One of my favorite spot during our spring break trip to DC was the Lincoln Memorial at night. We went there during our walking tour with DC by Foot tour guide.
It was one of the highlighted of our trip. It’s a must-do in my opinion. The tour was fun, educational and very affordable. We walked from the corner of 15th and Contitution Ave to the Washington Monument. From there, we got to learn about the history of the monument and the Capitol Hill in which we could see from the distance. Then we walked to the World War II Memorial. Along the way, we heard the story about the White House and the Jefferson Memorial. My most memorable part of the tour has to be the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall. Do you know that it’s not the War memorial because Vietnam war is not official war?
Once we got to Lincoln Memorial, the Sun had already set. The memorial was well-lit and had a lot of visitors even during night time. I love to just sit on the steps and look out to the reflecting pool.

That sounds like an amazing tour. What a beautiful time of day to enjoy Washington DC!
I love DC and my favorite time of the day is evening. Everything is lit up so beautiful. However, by then my feet are dying from walking all day, so we only get glimpses of it! I have to make sure to start my touring in the evening to see it all:)
