There’s much more to Capitol Hill than the US Capitol building that stands atop it. It is both the heart of the American government and a vibrant neighborhood at the geographic center of Washington D.C. From the Capitol Grounds—a lush landscape of sweeping lawns and more than 4,000 trees—to the Capitol Reflecting Pool and Congressional office buildings, there is much to see and do on the Hill.

The Mall Beyond the Museums Tour

The Mall Beyond the Museums Tour

1
The National Mall is known for museums, monuments, and memory on a national scale. However, the "People's Park," as it is sometimes known, contains a history that goes well beyond these massive edifices. Explore a different side of the National Mall while still seeing the major sites, such as Capitol Hill, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Castle, and more.  This tour visits the exterior of several well-known landmarks on the Mall and enters a couple of lesser-known sites. Perfect as a complementary activity to a visit to the Capitol Building, or any of the Smithsonian Museums, this tour is ideal for guests who enjoy off-the-beaten-path and unique historical information. This tour is approximately two hours, and circles around the primary part of the National Mall, with a halfway stop in front of the Washington Memorial for a bathroom break and an opportunity to purchase souvenirs, water, or snacks.

Just across the Capitol grounds lies the Supreme Court building, housing the highest court in the land. Hear, we’ll get to know how the American justice system operates, its controversial origins, and architectural feats. Also on our list of must-see Capitol Hill sites nearby: the Library of Congress, the oldest federal cultural institution in the country with an incredible story since its founding in 1800. You’ll learn how this critical part of government serves as the research arm of Congress and all about the workings of the library and its three buildings, connected by underground passageways and holding millions of books, manuscripts, and prints.

What are people saying about Capitol Hill

No PhotoHaunted DC Walking Tour on Capitol Hill
David_M, Oct 2023
Fun on two levels
With a full moon just before Halloween, a ghost tour was a natural fit. We enjoyed our guide, and the opportunities for photos on Capitol Hill were a big bonus feature. A pleasant evening walk.
