Visit the Washington Monument, the 555-foot landmark rising above the National Mall in honour of George Washington, with a timed-entry ticket booked in advance, so there is no need to queue to buy tickets on the day. From the observation deck, enjoy panoramic 360-degree views across the nation's capital and spot famous landmarks such as the White House, the United States Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial and the Potomac River. Your ticket comes with a digital guidebook, available in English, Spanish and French, to help you identify the key sights and learn about the monument's history. Most visitors spend up to 30 minutes inside the monument, and every guest passes through security screening before entry, so allow extra time around your booked slot. For a deeper look at Washington DC, choose the option that adds a small-group guided walking tour of the memorials across the National Mall, led by a local expert.
