Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington National Cemetery is a profoundly moving and historically significant site. Visiting the cemetery offers a chance to pay respects to the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. military. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and the serene atmosphere invites reflection and appreciation. Highlights include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the changing of the guard is a solemn and impressive ceremony. The rich history and solemnity of the site make it a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand and honor the sacrifices made for the country. It’s a poignant reminder of the cost of freedom and a beautiful tribute to those who have served.

Very beautiful experience, would recommend to come on a cooler day, it does tend to get really hot. But besides being hot. It is a very big cemetery, and beautiful to explore. I loved to see it all, the ceremony, and including the history

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Such a peaceful, humbling feeling throughout the entire grounds. Staff gets everyone through efficiently. Area is well maintained. I recommend a whole day. It was a LOT bigger than we expected and there is a variety of amazing things to explore.

It was on the bucket list to visit, and we did. Veterans pay only $8.95 for a trolley tour, which we did. So much history, so much respect for our heroes. Very well kept grounds. Thank you. Easy parking too. Must visit.

I brought my child to visit Arlington last October because I thought it important. I was even surprised to see a Canadian (Commonwealth War Graves style) marker. There are many places to visit including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, JFK and the eternal flame, the shuttle disaster crew memorials, and of course the graves of those who fought in the many wars over the years. A place one should certainly visit.

Went to visit the burial site of the loved one. Staff were very helpful getting us to the burial site without cost (did provide a gratuity). Took the tram to tour the park in order to get good photos. Sadly, that did not happen as the tram went by places to quickly (and tour guide did not give enough notice to be prepared to take a photo) and to see some things such as the JFK burial place or Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, tram dropped off visitors and left them to catch another tram. Visitors had to walk to these locations which made it difficult for those with limited mobility. This was not worth the money - in our opinion. Otherwise, the cemetery is beautifully kept up and most of the staff were friendly. Private vehicles, scooters, and bicycles are not permitted on the grounds. Visitors have to have bags X-rayed and walk though a metal detector. Shuttle, bus, and tram ask for gratuity. The Metro will drop off and pick up at the entrance to the cemetery (blue line).

My family and I really enjoyed our visit here. It is such a beautifully kept site with lots of history and pride. There is a parking lot close by that you pay by the hour. There is also a paid tour which I thought was valuable. With your ticket, you are able to hop-on/hop-off at a few locations. During our trip, we stopped by the Arlington House (General Robert E. Lee's home) and got a tour inside. There is a breathtaking view of the Potomac River there, the highest point in the area. We also saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where there was a change of the guard every 30 minutes and a small museum. Our last stop was where we visited the Eternal Flame - where JFK and his family were buried, and close by were Thurgood Marshall and Ruth B. Ginsberg. This is definitely a must-see/must visit!

Breathtaking experience! We took the guided hop-on hop-off tour for 20$ per Person through the Cemetery. The tomb of the unknown soldier is a fascinating must-see. The guided tour is pleasant yet it is with advice to consider bringing sunglasses during sunny-summer days. All in all definitely a memorable place.
