National Mall, Washington, D.C

National Mall, we may call sometimes as nation’s Park; it is situated right in the center of Washington, D.C, and the capital of United States. The nation’s Mall is considered to be a pivot point for most sightseeing visitors to Washington. The tree-lined open space between Constitution and Independence Avenues spread over from the Washington Monument to the U.S. Capitol edifice. Ten of the museums of the Smithsonian organization are located in the heart of the nation’s capital, offering an array of exhibits ranging from art to space investigation. West Potomac Park and the Tidal Basin are nearby to the mall and home to the civil monuments and memorials.
