Washington National Catheral Reviews

We gathered for The Concert Of Hope and Healing...For Veterans...Everyone was Kind and The National Cathedral Speaks for itself...Very Greatful for the Opportunity and the Hospitality

Beautiful Cathedral! They have very knowledgeable tour guides!

I wish we had made it in time to do a tour. But the exterior was breathtaking. Next time I will try to make it in time for a tour.

The exterior of the cathedral is just gorgeous!! I take lots of photos of it. Beautiful architecture.

Everyone entering the cathedral is very respectful and keep the voice down. I really enjoy all the glass works.

It is maintained very well. Very clean. Staffs are very friendly.

The architecture is beautiful! The history is fun to learn and the stain glass is breathtaking! Go here instead of the zoo!

We'll worth the visit. Even to this non-religious guy, all of the craftsmanship, and the scale of everything, is truly stunning, magnificent, beautiful.

It's a beautiful place! The Easter Service was beautiful and so inclusive and diverse! Amen and Amen!

Rather high entry, but excellent place to visit. Many little things, nooks, and chapels of interest, along with gothic architecture and stained glass ranging from traditional to contemporary.

Breathtaking architecture and it holds a unique place in the area for a structure so new. The chapels are very beautiful to just ait down and pray. The tour they give is amazing and the narrative of this place's history is extremely engaging and riveting. The tour costs about $12 a person but it is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this place.

The Holiday Light Spectacular was lovely. Such a treat!

It goes without saying, this place is beautiful. Absolutely breathtaking. It is an amazing place everyone should visit, the architecture and design of the building alone is amazing. Great place for worship as well.

Amazing place was able to see the military practice a State funeral. Well worth it. Recommended but get a guided tour.

This is an incredible and special place. If you go, give yourself more time than you think you'll need. This place has so many hidden areas to explore.
There are gift shops on the main and basement levels.

God truly gave the Architects and construction workers a gift. Everything from the design to the building structure is made with perfection.

There is so much to see , from the individual chapels, to the respect of the tombs, the 7th floor with views of virginia and maryland, this cathedral is out of this world.

This place is so pretty. All the stained glass is just amazing!

Amazing cathedral! Look for the Darth Vader gargoyle.

Historic Cathedral modeled on some of Europe's finest.

Attended a service yesterday and returned for a behind the scenes tour today. It was just incredible. I wish I could have stayed there all day!

Attended Christmas Eve mass and the music from organ choirs was thrilling. The whole experience was amazing and we came away uplifted and at peace.

my daughter goes to school here and has services once every week it is amazing come out and visit

It s just amazing the estructure from inside and outside, tickets to get in are expensive!!

This place was truly impressive. A Testament to the capability of Humans and their ability to build. What an impressive structure. The amount of handcrafted stone work that went into this building over a 100 year. Was simply amazing. Don't miss the catacombs below the main level. Well worth The Visit had the place to ourselves. I would allow at least an hour or more to thoroughly explore the entire church. We walked from the nearby Metro terminal. That was a little bit of a walk but in good weather very doable about 30 minutes. During business hours there was a coffee shop on the grounds.

This place is incredible, no crowds, and stained glass is amazing

Absolutely beautiful stunning and amazing must do behind scenes tour !

It is beautiful. There is surprisingly a lot to see considering it is a church. We went specifically went for the Lego Fundraiser. They are building a Lego model of the Cathedral for $2 a brick you can buy bricks and with assistance add them to the model. Upon completion it will be the largest Lego model of a Cathedral in the world.

Beautiful architecture An amazing place to see and alot of information to take in. Enjoy this wonderfully amazing building of inspiration.

This is such an amazing piece of American history. Plan to spend about 3 hours.

A place where you don't want to leave very spiritual

The detail is absolutely gorgeous. Hearing the stories behind certain pieces was interesting. Would like to come back and hear more.

I loved it. My boy scout troop for jamboree went to one of the services and I lived it.

I went for the traditional blessing of the tartans, a service so steeped in tradition and grandeur! I was in awe of the collective reverence for the event and the sermon really hit home. A very welcoming place, even if you're not Catholic!

A beautiful place, next to him you feel like a small ant ... A terrible coffee stain on a beautiful picture ... And you forget about everything else that you saw ...

An unexpected beauty on our road trip through DC. We didn't get to see the inside but it is quite amazing from the outside. Well worth stopping by if for taking in the view for a few minutes.

The Christmas Eve service is very beautiful and inspiring.

Excellent experience. I was here with a group of students. The guided tour was well organized and informative. The cathedral is wonderful combination of Christian iconography and American history. The artwork is stunning.

Outstanding architecture with informative tours. Lunchtime organ recital was an added bonus.

Palm Sunday with it all--Dixieland band before the service, and as part of the procession, full complement of reverend, full choir with organ and a variety from Mideval to South African music.

Beautiful cathedral You have to see her calmly. Take your time. I recommend it.

This is a very beautiful piece of architecture and well worth visiting to get a feel for it. It's setting is designed to emphasise the peacefulness and this enhances its purpose.

Its design is on a par with the other great cathedrals, some of which are centuries older, and it will draw you back again and again.

On the day we visited, we were lucky to have bright, clear sunshine and the stained glass windows filled the cathedral with colour. One window to watch out for is the one dedicated to space.

After visiting the cathedral, don't hurry away as there is a beautiful garden in the grounds where you can sit and contemplate the wonders of our world.

This truly promotes the glory of God and through design, the beauty of his works.

Lots of history. Take the behind the scene tour to learn more.

Excellent venue for choral concerts. Acoustics really emphasize the performance.

It's both breathtaking and moving. A sight to behold!

Absolutely awesome cathedral. I had no idea there were such cathedrals outside Europe. Very authentic, somehow, yet very young. I did the Behind the Scenes tour, which is a bit steeply priced at a $15 extra, but it is so cool to go through all those doors that say, "Access Denied"! Don't forget to check out the basement - it houses 3 additional, beautiful chapels. The guides were very knowledgeable and knew how to tell a good story. Awesome!

Interesting, but not one of the top places in DC to see

One of the most beautiful place in Washington DC. Highly recommended

Beautiful but I didn't realize it would cost money to enter.

The charity organization Fair Chance put on a great Butterfly Bash fundraiser at the National Cathedral. That you so much for sharing this wonderful treasure for this special event.

Dislike religion (I'm from the rapture) but was cool to see

Beautiful building. Bummer the quake did so much damage.

Incredible gothic architecture & beautiful stained glass in this huge, monumental Episcopalian church.

Even if you are not religious, I recommend visiting. Gothic architecture here is amazing.

This place is amazing I can't even explain how cool it is, you'll see to check it out for yourself

They closed the whole cathedral down for a concert, wasted an Uber and drive for nothing.
