Individual Trip or Package Tour? Enjoy Your Travel with the Right Plan<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Lincoln Memorial is an iconic and must-visit spot in Washington, D.C. It is a magnificent Greek-style monument dedicated to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.<\/p>\r\n

If you’re on an individual trip or a free plan, I highly recommend going inside the memorial. Inside, you’ll find a towering statue of President Lincoln, silently gazing towards the Washington Monument to the east and the United States Capitol beyond.<\/p>\r\n

On the adjacent wall, you’ll find inscriptions of Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address, commemorating his speeches during the Civil War and second term as president.<\/p>\r\n

Just down the staircase from the entrance, you’ll also find a plaque commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.’s sermon delivered during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Take a moment to appreciate it as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re on a package tour, you might not have enough time to go inside the memorial. In that case, after viewing the Lincoln Memorial from the outside, turn around and take in the view. You’ll see a vast pool that, on calm days, reflects the Washington Monument and the changing seasons of trees planted to the south and north, known as the Reflecting Pool.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
