Om
Hurtige fakta: The iconic dome weighs nearly 9 million pounds and took 11 years just to cast in iron. Over 600 paintings and sculptures inside celebrate important moments and figures in American history.
Højdepunkter: Marvel at the Whispering Gallery where voices travel across the rotunda with surprising clarity. The Capitol's crypt holds the resting place intended for George Washington, though he was later moved to Mount Vernon.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as there's a lot of walking on marble floors.
- Capture the rotunda from the upper balconies for stunning photos.
- Skip the gift shop until the end to avoid carrying bags during the tour.
- Arrive early to get a spot in the most popular guided tours.
