We prefer to take guests on the nighttime tour of the monuments. You can see the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the reflecting pool, the World War II memorial, the FDR memorial, the White House and the Washington monument within a good walking distance. The monuments take on a more solemn feeling at night. You can hire a tour guide or walk around on your own. Closest metro: Orange Line at Federal Triangle
