United States Capitol, Washington DC

A wonderful opportunity to see our country's history as told through the eyes of our government. The tour is comprehensive and interesting. Our tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly. More than likely you will bump into an Elective or two. The fresco's and murals tell the American tale. Marble or bronze statuary decorate room after room. Both liberal and conservative ideology are displayed in the selection of art and in the large screen movie. The museum showing Congressional history is most informative and well presented. There are two gift shops, one for the Senate side and an exact duplicate on the House side. Mostly wheelchair accessible including bathrooms. Lots of walking.

The Capitol provides free tours to the public and is a great way to learn about the history of Austin. The Capitol building is a fantastic building to see. It's larger than the United State Capitol building because everything is bigger in Texas!

An amazing architectural structure with many open spaces inside and outside the premises. Beautiful stairways and guides help navigate the facility. There is even a place where you can eavesdrop on people in the lower floors, but I won't reveal it. This building has a lot of history inside, so it's a great stop on a visit of Washington, D.C.

Lovely ambiance to an evening stroll, especially because that's when you can have the National Mall all to yourself. It's beautiful when it's all lit up. Take a run by it in the morning for a peaceful workout.

Finally got to see the famous building in all its glory. The architecture is good although it's not in par with the European counterparts. Overall a good place to visit.
