Amazing architectural landscape lined with cherry blossoms. Great place to appreciate the blossoms and avoid the crowds! Get off at the Brookland metro stop and follow signs for Catholic University of America, the Basilica is just past and across the street from the Busboys and Poets. We only walked the grounds and laid on a blanket on the grass outside the rosary garden, but it was beautiful and relaxing!
