Capitol Hill Tour
Description
Are you in Washington and want to see the most important government buildings in the United States? At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Library of Congress and start a full tour of Capitol Hill.
As soon as we meet, we'll start to discover the secrets of Washington D.C., where all the political power of the United States is concentrated. To do so, we'll first approach the Capitol.
We'll admire this imposing neoclassical building that has served as inspiration for numerous government buildings around the world. In fact, Cuba, Argentina and Puerto Rico all have their own replicas. As we enter the interior, we'll learn all about the origins of Congress and see its spectacular dome, which crowns the Senate and House of Representatives!
The next stop on the Capitol Hill tour is the Supreme Court, where we'll tell you all about the country's main judicial body. Its imposing columns and friezes depicting the country's great lawmakers are some of its highlights.
Finally, we'll visit the Library of Congress, one of the largest in the world. In addition to its beauty, the interior of the library contains priceless treasures, such as one of the first Bibles printed by Gutenberg.
After a 3-hour guided tour, we'll bid farewell outside the library and bring the tour to an end.
