We liked there were lots of trees for shade. It was a nice break from walking to sit in the grass. There was a lot of security around so we always felt safe.Full review by AdorableKaren

Absolute a must do visit. The place is excellent from the moment you go through security, until it finishes. For non Americans take your passport, and you may get chance to visit one of the houses in…Full review by F1LoverAnn
I have been to Capitol Hill but did not know you could go inside. Do you have to be an American citizen to go inside? If not and you can get tickets, where do you get them from?

No issue being a US Citizen. Captiol Tours are OPEN to EVERYONE. All you need to do is go online and book at the Capitol Reservation website. Pick your day, date, time and print out the confirmation to bring along with you. Check out the Visit The Capitol website You can also enter the main area without a tour but I recommend the tour for the historical information. Tour takes about 45 min if I remember correctly.
Thanks! 1st. Can we take pictures inside and outside the building? 2nd. Do we need reservation to come? Can we opt not to go with the guided tour? 3rd. We're planning to drive from NY. What the nearest area where we can park our vehicle either for free or for an inexpensive parking fee?

Basically, you can take pictures everywhere. Timed reservations are a must. They can be made online at the Capitol's website.Google US Capitol tickets. Probably the best parking will be at he Stadium Armory metro station, coming from NY. Go to wmata com for full info on train schedules, maps, parking, etc.

As a US citizen, I requested an appointment for my then wife and my granddaughter and me and it took about 5-6 months to get an approval. And this was done via my Congressman. I do not think there is enough time for your clearance. But you can try on 2 fronts. 1) contact the Congress on how to request. 2) Contact your Embassy in Washington and see if they will assist you on this. And reading some of the other replies for you it might be easier that it was for me. Maybe contact one of the Tour Companies in Washington (like Grayline tours) they might be able to answer all your questions. When I went I did the White house tour then Congress all on the same day. Hope I was able to help you and have fun.
