Small but FREE museum with some interesting local history displayed. Right in the heart of the Civic Center Development. Worth a quick stop.

Interesting way to learn about the Hapsburg line. The largest family tomb I have ever visited with hundreds of years and generations of Hapsburgs each buried in a metal sarcophagus, including Maria Theresia and Franz Joseph, as well as Maximilian (who ruled Mexico) and the last Emporer of Austro-Hungary, Karl and his Empress who passed in 1989. Even more recently deceased relatives are buried here as well.

Great cocktails. Known for their old-fashioned (claiming history back to Henry Clay introducing the drink to the bar that stood there in the mid 1800s), other mixed drinks were very flavorful. Pricey (think $20 and up for a cocktail), but worth a stop into the Willard Intercontinental for a drink at The Round Robin.

Very informative and well done. Worth a 15-30 minute stop. Located right across from the Willard Intercontinental Hotel. Includes a large monument to General Pershing and detailed depictions in stone of the major campaigns in which the American military fought.

Large park that you drive through (you can also walk or bike). Self-guided audio tour on the National Parks app. Recommend a guided tour if you want a more complete picture of the campaign and the seige... call in advance to arrange a guide. The trees have grown on over 160 years, so it can be hard to get a sense of the battle lines and how close Union and rebel forces were to each other.

Visitor Center has a short video that summarizes the battles and the seige - definitely worth watching. The exhibits in the Visitor Center are also informative, particularly the info about the cannon shot and how it evolved.

Only bathrooms I saw were at the Visitor Center.
