9 Essential Tips for Washington DC Monuments & Memorials

[@mikeywestside8509]

I wouldn't have been able to get around the DC mall without the circulator bus. It's very sad to hear that it's going away. I have visited DC three times and have enjoyed it immensely. Bikes and scooters would be the next best option unless the weather is bad.

Rob my friend, whenever I see you on the thumbnail, I click knowing that you are going to make my next trip to DC fantastic.

Nice 😀

I totally want a very leisurely solo, educational trip to DC. Like, for two weeks. Both professional tours and just wandering around the museums, and maybe staying at a nice hotel at the Wharf area.

[@TripHacksDC]

Sounds like a great trip to me.

@@TripHacksDC Ha ha! I'd definitely be on one of your tours! Thanks!

Thanks for the video! We appreciate the tips. We were looking for Tips for cheap eats around the National Mall video. We are going at the end of October 2024. Thanks for your help.

Take the walking tour of the Monuments with Rob! We did and it was great!

[@TripHacksDC]

It was fun to show your family the monuments!

Interesting. I'm in the area, and never thought about walking across the Memorial Bridge. I didn't know it was pedestrian friendly. Also, I did know about walking to the Jefferson Memorial from the Foggy Bottom station. I'll have to put that on my list.

[@TripHacksDC]

The bridge is but there are some crossings on their side where you have to be careful.

Tip 10 - know where the bathrooms are (and when they're open)

Hey Rob I’m thinking of a trip to return to DC with 2 friends next June or July. Would it be possible to acquire a tour with you?

[@TripHacksDC]

The tour calendar is usually opened about 2 months out so check back in the spring.

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

@@TripHacksDC Thank you Rob. Is May a busy month for tourism for your tours? I ask this question because I need to get a gague of whether or not I need to purchase 2 weeks in advance or whether or not I need to book 2 months in advance

I don’t understand the Circulator thing. Of course it was a budget drain being free…so maybe charge something even nominal as a fare to ride? The national mall is the perfect area to have a tram. The cars and buses could be restricted to the areas north and south of the mall and independence and constitution could be used for a (paid) tram. As a national park space it is unique, so either the NPS should be more creative or contract with a developer to have some commercial space. There’s tons of room for more kiosks, even as large as the size of the sculpture garden cafe, or it could otherwise construct some area with more commercial space (under the mall or at the old FBI building site or a large market hall type building along a newly closed to vehicles, pedestrian-only Pennsylvania Ave are options). How much better/easier would it be with these types of things available?
