Washington DC, United States
Washington DC was planned as a grand capital, and walking its broad avenues and manicured parks remains the best way to experience its power and beauty. The National Mall stretches two miles from the Capitol Building to the Lincoln Memorial, with the Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, and Reflecting Pool along the way. The Smithsonian museums lining the Mall are all free, making DC one of the most generous cities for walkers. Georgetown's cobblestone streets predate the capital itself, filled with Federal-era townhouses, boutiques, and the C&O Canal towpath. Adams Morgan and U Street offer multicultural dining and nightlife, while Capitol Hill's residential streets of colorful rowhouses reveal the daily life behind the political facades. The Tidal Basin's cherry blossoms in spring are a world-famous walking experience.
