Why Take This Capitol Hill Tour?

Discover the heart of American democracy with this guided tour of Capitol Hill! We'll meet at the indicated time at the entrance of the Library of Congress, where we'll begin one of the most complete Capitol Hill tours there is. Time to visit some of the most important government buildings in the United States!

The United States Capitol

We'll kick off the tour by delving into the secrets of Washington D.C., where all the political power of the United States is concentrated. First, we'll make our way to the Capitol. Ready to find out why this is one of the most interesting United States Capitol tours out there?

We'll admire this imposing neoclassical building that has served as inspiration for numerous government buildings around the world. In fact, Cuba, Argentina and Puerto Rico all have their own replicas. As we step inside the United States Capitol building, we'll learn all about the origins of Congress and see its spectacular dome, which crowns the Senate and House of Representatives!

The Supreme Court of the United States

The next stop on our Capitol Hill tour is the Supreme Court, where we'll tell you all about the country's main judicial body. Its imposing columns and friezes depicting the country's great lawmakers are some of its highlights.

The Library of Congress

Finally, we'll visit the Library of Congress, one of the largest in the world. In addition to its beauty, the interior of the library contains priceless treasures, such as one of the first Bibles printed by Gutenberg.

After a 3-hour guided tour of Capitol Hill, we'll bid farewell outside the library and bring this tour to an end.
