Hopped on the blue line, easy walk from Metro station to cemetery. Overall, did a ton of walking. An amazing place with incredible views. Probably everyone should see this place once. more

Although Arlington may be a little out of the way from the mall area, it is worth it to drive/Metro in. The bus tour is great if you don't feel like doing a lot of walking. The buses make their stops about every 15 minutes, so no need to feel rushed. The changing of the guard is not to be... more

We loved Arlington Cemetery. We walked and didn't take the tourmobile. It was hilly but a very nice walk. Do see the changing of the guards because it is beautiful and very moving. This was at the top of our list of our favorites. more

Incredibly informative and very peaceful. We followed the advice to walk the whole thing and use the $5.00 ipod tour. It makes the world of difference. Be sure to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to experience the reverence displayed for the men who have fallen in many wars. more
