===Government Buildings and Museums=== ====Capitol Hill==== *'''The Capitol'''- The public may tour the Capitol, see a House or Senate Session, observe a Committee hearing. For American citizens, guided tours of the Capitol may be reserved through representatives of Congress, and are conducted by congressional aids.

Officially termed by the National Park Service the National Mall & Memorial Parks, the term commonly includes the areas that are officially part of West Potomac Park and Constitution Gardens to the west, and often is taken to refer to the entire area between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol, with the Washington Monument providing a division slightly west of the center. ====[http://www.si.edu Smithsonian Museums]==== *''Postal Museum'''- Located across First Street from Union Station, the Postal Museum is one of the most overlooked museums of the Smithsonian. It's more than mere stamp collections; it's an unique lens through which to view American history and technological innovation. *'''National Museum of the American Indian'''- The building is among the newest additions to the National Mall. Its architecture is unlike any other structure in the District, comprised of organic curves and naturally rough surfaces, rather than the smooth columns of Roman style architecture or more modern angular constructions seen throughout downtown D.C. *[http://www.nga.gov/ National Gallery of Art]- The East Wing contains modern art, including works by Andy Warhol. *Air and Space *Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden *Arts and Industries *African Art *Freer and Sakler Galleries *The Castle *Natural History *American History- (Closed for renovation until Summer 2008) *National Archives *Navy Memorial *Holocaust Museum *Bureau of Engraving and Printing ====Potomac River Basin==== *Washington Monument *Jefferson Memorial *Lincoln Memorial *WWII Memorial *Roosevelt Memorial *Vietnam Memorial ====Arlington National Cemetery==== *JFK: The Eternal Flame *Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: The Changing of the Guard *Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts **Millennium Stage *Watergate Complex *National Zoo **Pandas *Embassy Row *National Cathedral *Eastern Market *International Spy Museum *Rock Creek Park *Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens *National Arboretum *Frederick Douglass House (Anacostia)
