U.S. Capitol Building, Washington

parking was a prolbem,but the whole adventure was great. There were other tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity,like the indian museum,other federal buildings etc.there were good restaurant too near by.

I like the oppotunity visiting one of important corner stones of this country. I dislike that the area open to public is very limited. Comparing other places, this is a place that you must visit.

soon after 9/11 it was almost impossible to get into the capitol, now the chief impediment is the massive construction effort taking place on the grounds. despite that, it's getting easier for tourists to view the environs. Much of the interior is astonishingly ugly. a must see.

U.S. Capitol as well as Washington DC downtown is worth to visit. The good thing is it's free. Be ready to walk a lot and dont forget your camera.

I really liked that you can sit in on that Gallary for about five minutes. Another fun part about it is that a person from your representive's office gets to take you on a tour of the place. Also, one of the lines that you stand in, is on the roof of the building! it's a great place to take pictures from, while you're waiting. One thing that you will run into, at least five times, is security check points. When my family went, i'm pretty sure we went through at least five metal detectors. I guess that's to be expected anywhere in D.C. though. It is also a place where you can get loads of information about our country which I think is very cool. Well, that's about it. One thing for people who are thinking about going, is to get a pass and a tour time set up with your local Congressman.

Book it through your congressman and you will avoid all the lines!

If only the idiots inside had a fraction of the class of this structure.

This is an amazing building. It has some great pictures and statues but just the fact that you are in the capitol is humbling.

it was beautiful but stunk. literally. like wet moldy limburger cheese smothered in old mayonaise. was a nice sight to see loved the visual it was amazing but just it smelled.

My experience at the Capitol was wonderful. The only problem was that many items are prohibited within the Capitol. There is nowhere to leave your bags, and these items are not allowed in your bags in the building. Any aerosol containers, anything with batteries, pointed objects like knitting needles, any bag larger than 14" wide, 13" high or 4" deep, cameras, cans & bottles, creams, lotions, perfumes, food or beverages of any kind, knives, of any size, replica guns, chewing gum, non-aerosol aprays, strollers, razors or box cutters, video recorders. All these items are prohibited and must be thrown into a dumpster. The only way to get them back is to come back and sort through the dumpster later.
