Capitol & Library of Congress

This highlight tour of Capitol Hill brings the political center of Washington DC alive with stories & trivia.

This page provides details of our Capitol Hill & Library of Congress Walking Tour, including tips on directions, times, and sights covered.

Our Capitol Hill & Library of Congress Tours bring you to the top of "the Hill." A trip to DC would not be complete without a visit to the seat of our legislative and judicial branches.

As the government holdings and staff expanded, the Library of Congress' Jefferson Building, the Supreme Court Building, and Congressional office buildings were built here.

Join DC by Foot as we explore these beautiful buildings and the meaning behind them.
