Guido GybelsSettembre 3, 2016Impressive, large, if not genuinely old, building. Quiet neighbourhood. There is a large parking lot right underneath the Cathedral, first 30 min. parking for free, ideal if you just want pics.

NASASettembre 12, 2012Did you know that one of the windows contains a moon rock? There is a tiny piece of the moon embedded in the 'Space Window,' delivered there personally by the astronauts who brought it back. Leggi tutto
Alex Lazo VasquezAgosto 13, 2014When I arrived in Washington my eye caught this beuautiful building. It has 2 tours. The regular tour is the best. The behind the scenes tour is very interesting too, more suited to architect fans
Karin MillerSettembre 16, 2013The gargoyle tour is awesome. Set aside lots of time for this awesome place - I easily could have spent all day learning all the fun history, listening to the organ and choir, and discovering secrets.
Samir LGiugno 29, 2016Spot the Darth Vader gargoyle, and go here during the fall/winter (when the trees have shed their leaves) for an awesome vantage point of DC (see also: L'Enfant's Grave)
AnnieMarzo 15, 2014If you're a student visiting, remember to bing your student ID for a discounted admission. Be sure to take advantage of the highlight tour (free with admission, offered every 30 minutes)- SkifchikGiugno 4, 2016The majestic structure, copying the classics of Notre-Dame de Paris. Be sure to check out!
Lydia StevensonSettembre 29, 2015The guided tour is awesome. There are 16 chapels in the cathedral. The building design is 14th century Gothic, and it is a completely original design and not copied from another building.
Norman EllisMaggio 13, 2016Take the guided tour and then roam around on your own. So much to see!! So much history!
Clau CortesSettembre 27, 2016Verdaderamente linda, muy grande y llena de detalles.No te vayas sin tomar el ascensor para ver la vista de arriba ;)
shiftyNovembre 24, 2014Actual name is the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is the seat of both the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese Washington and the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
$10 admission fee. Beautiful 360 view of DC and nearby burbs. The cathedral is one of the highest points in the city.
Girls will love hunting for the Girl Scout trefoil in the Cathedral, and all kids look for the Darth Vader grotesque on the exterior (ask a docent for help). Tower Climbs are back as of May 2012
April MartinFebbraio 24, 2018Breathtakingly beautiful and also a very touching prayer time for Florida High School while we were there.
Hassan SarayaAgosto 15, 2014AMEN—A Prayer for the World 48 premier Egyptian and Western artists. Thursday, September 4, 20147 to 8:30 pm https://www.facebook.com/events/467632383373724/
The Ritz-CarltonLuglio 14, 2011The cathedral offers spectacular views from its towers, but check for details of the gargoyle tours. Yes there are plenty of traditional monsters but look out for a stone-carved Star Wars villain.
C-SPANFebbraio 14, 2011It took 83 years to construct the National Cathedral (began in 1907). It has 231 stained glass windows, 112 gargoyles & a Darth Vader sculpture in the west tower. Watch this video for more history. Leggi tutto
Kiley KDicembre 10, 2016This place is so cool there are amazing hidden stuff like moon rocks and a Vader gargoyle
Isaac PachecoAgosto 6, 2011Breathtakingly beautiful grounds are often overshadowed by the Cathedral itself. Take time to walk around the outside too!
Nick PatzerOttobre 10, 2010The Darth Vader gargoyle is on the NW tower, east face, near the top, between the arches. Bring binoculars or a camera with good zoom.
Adam KOttobre 26, 2013Great views of DC and Virginia, and a perfect spot to get good photos of the buttresses and towers.
NYIPGiugno 8, 2011Check out the mosaics in the Resurrection Chapel and be sure to use a tripod and a long exposure to capture their iridescent beauty.
Kevin MenardAprile 25, 2012This is the 6th largest cathedral in the world! Must see when you visit DC!
Boxfire PressGiugno 15, 2011This cathedral welcomes people of faiths and perspectives, even Darth Vader. See if you can find him in the west tower. Watch this video for some more details. Leggi tutto
Great view from the garden. Great place to relax and enjoy the weather during a cooler summer day.
Leave a couple bucks in the donation bin. The Cathedral has a long way to go in repairs from the earthquake.- John TaylorMaggio 15, 2012At night, you can park right next to the building and explore the grounds with no one hassling you or looking over your shoulder.
DoraLuglio 21, 2010Families can take self-guided tours and gargoyle treasure hunts with free brochure guides picked up at the information desk at arrival. Powered by ParentsConnect.com- Monica HGiugno 27, 2017We went through so fast... Wish we could had a specific tour like the gargoyle tour... #Mommy2Five
Amber Davis-SatoAgosto 20, 2012The Highlight tour is wonderful, informative and covers a lot of the cathedral
Rebecca PresseSettembre 28, 2012The Moon Rock was a great surprise, I have heard it is worth more than Gold.
SunnyGiugno 25, 2011Find the courtyard with the fountain and benches for a refreshing and cool stop.

"The rose stained glass, the many altars and arched walkways, the tower climb and the gargoyles make this a DC must do! The view from the top - heavenly - go on a clear day!"
