Lincoln Memorial

The Best Things to Do in Washington, D.C.

"Overlooking the Reflecting Pool, the Lincoln Memorial features a 19-foot-tall seated statue of Abraham Lincoln and the plaque marking the spot where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his 'I Have a Dream' speech; I suggest visiting at night when it's beautifully illuminated and the crowds are smaller." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.
