This City Was Just Named the No. 1 Solo Travel Destination in the U.S.

"This iconic obelisk on the National Mall is a quintessential, free-to-visit D.C. landmark and a popular, photogenic spot—often photographed from across a nearby pond. Easily reached on foot, by bike-share or metro, it sits among the capital’s many free museums and memorials, making it an easy stop for solo travelers who value walkability, sightseeing on a budget, and classic photo opportunities." - Madeline Weinfield
