    Booking in advance was one of the best decisions because when we arrived there were a lot of people wanting to get in at that time. We didn't even take 5 minutes to get in.

    The museum is very busy so I recommend booking in advance with a guide to get to know everything in great detail.

    There is no doubt that a visit to Washington must be accompanied by these kinds of activities and this was probably the highlight of my trip.
