This is a lovely statue, with steps, and temporary ramp access. There is no where to sit and enjoy the statue. Take your camera. Full review by Tigeriffic69

Lincoln is a charming, historic and delightful city to visit. Old cobbled streets, old buildings all threaded around the Cathedral and Castle. Lots of lovely individual shops, restaurants and cafes. … Full review by heathra

Beautiful monument at night. Very impressive to see in person. To look from there at the National Mall from the spot where Martin Luther King spoke to the crowd was emotional. There is some construct… Full review by 289wendyl

Honestly, take the metro into town and get off at the Smithsonian stop. That places you roughly in the middle of the National Mall. They have a red bus called the DC circulator that you can ride for free and it will take you to all of the major stops. Or you can take a stroll around to see all of the monuments and museums.
Hi, We will visit Washington this summer. How long did you take at each monument? We are staying close by so will probably start out really early to try and avoid the main crowds! We have to be at the Capitol Building for 10:15 and would like to get Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam and Washington monuments seen before that. We hope to be at the White House (just to take a picture and not stop) for 8:00. Do you think that would be sufficient time? We will be on foot but are all fit and healthy! Thank you! Bev

My opinion is No, that's not enough time, 20 minutes at each place is like running from place to place without actually paying much attention to what is there. I suppose, depending on how you sightsee, you could run up to it look it over quick, run to the next Monument. But I like to take it all in, walk around, read the information that is posted. I can't imagine being able to read anything about each place you are seeing at the speed with which you want to go. So I guess it depends on what you want to get out of it. Do you want to just look at the pretty building and keep moving? If so, sure, you can see all these things in that time. If you want to get more out of the experience while learning about each place... .you will need to allocate more time. Enjoy your visit!
Is it possible to see all the major monuments in D.C. in one day?

Pretty tough to get them all in. Worth researching, pick your top 3 or 4 and go from there if time allow. The Museum of natural history, Lincoln memorial, with the view of the mall,right …
Pretty tough to get them all in. Worth researching, pick your top 3 or 4 and go from there if time allow. The Museum of natural history, Lincoln memorial, with the view of the mall,right next door to the Vietnam wall, and the Botanical gardens are great stops on your way. Also fun to buy a knock off Rolex a block from the Whitehouse ;0)
Where do you park to view these memorials and monuments? What do you recommend?
A:
There's parking on either side of the Lincoln memorial, but it is very limited. We mostly used uber and "the hop on hop off" bus the whole time we were there.
