Arlington National Cemetery, once the home of General Robert E. Lee, is the country’s largest military cemetery. Tours are available for a small fee or you can walk the grounds yourself.

I recommend a visit here. The changing of the guard is a must see. Also several monuments. Be prepared to walk with comfortable shoes it’s very hilly. Plenty of pay parking.

Aside from the obvious of the eternal flame and the Tomb of the Unknown, you should also go see the graves of the Apollo 1 astronauts in the monument to the USS Maine

Very moving place to visit! The bus tour is only $12 and is definitely worth all the money.

Take the bus tour and bring water.It's a lot of walking, and a long trip if you want to get off the bus occasionally,but very worth the trip.

This is a place to pay respect to the veterans who are interred here, many of whom died to preserve our freedom. You can also find the Tomb of the Unknowns & can see the changing of the guard.
Guadalupe RodriguezMarch 16, 2015
Felt so proud and humble just to be able to walk around the cemetery and also witness the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. No words- so much respect! I didn't even want to breath or talk.

Be aware there are some places which are not wheelchair accessible (like Grant's tomb). Also you should plan on doing a lot of walking. Lee's Arlington House offers a great view of Washington.

If you are visiting a family or friends grave, there is a special van to take you. It’s free, but you have to get a ticket. And the driver gladly takes tips.

Finally participated in 2017's wreath distribution. After living in the Northern Virginia area for 4+ years, hubby and I volunteered to place wreaths on fallen soldiers grave sites.

A must see. Just walking the grounds you can see many memorials in addition to the well know Tomb of the Unknowns, JFK plot and Arlington House.

There is a hush in this cemetery. It makes you feel just how much the people buried here mean to the US.
Peter YoungSeptember 13, 2018
I would recommend the tour to anyone. Be sure to witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Amazing place to remember and respect all of the heroes that have defended our country. Awesome site and a must see when in DC.
RachelApril 17, 2015
Incredibly moving- a place to honor and remember those who have fought for our country and those who are still fighting.
Santi CaamañoJune 2, 2015
Huge cemetery, you can get lost easily. It's really overwhelming, the magnitude and what it represents just takes your breath away.
Thomas CraenenJanuary 21, 2017
Few places are as symbolic in the U.S. as this cemetery. Prepare for a lot of walking in order to see many of the nation's heroes' final resting place.
Lisa NewmanJuly 31, 2013
Absolutely breathtaking. Especially at the Tomb of the Unknown. Guard change is every half hour. It's something you don't want to miss. Even in torrential downpour.

Be silent for the Changing of the Guard. It's respectful, and the sight is arresting. For this reason, Arlington is best alone.
eric bornemannSeptember 2, 2020
So much history to be honored here on this hallowed ground. And the best use of land reclamation from a traitor.
Parth AgarwalAugust 28, 2015
I never knew it was so huge inside. Too big to walk... You an talk the bus tours for 12$. Nice place to visit to pay your respect to the veterans.
Apostolos SamarasSeptember 29, 2017
Respect to those who died. You can spend hours wandering here. Take the tour for only 12 dollars.

The Changing of the Guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is pretty amazing.
Cristina DeganiNovember 11, 2010
Place of respect and peace. Don´t miss the Changing Guard of Unknows Soldier. Honor the Civil War soldiers, Graet War, Second War, Korea and Vietna. Astronauts of Columbia and Challenger have rested t
Abigail LougherMay 10, 2012

Emotional place to visit whether you have a family member buried here or not. Very moving if you happen to be there during a military burial ceremony. RIP American Heroes. Miss you Dad.

Check out Arlington House. So much history behind it. Then take a walk to the Tomb of Unknowns for the changing of the guard -- occurs every half hour.
Pat HewittJuly 11, 2013
Be sure to see the Women's memorial and go up to the Tomb of the Unknown to watch the changing of the guard.
Carm LópezJanuary 21, 2014
Some places make you laugh... Others give you goose bumps... and some make you shed a tear... It's very large and really emotional
Elisabeth WhiteSeptember 16, 2011
there's so much history there and it's just awe inspiring. The way you feel seeing such a hallowed place. It's a must see.

For a lot of us it is not a matter of remembering we can never forget. Flag Day is June 14th. Learn what the American Flag meant to rescuers in the days and months after 9/11 Read more

If you have a chance to see a full honors funeral it is the ultimate way to pay respect to those have given so much. They happen at 9/11/1/3 mon - friday. Please remain a respectful distance away.

The perspective from a walking tour is an experience you will never forget.
DenraelSeptember 5, 2015
This place blew me away. So worth a visit. I think it's best done alone.
Emily McMillanJuly 7, 2011
Go through the Visitors Center and buy a TourMobile ticket. It's soo far to walk. You'll enjoy seeing it more by bus I think! Especially if it's hot!!!
Sam OdleJanuary 15, 2016
If you see rocks on gravestones, it is a Jewish tradition similar to how many Christians leave flowers
Mary CollierFebruary 27, 2012
A must see on any D.C. Trip. It's so beautiful and the tomb of the unknown soldiers is amazing!
Maggie Rivero-GómezFebruary 5, 2016
Arlington Cemetery is overwhelming. So many lives, so many men and women lost, all fighting for our freedom.

Beautiful & sad at the same time. How can you not walk in here, look at all the headstones, and wish we didn't have to sacrifice so many?
Mary NamestnikNovember 28, 2015
