Okay, so maybe there’s not enough evidence to corroborate that Drake wrote “Views” with The District in mind, but there’s also no evidence against the idea, unless of course DC has been relocated to Toronto.
Either way, DC is home to some of the best views in the world, so we compiled a list of the most photogenic spots that you should visit this summer, even if it’s just so you can #DoItForTheInsta.
Washington Monument
How’s this for a monumental view?
White House
Just don’t get too close… we’d hate to call secret services on you.
Lincoln Memorial
This view will knock your heads off… sorry, too soon?
Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
Okay, yes this technically is the same place we just said, but this reflecting pool is so beautiful it deserves a shout out of its own.
United States Capitol
With a view this good who could blame Congressmen for never getting their work done on time? Oh that’s right, their constituents…
Newseum
Believe it or not, it’s even better on the inside.
Georgetown Waterfront
Not just great views, but also great food and shopping too!
MLK Jr. Memorial
I have a dream that I will one day get a chance to visit this place.
Blind Whino
Now that’s a work of art!
Meridian Hill Park
Yep, just park it right here, thanks.
Senate Fountain
Perfect for cooling off after a heated session.
Jefferson Memorial
Just don’t trip up the steps.
“I See Something New Everyday” Mural
Painted by the talented Cita Sadeli, better known as “Chelove.”
National Gallery of Art
If you like the outside, just wait until you see what’s inside.
DC War Memorial
It apparently doubles as a wedding venue.
Tidal Basin
We highly recommend you visit during cherry blossom season.
WWII Memorial
This view is the bomb!
