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 ...
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!
Not the most interesting State Capitol I've been to, the building seems somewhat lacking in history. Which I find odd in a 120 year-old building. The tour guide was really going through the motions. As a Yankee, I found it very uncomfortable to notice the Creed of the Children of the Confederacy plaque in the Rotunda, especially after ...

Texas State Capital Rocks
By Lynn Campbell, 09/23/05
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.
