🏛️ Strolling along the National Mall

A trip to Washington, D.C. always begins with the National Mall.

The expansive lawn, the Washington Monument towering above, and the Lincoln Memorial at its end are iconic scenes from the city. Walking along the pond, gazing at the monument's reflection, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a scene from American history.

🏠 White House

One of the most famous buildings in the world, the White House. From afar, the White House looked just like it did on TV and in movies, but seeing it in person gave it a strangely solemn yet special feeling. Security was tight, so I couldn't get close, but taking a photo in front of the building made me realize, "I'm truly at the center of American power."

🏛️ Capitol Building

Rising tall on a hill, the **Capitol Building** is one of Washington D.C.'s iconic structures. With its striking white dome, it's the heart of American politics, and the expansive lawn in front of it creates a majestic atmosphere. Tours are available, but I was impressed just by looking at the exterior and appreciating its magnificent architecture.

📖 Museum of the Bible

If you're looking for a unique experience in Washington D.C., I recommend the Museum of the Bible.
It's not just a religious museum; it's a space that deeply explores the historical, cultural, and artistic impact of the Bible on the world. • Exhibitions of ancient biblical manuscripts and artifacts

• Interactive digital exhibits

• Exhibitions that present Biblical stories in a modern way

The museum offers a fascinating experience for those without a religious background. The well-crafted storytelling creates an immersive experience, as if you were walking along a biblical journey.

🍴 Georgetown

Another charm of Washington is Georgetown, where historic buildings and trendy shops coexist. Stroll along the brick-lined streets and you'll find charming cafes, boutiques, and restaurants brimming with local ambiance.
The famous Georgetown cupcakes are a particularly sweet treat, worth the wait. 🧁

🧭 Travel Tips
• National Mall: Visiting in the evening allows for a different atmosphere, with the monuments illuminated.
• White House: Since the museum is only open to the public during the day, the atmosphere is even more captivating at sunset. • Capitol Building: Interior tours are available by advance reservation online, so book accordingly.
• Museum of the Bible: Allow at least two hours for your visit. The digital interactive exhibits are more engaging the more you explore them at your own pace.
• Georgetown: Weekdays are recommended, as weekends can be crowded. Brunch cafes are quieter in the mornings.

A day spent encountering history in monumental spaces, experiencing a deep cultural experience at the Museum of the Bible, and enjoying a leisurely time in Georgetown.
