Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool

Highlight • Monument

The Lincoln Memorial and adjoining reflecting pool are another must-see when visiting Washington. Of course, the mall is perfect for a run and early in the morning you have "Abe" all to yourself. After all, an advantage of the jet lag - getting up early in the first days is very easy!
