Half Day Washington DC Highlights Private Tour
The National Mall – the great swath of green in the middle of our capital city stretching from the foot of the United States Capitol to the Potomac River – is the premiere civic and symbolic space in our nation. For more than 200 years, the National Mall has symbolized our nation and its democratic values, which have inspired the world.
