What is the ideal itinerary for Washington DC?

[Grayson]

How can I plan a perfect Washington DC itinerary covering monuments, museums, neighborhoods, food spots, and must-see attractions?

I'd suggest starting at the Capitol and walking west toward the Lincoln Memorial; it’s about two miles but hits all the big monuments. For food, definitely check out Union Market for variety or hit up Le Diplomate on 14th St if you want a classic DC vibe.

Honestly, the perfect DC itinerary is to spend mornings walking the National Mall (Lincoln, MLK, Capitol), afternoons hopping Smithsonian museums, and evenings exploring neighborhoods like Georgetown or Capitol Hill with good food breaks in between mix it slow so it doesn’t feel rushed
