This is yet another freebie in DC and you should take advantage of going through a guided tour of this historic building. To get into a session, though, you’ll have to contact your state senator or representative.

Very nice place. Nice walk area and green grass around. Looks pretty at night from far away. Nice pictures can be taken in front of the building where many discussions happen.
The view in this picture is actually the best vantage point to get a picture without other people in the picture. If you're lucky, you might get one in front without too many other observers.

See CApitol Hill for details but our Capitol sits on Capitol Hill and dont miss this for the Senate & House of Representatives.
