Of course no visit to DC would be complete without a visit to see Lincoln, I went in the evening to see everything lit up and found less of a crowd but I was upset to see the iconic steps in front of Lincoln were having work done on them. So sadly I could not stand where Martin Luther king Jr stood when he delivered his iconic speech. However, it is still incredibly impressive to see and I have to say Americans know how to do a memorial as there are many other memorials in the vicinity that are also worth admiring. Definitely not to be missed if you’re in DC, I’d love to be able to live local and walk around the mall and the memorials whenever I pleased!

We went around 7 p.m. and it was the best part of our trip to DC. We could see the Washington Monument and The Capitol from the Lincoln Memorial. It was beautiful. We spent some time near the statute of President Lincoln.

My husband and I are big Lincoln fans so I knew he needed to see this memorial. I myself have seen this when I was much younger so now that I'm a bit older it was great to experience it again! Unfortunetly, the memorial was under construction so that was a bit disappointed but the statue and main area where Lincole sits was not. It wasn't too busy and it was fun to see people dancing on the stairs leading up to the memorial. Its such a great likeness of him with all of this famous quotes around him. They do have a little gift shop there but there is also another one with more things just a bit aways away which is where we found what we were looking for. This is a must see in DC!

The memorial is nice, you'll need to take some steps to get to it. The statue is very big, there is information about him and the history on the wall. You can see the Washington monument from here through refection pool. I visited here on a Tuesday afternoon, it wasn't crowed.

Even for us Canucks, this edifice is not just impressive in size, but meaning for the histories of both our countries. After absorbing the magnificent statue we’ve seen in many films, take the time to reread the Gettysburg Address on the left of this simple space, and Lincoln’s second inaugural address on the right. Then step down the stairs in front to where Martin Luther King gave his “I have a dream speech,” and enjoy this vista over reflecting pond down the Washington Monument.

It is one of the most spectacular monuments we have ever seen. As the name suggests it is devoted to the 16th president of the USA, Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 and two years later Congress incorporated the Lincoln Monument Association to build a memorial. The Lincoln Memorial stands on the National Mall. From the Lincoln Memorial you can have a wonderful view on the Washington Memorial and the reflecting pools. I would recommend visiting it in the evening, too. It looks really spectacular. All memorials in Washington are free of costs.

The Lincoln Memorial is a powerful symbol of American history in the heart of Washington, D.C. The imposing statue of Abraham Lincoln and the serene Reflecting Pool create a solemn yet awe-inspiring atmosphere. It's a must-visit, offering a brief but impactful glimpse into the nation's values and leadership.

Always worth a visit when in DC. There’s construction underway so half the stairway leading up to the memorial is closed. This means that the place where Martin Luther King Jr gave his legendary speech is not currently able to be seen. I sincerely hope that when the construction is complete, that location is given the focus it deserves as previously it was lost.

The Lincoln Memorial has always been my favorite memorial in D.C. and it's likely because Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents. It's a stunning tribute to him and it's a very thought-provoking place to be, even when it's absolutely crowded. The architecture of the building itself is gorgeous and that is only enhanced by the statue of Lincoln himself. My favorite way of seeing this is it lit up at night and the memory of that is one that I will keep with me forever. It's a beautiful memorial and one you should make sure to see once in your life.

We visited twice, once on our own in the day time and later, on a night time tour. Both times it was crowded (though less so at night). In the day time it was very crowded, and it is worth patiently navigating your way through the crowds to view this impressive monument up close and take in the speech inscribed in stone, and other information about the 16th President. (A little useful tip: underneath, there are public toilets - not always easy to find in US cities).
