People Also Ask
Q:Is visiting the Lincoln Memorial worth it?
A:Yes, visiting the Lincoln Memorial is worth it. One of DC's most iconic landmarks—and a highlight of the National Mall—the larger-than-life monument to the United States' 16th president makes a moving impression. And as the site of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech, it has a timeless legacy.
Q:When is the best time of day to visit the Lincoln Memorial?
A:As with the rest of the monuments on the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial can attract big crowds, especially on weekends, during the summer, and on holidays. For the best chance of enjoying the grandeur of the setting without quite so many other people, aim for early morning or evening.
Q:Is parking free at the Lincoln Memorial?
A:Yes, there is free parking near the Lincoln Memorial, but it may be in high demand. On-street parking near the monument is generally free for 2-hour slots. If you can get it, free day-long parking is also available nearby on Ohio Drive SW or in the lots south of the Jefferson Memorial.
Q:Is the Lincoln Memorial accessible?
A:Yes, the Lincoln Memorial is accessible to disabled visitors. The site makes a wheelchair available to rent, and visitors can access the main chamber of the monument via a basement-level elevator. Accessible bathrooms are also located in the basement, and several parking spaces are located on David Chester French Drive.
Q:Can you walk up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial?
A:Yes, you can walk up the stairs at the Lincoln Memorial. They make a grand entrance and are the primary way most visitors access the landmark. They're also a historical icon in their own right: It was on the steps where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his I Have a Dream speech.
Q:What time of year is best to visit the Lincoln Memorial?
A:One of the most popular times to visit the Lincoln Memorial—and the other sights of the National Mall—is during the spring, when Washington DC's famous cherry trees are blossoming. Alternatively, skip the searing heat and crowds that summer brings and aim for the autumn shoulder season.
