    What's prettier than the White House, the Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian put…read moretogether? Yes, Ariana Grande is a good answer, but I was looking for the Executive Office on 17th St! A long time ago, the love of my life used to say that this building was the highlight of her trips to DC, and I can see why. I remember walking with her in the pouring rain next to it, and taking pictures of her exposing herself in front of it. Times change... But this building never did. It's glorious and resplendent. It reminds me of something in France, but better kept, perhaps. It looks palatial. If the White House is a little underwhelming then this executive office is completely awe-inspiring. It's level with the Capitol as my favourite building in the DC area, and is the easiest 5-star rating I've given since my Cousin Daniel got drunk and showed me the ropes.

    Didn't really have a lot of time to roam around Pennsylvania Ave. And my friend and I, being…read moreslightly less than ignorant didn't know that the BACK of the WHITE HOUSE would be on Pennsylvania Ave. ** Not impressed** So our pictures we're not exactly anythng to brag about. So we decided to take pictures in front of the Executive Office of the President where the FRONT of this architecture was much more impressive than the BACK of the White House on Pennsylvania Ave. Still a great experience to roam DC and take in the history and political side of the US. (You don't get much of that or appreciate it as much coming from the west coast. Hence, the ignorance of the FRONT vs the BACK of the WHITE HOUSE. =X)

The memorials are diverse works of art and this temple is no exception The fours score and seven steps that lead to the "Lincoln moment" is one of the truly sacred places in our country. Every American should visit and read two of the three most important American speeches (along with dr kings which was delivered from this spot) Truly beautiful breathtaking architecture Be grateful america!

Walking up the wide marble steps, I felt the structure massive but still strangely quiet, even with crowds constantly moving through the space. The open design gave me uninterrupted views back across the Reflecting Pool toward the Washington Monument, and that long visual axis made the entire area feel far bigger than it looks in photos. The atmosphere shifted depending on the time of day too. I visited around sunset and then again at night, and the monument took on a much calmer, more reflective feeling. Inside, the enormous seated statue of Abraham Lincoln became the center of everything. The chamber felt intentionally restrained, with the focus pulled toward the scale of the sculpture and the inscriptions carved into the walls around it. I stood there for a while just taking in the weight of the space. The experience around the memorial was surprisingly fluid for such a major landmark. There was enough open space that people naturally spread out, whether they were sitting on the steps, taking photos near the Reflecting Pool, or slowly reading the speeches engraved into the walls. Even with heavy tourist traffic, the space still managed to feel respectful rather than chaotic, partly because of how open and symmetrical everything is laid out.

    A free and excellent view of Downtown Washington DC can be viewed from the Old Post Office and…read moreClock Tower, which is the 3rd tallest structure in DC. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it was completed in 1899. This is attached to the (now) Waldorf Astoria, however the Tower is manned by the National Parks Service. The entrance is in the back of the hotel, and the elevator looks out into the hotel's atrium. When you reach the open air top floor, you'll look out for a 360 degree view. One lonely park ranger is up there, and they are there year-round. When we visited, it was completely empty and we had the space to ourselves (and the ranger).

    Actual rating: 3.5/5…read more Ok so in fairness, I have never cared for panoramic views. I came here with my friends on a day trip to DC after seeing a post about this place on social media. The entrance to the this place to see the views is incredibly tricky to access. The Waldorf took over and shut down the way to access through the building so you'll have to walk around and find the nearly completely hidden from street view entrance. For ease, I have linked the approximate location from Apple Maps below. There is a small historic background museum when you enter following the bag search and this is part of the National Parks stamping service so if you collect those speak with the nice ranger on duty. There are two elevators to travel to get to the top, the first takes you up to see views of the Astoria and the second will show you the rooftop from the Old Post Office Tower. This view is obscured by bars that make photography challenging. Would I, who does not like views, come again? No. But!!! If you are into views this is quite nice and free so I would recommend.
