Architecture of Washington's National Mall Audio Guide

Despre activitate

Uncover the meaning behind some of the most iconic structures in D.C. on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Washington, D.C.

Washington D.C.’s National Mall is filled with iconic monuments celebrating the city and country's history. On this walking tour with architect Kristen Weller, you’ll explore these premier public gardens and gain insights into what the memorials mean.

You'll make your way from Union Square to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and learn how the space has changed over the years and who’s influenced it. You’ll hear how the park’s design mimics the Garden of Versailles in France and how it was commissioned as a ‘stage for American democracy’.

You’ll visit iconic structures, old and new, like the Washington Monument, the Tidal Basin, and the Smithsonian Castle. You’ll also have a chance to admire the Lincoln Memorial, which was previously part of the Tidal Basin and later filled in!
