Designed by John Russell Pope, this Roman-style monument to Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, is elegant and simple. Jefferson's 19-foot statue stands within, surrounded by some of his most inspirational writings. This is a perfect after-dinner destination. At night, the view of the Washington Monument across the tidal basin is one of the most attractive in Washington, especially when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

DC Must See
What makes DC so special? One undeniable thing is the monuments, including the Jefferson. Stroll around the tidal basin and check out this memorial as you explore the National Mall. During the Cherry Blossom season, this makes a fantastic background for photos. It's nice to see in the evening when it's all lit up, too.
