Arlington National Cemetery

All gave some, some gave all. At least once in a lifetime visit. This is United States military cemetery for the honored service members that have valiantly service our country.

It was my honor to visit and it’s awe inspiring. All the men and women that fought for our freedoms.

The operation is very organized and staffed with great people. The changing of the guard is a memorable experience. Great place to take your family.

Emotional place, lots of families there. We were able to see the Changing of The Guard. It’s as big as you can see on the map.. literally, is huge and it will take you around 2hrs. Long walks, with hills and more hills.
It’s not a place that I’m thinking to come back, but for sure I d take the tram with a price of ($20 ea, if I don’t remember wrong)

Great place to visit. Parking is easy, 3 dollars per hour, plenty of spots available.

Walking is very nice. There's construction going on now so some roads and walk ways are closed but still very nice!

A must visit while visiting D.C. to pay respect to the too many fallen and our great leaders. Also pay your respects to the many slaves that worked this property while owned by Robert E Lee. I hope the same karma finds another certain traitor/cult leader.

Visited in October 2014. Arlington National Cemetery spans 639 acres and is the final resting place for around 400,000 veterans. It conducts an average of 27 to 30 funerals each weekday and up to eight services on Saturdays.

Nice place to visit in Arlington. You can do the trolley tour that costs 20 dollars per adult, but good to have it to explore the whole cemetery as it's quite large. Also, stop by the Arlington House inside the cemetery to get the spectacular view of Washington DC.

Amazingly humbrling experence. Witness the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier is a truly humbling experience. The history of the cemetery and the size of it leaves uou speechless. I highly recommend visiting.

A very moving place. You can park in visitor center for $3 an hour or $12 for all day. The tram will get you though the cemetery in about 30-35 min but was cheap. Just for husband and I not including children was $40. We walked. We saw JFK'S sight with the eternal flame. The tobm of the unknown soldier. It was a nice walk with gentle slopes. Beautiful cemetery and must see.

Arlington National Cemetery is a powerful place.
I am proud of my father who rests here now after living an incredible life.

Mom's ashes were placed in the ground with my father's ashes a couple of days ago with those who loved her attending.

The staff of ANC are loving, respectful and peaceful humans.

If you go on a tour in of Arlington National Cemetery, perhaps you will feel the incredible power of this place.

This experience is one of those which creates a positive feeling of being an American.

Five stars. Go for a walk there in silence.

A beautiful place to visit with over 400,000 tombs for mostly American veterans and soldiers, but there are also a few presidents, Supreme Court Justices, and James Parks, the first keeper of the grounds.

It is rather hilly and possible to walk, but there is also the option to pay $20 (adult price) for a trolley tour (the trolleys are covered on rainy days) around the cemetery with 3 hop-on, hop-off destinations at the Kennedy Grave, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Lee-Custis Mansion (known for the panoramic view). These buses run every 15 minutes.

The changing of the guard occurs at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is a delight to watch and occurs on the top of the hour during off-seasons (winter) and every half hour during the summers.

There is a nice visitor center with a security check at the gate. One can buy trolley tickets there and also read more history and use the very nice restrooms.

To get here, one can drive and park in the lot for ~$3/hour or take the Blue line to the Arlington Cemetery stop.

The sheer scale of this place is staggering, you’ll need a full day if you’re planning on seeing it all and I would recommend a tour if you’re wanting to cover the whole area. The people who work here are incredibly knowledgeable and only to happy to answer any questions you may have. The Tomb of the Unknown Solider and the Eternal Flame are within walking distance of one another and worth seeing. The discipline of the Honour Guards is similar to the Kings Guard in London, well drilled and definitely an experience to watch them changed over. Arlington Cemetery is an extraordinary sight and the effort and passion that clearly goes in to maintain it is commendable.

Inspiring. A treasure. Beautifully maintained. you could send a day there it’s so large and so peaceful even with all the tourists. A must visit- lots of walking but in my pinion the only way to truly admire this place. Don’t just go to Kennedy grave and the unknown soldier although a definite must so much more there.

What an honorable place to visit. This was our first time at the cemetery and I must say we were all impressed. Very well kept, beautiful grounds filled with such rich history. We were hesitant as we were travelling with smaller children and were not exposed to death, funerals, cemeteries etc, as of yet but it turned into a wonderful history lesson. We were impressed how respectful they were. Wanted to read the names of the soldiers, wars fought in etc. Definitely can spend more than half the day walking through everything but well worth your time. A must of the changing of the guard which is indeed every half hour. The unknown buried soldier, so much to see. Make sure you pick up a map of the grounds. Bring a reusable water bottle if you are visiting in the summer. Many water filling stations. Comfortable shoes, and a phone or camera to take photos. It it a huge place, you can take a tour with a guide which will only get you to "the major must things to see" but you can do a self guided tour if you have read up on some or have knowledge of American history, otherwise there is a tram (trolley) that takes you through the cemetery but again to the "main spots". No amount of pictures can do this wonderful place justice. Highly recommended.

It’s an experience… it’s history. Many profound statements engraved…I can go on and on but it’s definitely meant for everyone to make this visit along with the African American Museum.

Great experience!!!!!
Beautiful place ♥🙏🏻
Respect 🫡 for all that had put their lives on battle. 🙏🏻♥

This is truly hallowed ground...didn't appreciate it until I had a relative buried here...it's well maintained and has fantastic history associated with it. Make sure you visit the two president that are buried here (yes there are two!), visit Lee House and an absolute must is the Tomb of the Unknowns (try and catch it at the changing of the guard). Please show respect and reverence...those who rest here have earned it.

This was an absolutely harrowing, humbling place and I think everyone should come at least once in their lives. Its like walking through a time machine and the river Styx at the same time. You will feel something here 100%

Incredible place! So many emotions as you drive through. Looking at how many people have given their lives for our country. I would definitely recommend stopping by.

Arlington National Cemetery is a solemn and peaceful resting place that holds great historical significance. Its beautifully manicured grounds offer a serene atmosphere for reflection and remembrance. The highlight of the cemetery is undoubtedly the gravesite of President John F. Kennedy, which draws visitors from around the world. His eternal flame and the nearby Arlington House add to the reverence of the site. Overall, Arlington Cemetery is a poignant tribute to the nation's heroes and a must-visit for those interested in American history and culture.

This was a must see for me on this trip since it had been 30 years since I had been to Arlington. It seems so much larger than it did back then! I didn’t think the kids and I would spend as much time as we did here but we really enjoyed it.

We were able to see the Changing of The Guard and a Wreath Ceremony which was nice. My children were in awe learning about the importance of The Guard and what all goes into it. The Arlington house is very informative and has a spectacular view.

Next time we go we will definitely do the tram…I think we had 12k steps in our 3 hours!
