Make sure you go for one of the guided tours.12p.m,2p.m and 3:3op.m on weekends )The tour starts inside capitol(not visitor's center)
The tour is well organized and is a great value for people who dont know much about capitol.Also dont forget to visit History musuem

Our capital is certainly a place anyone can get lost in.Both psychically and in thought.If the walls could talk .Wow what a story they would tell.Our history for our state and nation.our children and visitors have a lot to take in and to understand .It is the best .Updated for our new Texans .Texans have a great pride in there state it shows ...

History of Texas is great. Pride that comes through. Incredible architecture. Paintings. Access to chambers. There is so much to see and learn. The walk up to the capital is just as beautiful as the interior so it makes enjoying the indoors and outdoors easy to do in one place.

You can't go wrong on any tourist location in Austin, but you MUST start here!! The librabry is fascinating, take the tour and run over to the Bob Bullock State museum.

The capitol is merges historic and contemporay interest into on sight. An excellect place to go alone, with others, or even bring the family. The capitol is surrounded by a beautiful park with huge shade trees.

There's no excuse not to go because after all, it's free! The capitol is an amazing edifice; it's the largest state capitol ...

Having worked there for 6 years and now living in DC, I love the fact that the TX capitol is soooo accessible to the public. You walk in, you walk around, you go watch hearings, you walk onto the floor of the House and senate and into the galleries, all without being stopped and told, "you can't go there." Try doing that in the US ...

This capitol is just beautiful. Went there last year, didn't even need to take a tour just walked around and it was great. I ended up arriving at the end of the day so most offices were closed already but then there was no crowds! I would have thought being there in 2003 the security would have been increased alittle but seemed not to be. Plan on going there again this week ! OH and free excurisions are always the best hehe

I loved my visit to the Austin state Capitol! It provided several great photo ops as well as a look into the working of the Texas state government. It didn't hurt that it was free either!

Take a tour of the interior and can go upto the third level in the dome for the Spectacular views. Well maintained garden the area around the Capitol. Nice view of the congress street from the front doors.
