There are millions of Local Guides around the world who share reviews, photos, and knowledge on Google Maps. Doing this helps others find great local places, supports small businesses, and can even make it easier for people to get vital information. (Think about the importance of knowing whether a place is wheelchair accessible or the hours of operation for a nearby clinic.) There are many reasons why Local Guides contribute, but whether you love to review vegetarian restaurants or add missing info, you can make a huge impact on a global scale. By sharing your knowledge on Google Maps, you’re telling your story and having it seen by people all around the world. Being a Local Guide could also lead to being featured in a Local Guides video or getting an invitation to Google-hosted Local Guides events like last year’s Summit or this year’s Connect Live.

The most iconic building in the world history of democracy and politics. It symbolizes world’s oldest democracy. Even if these do not bother, you must visit, for the sake of architecture of the building. The arena is wonderful. There are some guided tours inside, which you must take. There are several online sites, where you can reserve these tours. You need to research them much ahead, otherwise you might not get them. These are always in big demand! Also, the tour might take at least 2-3 hours. So your entire Capitol Hill trip can take a good 3-4 hours. Plan accordingly. Again, it’s highly recommended and a must visit while you are in DC area.

This is a great place to visit if in DC. The place is a great example of excellent architecture. The capitol dome is a unique piece of art.Our guide Ms. Anne Mary gave us the best of her knowledge during our visit. If you are an ardent lover of American history and political sciences, do visit this place!

The Capitol Building is beautiful in form and representation. Removed from the politics of it all, the building has come to represent a democratic society and does so with a level of grandeur not often seen in American architecture. The amount of detail in this building is amazing and the short, but sweet, tour they regularly offer 6 days a week is highly informative. My favorite room is the Rotunda, which features 8 massive and important paintings that many Americans will have seen in their textbooks during school, such the painting of President Washington's surrendering of power when he left the office (the first peaceful handing over of power). This location is a MUST-SEE when visiting Washington, both the outside of the building and the free tour inside.

we came here at night time and we noticed that during that Time parking was not difficult. in reality we only came up to the building and took some photos in front of the night lighted building as well as of the other monuments in the city that we could see from there. this is a cool place to visit for sure, it is a must when around town. I did not go inside so I can't say how it works to get inside or if people are allowed inside at all for that matter. But I cannot stress enough that this is a must when coming to town.
