Recenter Map To This Location

A magnificent view of the district presents itself from atop the 550-feet-tall marble obelisk of the Washington Monument—the world’s largest building with no internal structure that is held together by the earth’s gravitational pull. It is no longer possible to walk up the structure, one must take the elevator, but there are times when one is permitted to walk down! A limited number of same day tickets are given out first thing each morning. Avoid the lines by paying a small service charge to obtain advance tickets from Ticketmaster (see your local listing).
