"The U.S. Capitol Building is the epicenter of all D.C. political action—this is where the country's most important battles are fought. Home to the House of Representatives and the Senate's meeting chambers for more than two centuries, it's also an art gallery in its own right, with priceless paintings and murals adorning the walls and ceilings. Take the free guided tour and marvel at the parade of political heroes and villains who have roamed its halls during pivotal moments in U.S. history. The Capitol is located within easy walking distance of the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Botanic Garden."

A most amazing experience every American should look at the history! The dome and the middle of the capital was the most beautiful American architectural part and many a favorite! Especially for Lincoln fans. Also the tours were great and not to busy. The statues have rich history and mostly the main course.

The United States Capitol is perhaps one of my favorite buildings in the world. It's a delight to explore the surrounding areas, no matter the time of day. I haven't had the chance to do a tour yet, but it's definitely on my list for the future. The tulips in the spring and the Christmas tree in December add a special charm to the place. Whenever I'm in DC, I make it a point to spend at least 30 minutes walking the grounds. There's also plenty to do nearby, like visiting the Supreme Court building and the Library of Congress. Finding parking in Capitol Hill, just a few blocks away, is typically easy. And if you can, visit during sunset – it's absolutely stunning!

Highly recommend - walk the same ground as Webster, Calhoun, and Crockett. See the statuary representing each state. See artwork that was in your history books and architecture that is amazing. See a museum containing original artifacts that completely changed world history. Top notch tour guides! Reserve your free tickets online, read the websites know before you go, and enjoy. Nice cafe, clean restrooms, and coat check.

Great experience here. They have free tours here. You can book in advance online, however you can also just walk-in. We did not book in advance and it was still just a pretty short wait for the tour. The tour was very interesting. They walked us through some areas of the building, such as the rotunda. It was really cool seeing the architecture in the building and learning the history of it. The staff was friendly and out tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend you visit here if you are in Washington DC.
