COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

A three day Washington DC itinerary will guarantee you hit the city’s highlights.

That may not be enough to enjoy everything this city has to offer, but if you schedule your time and plan well ahead of time you can definitely enjoy most of the attractions important to you.

The best place to start your 3-day Washington DC itinerary is at the National Mall. The Mall is a beautiful, landscaped area where most of the city’s spectacular museums are.

Museums on the National Mall

Established in 1937 by Congress for the people of the United States, the collection includes, among other works, the only Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Americas.

National Gallery of Art

Established in 2003, the museum houses more than 40,000 objects documenting the history of African-American culture in the United States. 

National Museum of African American History and Culture

The collection spans over 12,000 years of American Indian history. Make sure to start on the top floor and work your way down. The exhibits start with the history of the native Americans before the Europeans.

Museum of the American Indian

Start day one of your three day Washington DC itinerary with visits to one or more of the incomparable museums in the Mall then move on to Federal Circle.

Federal Circle is the area north of the National Mall packed with enormous government buildings in the Neoclassical architecture style. It’s fun to walk around the area and get lost in the broad avenues, massive buildings and soaring arches. Architecturally it is a very impressive area.
