Millions of people descend on the Mall every year. The key to an enjoyable visit is finding the right time to go.
The Korean War Veterans Memorial. By Fritz Hahn Fritz Hahn Reporter covering bars, drinks and nightlife for The Washington Post's Weekend section Email Bio Follow April 3 at 10:30 AM Millions of visitors descend on the Mall every year, touring the U.S. Capitol, posing for photos in front of the memorials, picnicking on the Washington Monument grounds.
The Washington Monument, as seen in the Reflecting Pool. Washington Monument Best time to visit: Afternoon The Jefferson Memorial itself is mostly a peaceful place, with visitors sitting on the sun-kissed marble steps, overlooking the water and the Washington Monument beyond, or marveling at the 19-foot statue of Thomas Jefferson inside. If you want to reflect on Jefferson’s words, or visit the small exhibition on the memorial’s lower level, it’s better to beat the rush of school groups.
There’s a lot of inspirational reading to be done at the most recent memorial to grace the Mall: The walls surrounding the 30-foot statue of Martin Luther King Jr. contain famous quotations from his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” his Nobel Prize acceptance speech and other notable works. Because of this — and because you’ll want to take photos — it’s easier to visit during daylight hours.
