Arlington Convention & Visitors Service

Just across the Potomac River from Washington DC, Arlington is home to historical treasures such as Arlington National Cemetery, the Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima), the Air Force Memorial, the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, and more. Arlington is minutes by foot, Metro or car to the National Mall, monuments and world-renowned museums, and it’s convenient to virtually every popular attraction in the capital region. Arlington’s lively and walkable neighborhoods (we call them “urban villages”) offer diverse culinary experiences, world-class shopping and nightlife, a thriving arts and entertainment scene, and proximity to major-league sports. In Arlington, you get the best of everything when it comes to national historic attractions, local culture and fun!
