Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Landmark Theatre opened as Loew's State Theatre in 1928 and showed films and stage shows. It was renovated in the 1970s with the help of a preservation group and renamed the Landmark Theatre. The theatre is still open today and hosts concerts, comedy shows, ballets and plays. The facility can also be used for private functions.

The National Mall is the central strip of D.C., where most of the major sights are lined up. You can stroll past the Smithsonian museums — like the National Museum of American History — and pop into the National Gallery and its Sculpture Garden. Monuments and memorials are scattered along the way, from Lincoln and Roosevelt to the Vietnam and Korean War memorials.

The United States Capitol dominates the eastern end of the National Mall on Capitol Hill — its dome, completed during the Civil War, is hard to miss. The Capitol is the seat of the United States Congress, and it has been a center of American politics since 1800. Inside, the Visitor Center walks you through its history, shows off its art collection, and explains how the legislative branch works. Free guided tours are available, but booking ahead is a good idea — lines can get long, especially in peak season.
