In Washington, DC, Constitution Avenue is a major east-west street running just north of the United States
Capitol and is an important area not to be missed while you're visiting the capitol. The avenue is lined on its north side by the headquarters of several federal agencies and on the south side by several
Smithsonian museums, the
National Gallery of Art,
Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Constitution Gardens,
Lincoln Memorial, and the east and west Reflecting Pools. In Northeast, the avenue passes through the
Capitol Hill and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.
