## Direct answers
- Is the National Mall free? Yes. The park, the memorials and the Smithsonian museums are free. Some sites use free timed tickets to manage crowds.
- Do I need to book anything? Reserve a Washington Monument timed ticket in advance, and check whether the museums you want use free timed-entry passes.
- How long does it take to walk? Allow a full day to cover the monuments and one or two museums. The monument line alone is a two to three hour walk with stops.
- When do the cherry blossoms bloom? Peak bloom around the Tidal Basin is usually late March to mid April, but it shifts every year with the weather.
