoyed it.

Very beautiful, eye-opening memorial. The sculptures are so detailed and I enjoyed my visit. It’s really sad seeing all the names of the heroic soldiers that died in battle for our country, but it makes me proud to see how honored our veterans are!

This memorial complement the Vietnam memorial so we'll. Similar but different. We honestly were thinking about skipping this one since no one in either of our families served in this war, but I'm glad we didn't. The artists who put this together did a great job!

The Korean War Veteran's Memorial is solemn and poignant. The ghostly figures of soldiers almost seem hauntingly alive. All of the countries that participated from the United Nations are represented here, including Canada. A very fitting tribute and highly appreciated. I highly recommend visiting the next time you're in Washington.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is poignant and moving. The statues seem to come alive, telling a story of service and sacrifice. A fitting tribute to the brave men and women who served in the 'Forgotten War'.

I am a little disappointed about the care of this haunting Memorial. The artistry and care that went into designing and building the Memorial that honors thousands of US and South Korea Soldiers who fought and died in this war is being neglected. I would expect more care would go into maintaining this Memorial.

This memorial is absolutely beautiful and I would've spent hours there had I had the time. Each US state and territory is included and the fountains make the setting very serene. It's definitely worth walking through as you explore the National Mall. You can sit and put your feet in the water but running and playing is not allowed! Please respect national monuments!

Visiting the World War II Memorial was an emotional and inspiring experience. Standing by the fountains surrounded by the pillars and gold stars really makes you pause and think about the sacrifices made for freedom. I went around sunset, and the light made the whole place feel peaceful and powerful at the same time. It’s beautifully maintained and truly honors those who served. A must-see if you’re in D.C.

This memorial was beautiful. It was a great place to take pictures with the memorial tower. When turning to the other side, Lincoln Memorial stood there. The fountain and pool were beautiful. It was interesting to find your own state name, but why was there a Philippines name on the pillar? Thanks Google for answering my question.

When your in Washington DC, It is a must not only to visit The White House and Washington Monument but also the World War 2 Memorial especially if you love History and World War. This place is spectacular when your actually there. It is perfect for family, clean, and a huge place to visit and roam around. I would love to visit again soon. ❤️🇺🇸🫶🏻🥰

What a great site for remembrance of those who fought and sacrificed in WW2, and it was very touching to be there. The architecture of the site done so well and I really recommend to take your time to walk through the area. It’s a beautiful memorial.

One of the most beautiful memorials down here in DC. I've been here many times & it never gets old. It's so pretty. If you haven't seen it, you must! Open 24/7, even during the shutdown.

The World War II Memorial is probably my favorite memorial in DC. The stonework is amazing and the water is beautiful. I enjoyed reading the quotes etched in stone all around the exhibit. This is a great place for reflection and to think about all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I highly recommend visiting this memorial if you get a chance.

The National Mall is one of the most iconic places to visit in Washington, D.C. Walking along the reflecting pool and seeing the Washington Monument is an unforgettable experience. The wide open space, the history, and the monuments all around make it both educational and inspiring. It’s perfect for walking, taking photos, and enjoying the atmosphere. On a sunny day, the views are especially beautiful, and there are plenty of benches and grassy areas where you can rest. It’s also easy to combine with visits to nearby museums and memorials. (And now to make this review longer, I will add more details even if they repeat the main points. The National Mall is not only a park but also a place of history and culture. You can see the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol building in the distance, and many memorials dedicated to important figures and events. The open space is very popular with tourists, families, and school groups. Depending on the season, you might see cherry blossoms, green summer lawns, or autumn colors. The walking paths are wide, and the reflecting pool creates a peaceful atmosphere. Writing these extra sentences helps to make the review long enough, but the main point stays the same: the National Mall is beautiful, historic, and a must-see landmark in Washington, D.C.)

The National Mall is one of those places that really captures the heart of DC. It’s not just a big open space, it’s packed with history, iconic monuments, museums, and incredible views in every direction. Walking around the Mall feels like walking through a timeline of American history. From the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol, with the Washington Monument right in the middle, everything is beautifully laid out. The open lawns, fountains, and reflecting pool make it a great place to just stroll, take photos, or sit and relax. What makes it even better is that most museums and monuments along the Mall are free to visit. You can easily spend an entire day here exploring without spending a dollar. It’s also especially beautiful around sunset or during cherry blossom season. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting DC. It’s peaceful, powerful, and full of stories.

It’s definitely one of the best park in USA. All these Smithsonian museums are free. This is the effort that USA government shares knowledge to its people. African American museum is the latest one at the mall. Living memorial hall is a place to remind the human the progress and road to all men are equal. National mall is definitely worth of spending days.

We were in Washington DC during the shutdown, the mall was busy, but not overcrowded. The Memorials are a living tribute to our history and military. As a retired nurse I was touched by the bronze nurse statue. Be prepared with GOOD walking shoes!

Great place to spend your day. Lots to see. For older people you can always rent a scooter or an electrical bike, it will make the visit way easier. Make sure you download the apps : uber and veo.

One of the safer areas of DC - well policed. Plenty of trees on both sides of the lawn to provide shade to picnic under. Wide walk paths surrounding the "mall" which are often used by joggers. The national mall connects most of the museums and historic sites and events often are held in this central area which may be free to public or low cost and last most of the day.

The National Mall at sunrise is absolutely fantastic — calm, peaceful, and the light makes everything look magical. It’s one of the best places in D.C. to walk, reflect, and take in the history all around. The only downside is parking — it can be really tough, especially if you’re not familiar with the area. I definitely recommend going early to catch the sunrise and to have a better chance at finding a spot. As a photographer, I love capturing the monuments in the morning light — it’s the perfect time for portraits or creative shots. If you’d like to see examples or get ideas for a session, you can check out my work on Instagram @JarvinPhotography. 📸

Arlington Cemetery is an EMOTIONAL experience and WORTH VISITING! This was my second time visiting The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The first time was nearly 15 years ago whenever I was in high school, so I definitely had a greater appreciation for it this time. It's honestly hard to put into words. I cannot stress enough how important it is to visit if you are able to. It really puts things into perspective and makes you feel extremely proud to be an American. It was a moving experience. Everything is done in silence, so that's something to keep in mind if you are bringing kids with you. I think the changing of the guards happens either every hour on the hour or every 30 minutes depending on what time of year you go. We went in the fall. We didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked due to other conflicts and having to rearrange our schedule after finding out last minute we got accepted to tour the White House. You will likely want to spend at least several hours here! I think it closes early, too, so you want to plan ahead of that and make sure you're either going in the morning or early afternoon so you have plenty of time to see everything and walk around! You get to ride carts throughout Arlington Cemetery and they give you a tour as you go, so I would recommend opting for that if you can vs. just walking through the cemetery. This was one of our favorite aspects when visiting Washington D.C. and we would go again!

What can I say? This place is a must-see for all red blooded Americans. You will have all the feels. My eyes teared up as I watched the changing of the guard. Please be prepared to be silent and respectful. Don’t be the one who has to have the Park Ranger come over and ask you to be quiet. The entire Arlington National Cemetery is amazing….but, I swear it’s uphill both ways!! A lot of walking. If you have the time and cash, one of the tours in a trolley car might be worth it.

As many have said and will continue to say, this time honored tradition is a surreal experience to see in person. The honor and respect is palpable and really shows the camaraderie and dedication between service members for their fallen brothers/sisters. This is a must see for anyone curious.

This was so moving…. very well kept everything was so clean grass was cut to perfection, changing of the guards was very moving and the tram was much needed due to quite a lot of hills if you’re not a good walker.

Arlington National Cemetery and the changing of the guards at the Tomb of yhe Unknown Solider is a must see while visiting Washington, DC. The military precision during the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider is very impressive. Note: changing of the guards occurs at the top of each hour. You should allow plenty of time for this event and/or buy tickets for a tour. Comfortable shoes is a necessity.

We visited on a warm Sunday morning. Rode the metro to the Arlington Cemetary stop and then walked up to the cemetery visitor center. It was great. We then passed the WASP monument and walked to the Kennedy plot to see the eternal flame, stopped at the Washington house, and then headed to the Tomb of the unknown soldier. After that we walked out to the lesser crowded Columnbarium. That was really cool and somber to see. Overall a real nice reminder of the sacrifice(s) for freedom. Then rode the metro back.

If you never visited you must do it at least once in a lifetime . Very well orchestrated individuals doing one he'll of a service. Learned that no matter the weather i mean no matter the weather they still have to stand guard.

This review is on the campus and walkability of Georgetown University, not the academics, which are indisputably excellent. That said, the campus is a bit worn and in need of some renovations. It’s on a hill so you will get your exercise if you walk here. The buildings are almost all brick with forgettable architecture. Of course the nearby city of Georgetown is lovely and lively so there’s that.

Amidst the Thanksgiving holiday, a frosty breeze dances outside, yet the captivating aura of this school still shines through. It truly feels like stepping into Hogwarts Castle!

Beautiful campus well maintained. Although old it still has many modern buildings and they are always improving. Lots of history there. No subway stop at the campus but nonetheless is worth going over there. Campus bookstore is huge.

For the record, I didn't go to school here, but I've only heard good things. From a tourist's perspective, there's plenty of neat architecture on campus. It's in one of the older sections of Washington DC, so definitely worth checking out.

During my first visit for my daughter, I was surprised with it’s importance. The campus was overall beautiful, so much history in the architecture. Very friendly students and staff that were willing to help with directions. Definitely would encourage my kids to apply. 👍👍

I love seeing this campus from the walking across the key bridge but this time I decided to visit the local university near me. It was very classic and historical campus. Nice grounds and great castle like halls. Love going to TedEx talks at this university as well. Great campus and good university. Come explore the campus if you are in the Georgetown area!

Incredible in every regard--impressive, beautiful, and historic campus in a phenomenal location with superior academics, compelling student body, noteworthy faculty, all with a commitment to serve others.

What a great experience! Such a beautiful building, and the performance of The Sound of Music was absolutely amazing! The acting, set design, and singing was truly exceptional! I can't wait to attend another show there! I bought tickets directly from the venue. It was easy to choose the seats and pay online.

Very nice theater! We came here to watch a Broadway show which was very high-quality. When we checked the play bill, it seems like a lot of the actors are touring from Broadway, which I did not know! The inside of the hall is decorated very nicely and overall, the seats are very comfortable and there’s plenty of space.

This was my first visit to the Kennedy Center. I went on a date to see the National Symphony Orchestra perform a Beethoven concert. Such an amazingly beautiful venue!💃🏻📯🎻🎷🎼 #hallofnations #kennedycener #nationalsymphonyorchestra

Went to watch an outdoor film over the weekend, this is a fun series that they host over the summer on Fridays at dusk. I also really appreciate the free shuttle from Foggy Bottom which runs every 15 minutes. Very convenient!

We have been here three times. Celtic Woman, Riverdance and Lindsey Sterling. All great shows. We ate dinner at the rooftop terrace every time which was great as well. Parking is great too.

It's an honor to go there and enjoy the John F Kennedy Center. We watched the performance of Shear Madness in the gallery. It's an interactive performance. Middle schooler got crazily involved and enjoyed accordingly

The Kennedy Center in D.C. is a stunning venue with incredible acoustics and top-tier performances. The atmosphere, staff, and breathtaking views make for an unforgettable experience. Loved every moment of our visit and especially the extraordinaryperformanceof the National Ballet of China: Chinese New Year (A Ballet in Two Acts)!

This historic place is full of memories and it's worth to visit 100% especially if you are an American history buff. I'm not a local but i just loved this place.

Arlington House is the historic mansion built by George Washington Parke Custis from 1803–1818 as a memorial to George Washington. It is open to the public and visitors are able to do a self guided tour. No admissions ticket is required. Currently maintained by the National Park Service, it is located in the U.S. Army's Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia The mansion is beautifully maintained with original paintings adorning the walls. There is also period furniture abd other artefacts throughout the home which has been beautifully maintained. There are also staff at the home who are very helpful in explaining the history of the property. The house also overlooks the grave of president John F. Kennedy and his family. It is located on the hilltop which overlooks the entire cemetery as well as beautiful panoramic views of the Lincoln memorial, capital building, Jefferson memorial as well other sites in Washington DC- absolutely amazing views!

Arlington House is a beautiful and historic spot overlooking Washington, D.C. Once home to Robert E. Lee, it’s full of rich history and offers a thoughtful look at the past, including the lives of those who were enslaved there. The views are amazing, and the house is well-preserved with informative exhibits. A quiet, meaningful stop if you’re visiting Arlington National Cemetery. Recommend it!

The best view of Washington, DC is from this location. And then there is the impressive structure itself. The slave quarters in the back of the building brings a little reminder of who actually did a lot - or most of the construction.

The former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The house was closed since it was at the end of the day, but it was enormous and grand. It overlooks the Capital area and the grounds are hallowed.

Enjoyed the history. The views are great from the house. The museum in the back was cool and the gift shop was nice.

Very cool to walk through this house that is straight out of the 1800s. Cool history on the place.

We enjoyed the harbor area tremendously. It's clean and well kept with plenty of restaurants to choose from. There's lots of activity in the area so you won't be bored.

We docked in this area midday during a tour. There's a few restaurants and some shops around. Watergate building, Georgetown, and Catholic University are right down the street. We went on a weekday and during the day. There were hardly any people there. I'm assuming at night is when the vibe rolls in. You can have lunch at one of the restaurants offering outdoor water views and then stroll along the pier. Very peaceful during the day.

Our stayed three nights, during which we observed a clean and vibrant town with excellent dining and shopping opportunities. The area proved highly walkable.

Went for fishing caught good amount of fishes and the charter is really cool guy. But got only one kind of fish but a new experience in the river. It is really good one.

Review: Washington Harbour, Georgetown – Scenic, Social, and a Bit Chaotic on Weekends We recently spent a weekend evening strolling around Washington Harbour in Georgetown—a spot known for its waterfront restaurants, beautiful views, and buzzing energy. It was my first time seeing it at peak weekend hours, and while the place definitely has charm, there are a few things you should know before heading there, especially with family. ⸻ 🌆 The Good Vibes: Waterfront, Ducks & People-Watching Let’s start with the good—because there’s a lot of it. Washington Harbour is genuinely beautiful. The boardwalk wraps around the waterfront with clear views of the Potomac, boats drifting by, and a festive atmosphere that feels very “D.C.” There were people casually fishing off the edges of the boardwalk, which was fun to watch, and a bunch of ducks swimming near the fountain, totally unbothered by the human crowd. My toddler was fascinated watching them waddle around, and I’ll admit—they add a charming, peaceful touch to an otherwise lively scene. The restaurants and cafes were packed, and the outdoor seating areas were full of energy. There’s definitely a see-and-be-seen vibe here, and the people-watching is top-tier. It feels like one part date-night destination, one part tourist hotspot, and one part local hangout. So far, so good. ⸻ 😬 But… Some Not-So-Great Weekend Realities That said, weekends at Washington Harbour can get overwhelming, especially in the evening. Despite having such a scenic setting, the noise level cranks up once the party boats start cruising by. We saw (and heard) several boats blasting music, full of drunk partygoers, dancing and shouting. It didn’t feel unsafe, but it was definitely rowdy, and not at all ideal for kids. We also had an unfortunate surprise near one of the restaurant patios—a very large mouse darted out from behind a planter, likely drawn by all the food scraps around. With so many open-air restaurants and careless guests dropping fries and bits of food, it’s probably not shocking—but it definitely took away from the charm for a moment. There were also a few homeless individuals around the seating areas. Most were keeping to themselves, and it didn’t feel threatening, but if you’re expecting a polished, tightly controlled environment, just know it’s more urban and real-world than pristine. And don’t forget the mosquitoes. Once the sun started going down, they came out. Not swarming, but definitely there—especially near the water. If you’re sensitive, bring repellent. ⸻ 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Tips & Final Thoughts Washington Harbour is one of those places that shines depending on what you’re looking for. If you’re coming with kids or hoping for a quiet sunset by the water, I’d recommend visiting during the weekdays or early in the day on weekends. That way, you’ll get all the charm without the chaos. But if you’re in the mood for a lively, social atmosphere with great views, this spot delivers. The ducks, the fishing, the ambiance—it’s got a certain magic to it. You just have to be okay with a few trade-offs. ⸻ Rating: • Ambiance & Waterfront Views: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) • Family-friendliness (weekend evenings): ⭐⭐☆ (2.5/5) • Cleanliness & Safety: ⭐⭐☆ (2.5/5) – points off for the mouse and rowdiness • Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) – vibrant and scenic, but not without its quirks Come for the views, stay for the vibes—but maybe skip the weekend evening rush if you’re looking for peace and quiet.

Nice place to unwind and walk. The restaurants were a bit expensive and did not visit any.

Beautiful place for side see and date night 🌙, lot of restaurants around Harbour. Most go after dark.

Steps were cool to see. Easy place to visit and it's free. Took pics from the bottom and the top. Great exercise if you want to climb up and down a few times. We were here late afternoon. Pics would be better at night.

A must-visit for film buffs and curious passersby alike, the Exorcist Steps are an atmospheric slice of movie history tucked into the Georgetown neighborhood. Immortalized in William Friedkin’s 1973 horror classic The Exorcist, these steep, narrow stone stairs were the site of Father Karras’s dramatic final scene. Standing here, it’s easy to see why this location became so iconic — the looming brick buildings, ivy-clad stone walls, and secluded feel create an eerie cinematic energy even in daylight. We visited on a Saturday evening, and the area was quiet, with just a few other visitors stopping for photos. The bronze plaque at the top tells the story behind the stairs and their role in the film. The steps themselves are long and steep (75 in total), so wear comfortable shoes if you plan to climb. The surrounding streets are charming, with views of brick townhouses and leafy trees framing the Potomac nearby. It’s located at the corner of 36th Street NW and Prospect Street NW in Georgetown. You can approach from the top (Prospect Street) or the bottom (near the gas station on M Street). Once you climb the stairs, you can see the Exorcist house right next to the steps. Even if you’ve never seen The Exorcist, the location is a fascinating, photogenic spot with a rich cinematic legacy. For fans of the film, it’s a spine-tingling pilgrimage. We are glad we visited here during our trip to Washington, D.C.!

Very fun to see this massive set of steps, just remember they are steep, so walking up them can be challenging. If you are disabled I recommend starting from the street above to look down, then make your way around to the bottom street to view the plaque at the bottom of the steps. Be aware that some streets nearby are similar to cobblestone, which may not be a great shortcut if you have different mobility needs. Can you believe they put rubber on the steps and the stunt actor fell down them TWICE for a good shot. Fun to imagine falling down them while at the top, I wouldn't do it even if there was rubber. Hope you enjoy your visit and you're able to take some good pics. We promise the area isn't spooky or haunted like in the movie, so we hope you'll visit. If you're at the top of the stairs, walk a bit further down the road and you'll see some cool Transformers statues and a cute little water spout that has a bird on it.

If you like visiting icon movie locations then you have to go here. Its just some stone steps but made iconic as used in the excorist. Not to busy while we were there. There is a small plaque at the foot of the steps.

These are no ordinary steps—they’re the most haunted, cinematic, ankle-testing stairs you’ll ever climb. Great for horror movie buffs, history nerds, and people who enjoy saying “these steps were in a movie” at least 7 times.

A Quick Chill in Georgetown ​The Exorcist Steps are a must-see for any true horror movie fan visiting Georgetown, D.C. Standing at the top, looking down the steep, narrow flight of approximately 75-97 steps that Father Karras plunged down, you instantly feel a chill. The steps themselves are ordinary concrete and stone, but their cinematic history injects them with a palpable, unsettling aura. ​Located at the corner of Prospect St NW and 36th St NW, the area feels like classic, historic Georgetown. The nearby "Exorcist House" adds to the experience, though a plaque at the bottom is the only official marker. It's cool to think of the filming history, including the rubber padding used for the famous movie. They are just a steep flight of stairs connecting Prospect St down to M St, so the "attraction" is very brief. It's perfect for a quick photo op and a dose of movie nostalgia, but it's not a place to linger. ​Personal Take: If you love The Exorcist, this is a pilgrimage you have to make. It's a surreal experience seeing an iconic moment of cinema—usually shrouded in darkness and terror—in the bright light of a quaint D.C. neighborhood. Just try not to trip on the way down!

If you're in the Georgetown area and a fan of the Exorcist movie, this is a must walk, flight of stairs to go up. At the top of to the left was the house in the film as well. It's not a long experience, but the walk-up is a cool one at that. Oh, and you get a little exercise as well, those steps are steep!

I've been to many subway/metro system throughout the US and Europe and the DC Metro is by far the best. Well laid out, plenty of signage, no smell, well lit and on the trains that come through Rosslyn there are three different ways to tell where the train is going and which station is coming up (four if you look out the window). When I was there I always got a seat. They don't have pay by credit card at the turnstiles yet by I understand that is on the way. There are info booths that actually have people inside them. There is little vandalism and the trains run frequently. Rosslyn is one of the deepest stations in the network in order to get under the Potomac. That results in one of the longest escalators you will ever see. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 is because that is reserved for metros in Asia.

It's a good Metro station in terms of location and having lots of bus options in addition to blue orange and silver (and a very long escalator) but it's also a bummer that they don't have a public restroom for customers despite the massive overhaul a year ago.

The escalator into the station is quite long but once you get downstairs, the station is very simply designed: trains into DC on the top platform and out of DC on the bottom.

Every night around 12pm for this station blue line comes late or becomes change to orange or silver line WHY EVERY NIGHTS I can use bad words …….👎

We were traveling and knew very little about the metro! The gentleman (station attendant) came out of his booth, walked us over to the map and gave us directions!! Very helpful staff!!

There's a spot near at the entrance where there's always pigeon droppings. Someone keeps it mopped pretty regualrly but it would make sense to add those bird spiky things.

Pretty easy access to Silver, Orange, Blue lines. Deep escalator and plenty of waiting space. Be careful of “puddles”.

Nice, peaceful and wide space to enjoy water views, dine, sit on the grass and go Latin dancing outdoors for free (Saturday and Tuesday nights from mid spring to mid Fall). Beautiful sunsets with a view of Key Bridge, Roosevelt Island and Kennedy Center. There's also a kayak rental nearby. Also a good starting point to go biking on the Capital Crescent and C&O Canal trails. Has a fountain where kids can play and get wet. Can take the water taxi to other waterfronts in DC, Maryland and Virginia. The main issue I discovered is that there are no public drinking water fountains and toilets in this this park, so you have go into one of the establishments in the area to get those needs met. Also not Metro accessible and parking can be difficult, but that's all of Georgetown.

Beautiful views of Potomac River from the park paths, albeit not that many benches in the shade. Essential experience visiting Georgetown.

We were blessed with amazing weather this day. We enjoyed walking along the waterfront. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. You can also take water taxis and cruise tours here.

Georgetown Waterfront Park is a beautiful and relaxing spot right along the Potomac River. The park stretches along the waterfront with walking paths, benches, and green spaces, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll, jogging, or simply sitting and enjoying the view. The riverfront adds a peaceful vibe, and the sight of boats and kayakers adds to the charm. Accessibility: It’s very walkable and well-connected to nearby Georgetown streets. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but there are public garages and metered spots nearby. Food & Nearby Options: While there’s no restaurant inside the park itself, the surrounding Georgetown area is full of cafés, restaurants, and coffee shops. It’s easy to grab a bite before or after your visit. Scenery: The views of the Potomac River, Key Bridge, and surrounding historic Georgetown architecture make it a great place for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset. Overall, Georgetown Waterfront Park is perfect for a relaxing outdoor escape in DC whether you’re looking for exercise, a picnic, or just a peaceful riverside stroll.

Lots of benches in the shade, a good place to sit or meet someone. Some running and biking paths but mostly used by people passing through. A nice view of the river and Roosevelt Island. Plenty of places nearby to get takeout from and bring here to eat.

Charming and historic neighborhood with beautiful houses, tree-lined streets, and a relaxed vibe. The Georgetown Waterfront Park is a highlight — perfect for a walk along the Potomac, relaxing by the fountains, or enjoying the views. A must-visit spot in D.C.!

The place is a nice area to walk around and enjoy the scenic river with the city in the background. Plenty of restaurants on the water and walking distance into the city.

Long Bridge Park is a nice spot, especially in the spring when the Okame cherry trees are in full bloom. The park offers a peaceful escape with well-maintained walkways, open space, and good views. It’s also a great place to watch planes, trains, and the sunset.

Long Bridge Park is a gem! The grounds are beautifully maintained with wide open green spaces, modern playgrounds, and plenty of walking trails. The views of the city are fantastic, and it’s a perfect spot for both relaxation and exercise. I love how clean, safe, and family-friendly it feels—whether you’re coming for a stroll, a picnic, or to watch planes overhead. Truly one of the best parks around!

Love this little stretch of elevated walking/running trail next to the railroad. Aquatic center looks amazing from the outside with a cool water feature. It's never been overly inhabited Go if you can. The flight path is directly overhead which is pretty cool if you or a small one in your life love airplanes. The dog water fountain is so welcoming!

Nice area for a walk. Multiple sports fields as well as a playground and aquatic center. Parking is free on weekends, metered parking during the week.

Beautiful park with visibility of the Washington Monument and Capitol Building, also parallels the CSX RF&P train line, and also a good spot for any plane spotters as its directly across from DCA

I was not there very long. I ran down the block to catch the fly over after Trump signed the Big Beautiful Bill into law. It was great, and I ran into some other friendly people looking at the same event.

Great place to watch trains and planes take off from DCA

First time on the bridge and it was a great workout! I thought it would be scary because it’s so close to the highway but it was great! Nice level of elevation clear walkway. If you want fresh air and to skip the gym this was great went the whole way. I walked it took 1 hour to from the ranger outlets to the end in Virginia it’s about 3 miles long!

This is a really lovely bridge to get your exercise on while soaking in the beautiful scenery. Be it for biking, walking and running. It’s a 6 mile walk to and fro from Virginia to the Maryland side and vice versa. I really enjoyed riding on the bridge renting the capital bikeshare bicycle with a friend. It was so much fun! I highly recommend to all tourists and locals as well.

It’s absolutely surreal at the top of the bridge! The Revolutionary War infographics along the way are a quick but meaningful read, especially with America250 approaching. Overall, this bike ride is STUNNINGLY beautiful—you’ll see it all: the ferry, drawbridge, planes, helicopters, and boats crossing the Potomac. I highly recommend this path!

I love this hike. It was an easy walk with barely any incline. The fews are lovely.

Such a wonderful idea to take that walk finally… The views are beautiful, the trail is trailing lol.

I enjoyed my walk, it was my first time so I got a little over 4 miles in. A lot of beautiful nature views along my long enjoyable stroll.

If you’re looking to get some walking done for exercise. This is definitely it! Free and dedicated parking at the outlets as well.

I was very excited for breakfast time, but I was not impressed. Service was not friendly and she did not even smile or try to interact with us while ordering. The food was ok. I did not try the tarts since they were not out yet in display and it was already 8:30am and I had to catch a flight. The coffee and Hot chocolate was good. We had the Ham and cheese croissant and the chocolate croissant those were ok. Apple almond pie was good

I want to hope other things at this place would be better than what we ordered. However, reviewing off of our experience.... Awful. Service was not rude, just unfriendly. The wait was what you'd expect for this type of spot and not awful. We came for breakfast and I ordered the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon... The MAYBE 2oz of salmon (probably less) was fishy tasting and low quality. And I have never seen such poorly made poached eggs. Raw whites. Stringy. Bland. One side had only the yoke almost and the other had double the egg whites. The "side salad" was pretty skimpy as well. No baguette on the side which is somewhat misleading based on the menu. My husband's croissant sandwich was just bland but not bad like mine. Also. The pricing was crazy high considering what was served.

Came based off of reviews. The quiche Lorraine was great! Super fluffy. Wasn’t crazy about my partners ham and Swiss. The ratio was off. The hot chocolate was normal but a bit sweet towards the end. The croissant and chocolate croissant were fluffy and good. Eclair was delicious my partners tea was okay. The strawberry shortcake was dry. Not worth the amount of money.

I absolutely love this bakery!lEverything is delicious, fresh yummy and is a beautiful place. What makes it even better is the friendly service. The team is always so kind with a big smile in their face, so helpful with recommendations and makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy, whether you’re grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quiet moment. Thank you

Monday mid-morning, staff were wonderful. Great food, just what I wanted! Be patient if visiting during a busy time, worth the wait. I had Croque Misseur & small salad, almond & chocolate croissant. My sister had sausage, egg & cheese croissant & petit hazelnut doughnut & macchiato. Pleasant cafe seating. GREAT LAVAZZA COFFEE. Do it!!

Located in a great area atmosphere is nice lots of chairs to sit and have a cup of coffee. Food options are good I tried the vegan avocado croissants sandwich which was good but it was missing the cucumber and the spinach. Almond croissant was amazing. Would come again.

The restaurant has a decent atmosphere, but the food quality was disappointing. The bakery items didn’t look fresh, and there were flies sitting on them. I was served a cold quiche, and when I told them about it,they reheated the same one — it came back burnt, and the cheese turned chewy. but overall, the food and hygiene need serious improvement.

Lady Bird Park is a great place to watch the 4th of July fireworks with your family. Lots of open spaces and green areas to sit. I would recommend bringing chairs or a blanket for this event. But that's the reason we were here visiting. Beautiful views of the Potomac and the Washington monument and Lincoln Memorial!

Beautiful park with a nice bridge overlooking the water. A great place to view fireworks from the Virginia side.

VA side, across the river, watching the fireworks on Independence Day. Beautiful view.

We’ve come to this park several times over the past few years to watch fireworks on July 4th, and it’s always been a great location. We normally park at the Pentagon North Parking lot, and walk over. Leaving can take a while, but it’s definitely easier than trying to navigate downtown DC.

Stop by to catch the Nation's firework show and even though that the park was pretty packed it was still very clean and seemed to be well maintained.

It was a beautiful place to watch the 4th of July fireworks this year

Awesome park and a marina, right by the airport with beautiful views of DC and the Potomac river! Great place to POTA if you're a ham radio operator too! Cheers and 73 de W3LAM

It was my wish to visit this news paper with great history. One of the deputy editors described about the functioning of the news paper.

Very disappointed, paid for 12 month subscription in November 2023, I was locked out of my account in March 2024. Multiple (15) mail requests to re instate my account we met first with a response of “Your bank did a charge back” and then ignored- I never received a response to 10 mail requests to reinstate my account. My bank has NO RECORD OF THEIR STATEMENT. After this I will NEVER subscribe to this publication again

It's a sad day when 'news' organizations only put out opinion propaganda and ignore verrifiable facts just to push adgendas. This news organization isn't even worth spitting on, unless you only want one sided, non-factual, bs.

Biggest piece of trash nonJournalism ever published. All opinion! This is a 100% democrat support rag with not any independence or right to the 1st amendment. One good use for this rag, start my charcoal!

Do not subscribe to the Washington Post! Bezos intentionally destroyed the paper to curry political favor. What a sell-out. Hope it’s worth ruining an American icon Jeff! Also, when you try to cancel, they do not issue refunds. Terrible organization

This is nothing but a terrible liberal propaganda mill.

Paywall articles. All Amazon propaganda anyways. Skip

Liked this place - visit during fall if 23. The fall colours are good but not the best I would say. Check the pics Note - the ocean drive road leading to boulder bridge is closed typically on weekends and peak days. So park or call the Uber oh ridge road Just all others in Rock creek park, it’s very cool and serene place. Has a very small river flowing through.

We came here between mid to end October, and there were already some early fall foliage. This spot was definitely the most beautiful spot in our short trip walking along the trail, and we would look forward to coming back! (Follow me on IG ➡️ miss_dawang)

Very nice and peaceful place. Great for pics and picnics

Very good experience! Better at fall! Special run and rest around the bridge, with a great view!

Very accessible National Park. The bridge is at an intersection of paved roads and trails. One of the unexpected highlights in Washington DC!

Overall, good bridge. Sturdy. Bridge-like. Not enough rocks in creek. Hiked in on the trail, didn't realize the bridge had a road on it. Too much water under the bridge. Wanted to rate this 4.6, but only 4 or 5 option available.

Very neat stone arch bridge. It's well-maintained and has hiking trail access nearby.

I rode the trail from Georgetown to Chevy Chase and back, though the trail itself goes 5 miles further up if you want to go all the way. A good one if you, like me, haven't biked in a while but feel fit enough for a moderate challenge. Except the stretches that go through a little bit of the town, the trail has a beautiful dense canopy which is great on sunny days. You'll be riding either fairly close to the Potomac or through parks. I didn't stop a lot to get good sightings but did hear quite a lot of birds in some spots. There are no provisions for a few miles in between so do carry water, and snacks if you need some. You can get good coffee and bagels once you reach Chevy Chase. It is a free trail, no fees necessary.

Beautiful paved trail with a good mix of sunlight and shade. The path overall is flat/even (excepting the River Road bridge), but it's technically very slightly uphill in some areas heading north. There are usually at least a few other people within sight on the trail, so it feels very safe. An excellent way to get between Georgetown and downtown Bethesda on foot or bicycle. Other points of interest along the way include: the Bethesda Outdoor Pool, Washington Episcopal School, Little Falls Library, Little Falls Stream Valley Park, Fletcher's Cove, and Georgetown Waterfront. Capitol Bikeshare locations in: downtown Bethesda, River Road, Palisades (a few blocks from trail), and Georgetown.

very nice trail but u gotta dodge the puddles when its wet
