[2025 Washington D.C. Attraction] Travel Guide for Washington National Cathedral (Updated Jun)

Awesome structure both inside and out. You don't see architecture like this everyday, even in Europe. Gorgeous stained glass, fabulous stone-tiled floors and breathtaking columns rising to arches sweeping way above your head. The nave alone is an inspiring work of art. This cathedral is immense. Just to walk from the entrance to the nave is over 500 feet. The cross-shaped design adds to the enormity of the interior space. The outside is so awe inspiring it is difficult to find words to amply describe. The gift shop has many beautiful items to keep or gift. Two surprises: a gigantic Lego model of the cathedral being built in the gift shop which looked as though it is at times open for young "builders" to help construct, and the fact that there is a Darth Vader gargoyle up on the cathedral's exterior

#USATravel Washington DC, USA has the 6th largest cathedral in the world. It's so big that it's hard to capture the building in a photo, but its name is Washington National Cathedral! It's famous not only for its beautiful and huge exterior, but also for its stained glass interior and beautiful organ performance. There are free performances on special days like the upcoming Independence Day (July 4th), so be sure to listen to the beautiful organ performance at Washington National Cathedral!🎶 📍Washington National Cathedral Washington National Cathedral, 3101 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016 🚶♂️20-minute walk from Cleveland Park Metro Station #WashingtonTravel #WashingtonDC #WashingtonCathedral #USCathedral #Cathedral #BeautifulBuilding

The Washington National Cathedral (Washington National Cathedral) is the sixth largest in the world and the second largest Gothic cathedral in the United States. During the summer evenings, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the cathedral remains open until 8 p.m. At the end of the day, you can visit the cathedral's western Great Rose Window for the brilliant sunset light, and attend the choral evensong at 5:30 p.m. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the afternoon, you can take an in-depth tour of the cathedral and enjoy traditional English tea, sandwiches, and scones. The Washington National Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, is located in the Washington Diocese and is considered the only official national cathedral in the United States, a country with a separation of church and state, and is the sixth largest cathedral in the world. It is a Gothic structure with harmonious proportions, sacred and solemn, and is the spiritual home for all Americans. The funerals of U.S. Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, and Ford were all held here. Worship services are free of charge, but there is a fee to visit other parts of the cathedral. The cathedral has hosted the funeral of President Eisenhower, as well as the inaugural prayer services for Presidents Reagan and Bush. More significantly, a week before his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr., the American civil rights leader and pastor who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, preached here. A prayer service to mourn the victims of the "9/11" terrorist attacks was also held here. In the hearts of Americans, the Washington National Cathedral holds a special place.

#WinterTravel #USA #WashingtonTravel #TravelDestinationRecommendation I visited the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the heart of the United States. I think it is an architectural work that reinterprets Gothic style in an American style. The flying buttress structure and rose window are beautiful, and the exterior of the building is also beautiful. It is located relatively close to the Smithsonian, so I recommend you visit it at least once when you travel to Washington!
