What a wonderful and sad place. The memorial is very thought provoking, and I really appreciate the way that genocide in all its forms is also covered. Not great for young kids. Book in advance, tickets are free.

I've seen the National Mall so may times on TV it was a little surreal being here, but this was the highlight. Designed as 4 outdoor rooms, the memorial has a lovely feel and is beautiful to look at.

Consisting of a huge memorial wall and 19 statues of troops, this is a haunting and powerful memorial and remains my most vivid enduring memory from my trip to Washington.

Delightful gardens and a lovely place to take a breather from sightseeing around the national mall. The vietnam veterans memorial wall was really powerful and really made me remember all that i had learned about that war.

It's quite mad to see something you've seen on TV so many times, but at the same time the size and majesty of it still makes an impression. The surroundings are lovely too, and i'm really sad i didn't get to see the cherry trees in full blossom.
