National Mall

The Eastern Market is the best place for breakfast.
The old market building was built in 1873. Now there are many grocery and souvenir shops, as well as cafes and restaurants with a variety of cuisine.
Have a big breakfast, drink a huge cup of coffee and go for a walk in the most important place in our country.
The market opens at 8.00. Closed on Mondays.

The laws of our country are adopted in this magnificent building. The foundation stone of the Capitol was laid by George Washington in 1793. The building has been repeatedly rebuilt and expanded. The modern Capitol is close in architecture to the Cathedral of St. Peter in the Vatican and Les Invalides in Paris. An allegory of Freedom is installed on the gorgeous dome.
Visiting the Capitol is currently not possible due to Covid-19. So stay tuned for information. The situation can change at any time. In the meantime, you will have a great opportunity to look at this magnificent building from the outside and head to museums.
There are a lot of museums at the National Mall. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get around all of them during one day. Everyone will prefer something of their own. Perhaps you had a dream for a long time to visit the Smithsonian Museum of American History, or you wanted to visit the National Museum of Natural History, or your soul is gravitating toward the National Gallery, where the works of the greatest American artists are collected. Time to make your choice.
Only main museums of this awesome location and their opening times are listed in this route. Please note that each museum has its own days off. Visit the museums in the first part of the day. Most of them close at 6 PM. In the evening, you can view the memorials because the National Mall is open 24 hours a day.
In the description of museums, half an hour is allotted for a visit. This is done to fit a one-day trip schedule. It takes at least 2 or 3 hours to see any museum's exhibition.
