Towering over Capitol Hill, the United States Capitol stands as the seat of the nation’s legislative power. Built in neoclassical style, its first cornerstone was laid in 1793. Tourists can marvel at its grand Rotunda, adorned with frescoes including the Apotheosis of Washington, or visit the stately halls of the Senate and House of Representatives. Free guided tours, booked online or at the Capitol Visitor Center, include a chance to see the Crypt and the old Supreme Court Chamber. Nearby are the Library of Congress and Supreme Court, creating a grand historic neighborhood perfect for strolling. Security screenings are in place, so arrive early to pass through lines smoothly.
