Monuments Places Map
Monuments in the USA:
Mount Rushmore
Lincoln Memorial
Charging Bull
If you need to use the bathroom, head towards a cafe or a nearby mall! The public restrooms around the area are limited, and I was caught off guard.
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekends are packed, and it’s tough to get close to the bull. Plus, you’ll have a better chance to take cool pics.
Cloud Gate
Liberty Bell
Grab a quick breakfast at one of the nearby cafes before you go. You can even pack a little snack and enjoy it while you take in the views. It’ll save you time and give you more energy!
If you can, go on a weekday morning right when it opens at 9 AM. It gets pretty crowded later, and you'll get great photos without throngs of people. I really enjoyed the peace before the rush.
Martin Luther King Memorial
Be sure to check out the inscriptions on the walls. Each quote is meaningful and adds depth to the experience. I spent a good chunk of time reading and reflecting, which was totally worth it!
Fremont Troll
Strawberry Fields
I suggest heading to the nearby shops for souvenirs but avoid the ones right next to the park. They're overpriced! Walk a few blocks and you'll find much better deals.
Franklin Delano Memorial
Bunker Hill Monument
If you're planning to take photos, try to go during golden hour around sunset. The colors of the sky make for some truly stunning shots of the monument!
