Pros: Historical Significance. Artistic. Cons: Would be boring to many people. They are buildings.
While working in the nation's Capitol, I took several opportunities to visit the Capitol building. On weekends, the lines can be long to pass through the magnetometers, so it is best to visit during the week. The main lobby of the capitol is impressive...
Pros: Great national shrine to democracy; free Cons: Long waits for public tours during the tourist season
Most people run to the White House as their top destination when they get to Washington, DC. Not me. YentaKvetch has lived in the area since 1971. The White House? It's OK, but the Capitol Building is actually much better.
Pros: Beautiful building, the center of democracy Cons: Can be crowded, not as exciting when Congress is out of session
After working on Capitol Hill for months, I can honestly say the Capitol is one of the most important and awesome tourist sites in the city. Of the three branches of government, tours of the Capitol reveal the most, and if you get to see the House or...
Pros: Where Presidential inaugurations have taken place since 1801. Cons: None
To avoid the long lines getting into the Capitol, call your representative for gallery passes to The House of Representatives and The Senate. We visited the House and Senate on Monday evening, June 25, 2001, and Tuesday, June 26, 2001. With these...
Pros: Take as much time as you like your not on a schedule. Cons: None this was an amazing eye opening trip
I had always wanted to go to Washington DC when I lived in California. I never thought it would happen because it seemed like worlds away. With a twist of luck and the US Navy deciding to move us to Virginia, My wish came true.
Pros: Politician sightings galore Cons: Few places to sit
If you are a political junkie like I am, one of the best places to make Senator and Representative sightings is in the various legislative office buildings.
I spent a couple of days in DC in late April, 2001, and saw Hillary Clinton, John...
During our family trip to Washington last summer we were able to see many historic sites and famous places. However, one of the true highlights of the trip was a visit to the offices of one of our Senators (Evan Bayh-Indiana) and a chance to view the...
Pros: Free tickets to the Senate and House, other tickets, too. Cons: Must ask for them as early as possible
We just returned from our 8 days in D.C. and are still on cloud nine. We had contacted our representatives for tickets to sights in Washington and were given tickets to see the Senate and House chambers. Luckily they were both in session the day we...
Pros: Spectacular design, furnishings; interesting tours Cons: Large crowds, not appealing to some
The Capitol of this great country is one of the most recognized landmarks in the world. I got to see it in all of its glorified supremacy during Spring Break last year. It dominates the entire city, and is quite overwhelming when first viewed....
Pros: A very important part of our history and lives... Cons: Only so much that the public can do there...
There are many reasons to see the Capital the history, the art, the beauty, the legacy, the power, the importance, the future and I think any one of them is important enough to justify seeing it at least once in your life.
Pros: Beautiful, eleganr Cons: Many steps, lots of walking

Pros: An insider's view of the Capitol Cons: None!
If you are headed to DC, no trip would be complete without a visit to the U.S. Capitol. We planned several months ahead and were able to get a guided tour by the Congressional Aide from my friend's home state (Colorado). This was fantastic! Not only...
Pros: awesome sight, beautiful Cons: VERY touristy
I am definitely not saying you should not visit the Capitol on your trip to DC. The trip wouldn't be the same without visiting the Capitol, but it definitely should not be the main attraction. I have had the chance to go on a couple of tours and have...
