The United States national military cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C.

Why go

Arlington National Cemetery is a national military cemetery at 1 Memorial Avenue in Arlington County, Virginia, on the west bank of the Potomac River opposite Washington, D.C., according to OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. OpenStreetMap maps it as a war cemetery. Guided tours sold for it name the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and President John F. Kennedy's gravesite among the places they visit. The cemetery's own website could not be reached when this record was written, so no opening hours or entry rules are stated here; check the official site before you go.
