An impressive and moving place when you look at the huge amount of people who gave their lives for the different wars they fought in. Besides that you will also find the graves of some important people who played an important role in the history of America and the rest of the world like JF Kenned.

Very surreal somber experience. Very interesting though. I did not realize that Jackie Kennedy was also there. If you are in Washington DC, you must take a trip over to Arlington cemetery. Worth it.

No matter what your political affiliation is, this is a must-stop in D.C.. There’s a real aura to this burial site of President Kennedy and his family.

I want to know who was the first person to toss a coin onto Kennedy's grave. It won't make your wish come true, and Kennedy wouldn't care about your 10 cents (Jacqueline wouldn't care either). Is this your way of expressing respect?

Completely sobering experience. Cut out at least 3.5 hours to do the self- tour of Arlington. It is absolutely worth it. There are a lot of uphill paths. Call ahead to schedule a ride on tour if you are unable to walk. Children WILL get tired... haha! My favorite part of DC!

Too much walking, the bus doesn't stop enough. And when it does it leaves you far from the exhibit they point out. We had three different tour guides the first one was sick, the second guide was amazing and the third one was boring.

One of the most famous presidents of the United States of America. Did not complete a full term as president but is the well known and famous in the world. We lived visiting the Cemetery today having Family who served.

Must visit in my book, seeing a the man and women risk their lives to protect our great country and freedom is very emotional.

We need to teach future generations the great values and teach them to cherish the lives they will have and enjoy so they can pass it down to their youngs and continue to thrive this country.

These man and women deserve the continuation of the great success of this great nation they die for!!!🙏🙏🙏

It was an adventure going towards his grave. It is indeed a beautiful place. Lots of people going here as well. There is a paid parking garage for visitors but it is in reasonable price. Love the place overall.

Arlington Cemetery was an amazing and somber experience! A reminder that freedom isn’t free! Seeing the eternal flame and Kennedy’s gravesite was a reminder of the danger and sacrifice involved in being president. Though we bicker politics, the fact is we have brave individuals who are willing to sacrifice to keep America free so that we can even have different points of view. At the site, there is a wall of presidential quotes. A line forms to see these. There are many veterans here, some wear identifying articles like hats and pins. My advice is be respectful, let them go first. Many are very emotional.

A must if you are in the area. Pretty big place so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. The trolley is a good option if your group has people that tire easily or they are unable to walk for a long period of time, or if it is really hot outside. Other than that the walk is not super bad especially on a windy day.

More great views of the Washington monument and surrounding areas of in the far distant. You can also see Robert E Lee's house, which is above the grave site The grace site of President Kennedy was also very interesting to see. The whole cemetery is open until 7:00.

Finally a visit to Arlington Cemetery! I have always wanted to go here and see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier! It's breathtaking. And the cherry blossoms were blooming! Wow! You can come here for a few hours but plan a day here and take it slow. There is much to see and so much respect to be given to those who served our country.

It is a moment that was really moving. One of the most revered Presidents of our time . Surrounded by his most memorable speech carved in marble. It was solemn. The eternal flame burning behind his grave evermore. His wife during Camelot is buried beside him. They were Americas hope during the time. It is such a moving moment.

A good place for quiet reflection on family, friends, society. Especially on a cool March morning when there were few other tourists.

Very emotional place to be and almost surreal to stand over the grave of this amazing man.
There is a hop-on hop-off bus that drives through the garden for $18.
I dont recommend that unless the weather is to bad, to hot or if you´re a handicap.
Parking is available for $3 per hour.
Clean and nice restrooms are inside the visitors center.
