The memorial is located in the Constitution Gardens, on the Lincoln Memorial end. The long black wall is described with names. There is a single path along it so it can get packed if busy. Full review by Acineto

It's a bit of a toss up. Either Foggy Bottom or Farragut West can be used. Either way you will have about a 10 to 15 minute walk. Foggy Bottom is a tad closer if all you want to see is The Wall. There is also an alternative....close to both stations are "rent-a-bike" stations, where you can rent a bicycle, ride, then return,, you pay the fee. It's a kiosk, not manned. I'd check out the web site before committing to use. We saw many people using, and several different companies (color of bike determines rental company.)
