A public tour of the U.S. Capitol is free and open to anyone who makes an advanced reservation, although there are some same-day tickets available by standing in line at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center (note that lines will be long during spring and summer).

Tours of the U.S. Capitol can be booked several ways. U.S. residents can go directly through the offices of their Representative or Senators. These Congressional offices typically offer their own staff-led tours and most can assist in reserving a general tour.

The U.S. Capitol Visitor Center is the newest addition to the historic Capitol Complex. At nearly 580,000 square feet, the Visitor Center is the largest project in the Capitol's more than two-century history and is approximately three-quarters the size of the Capitol itself.
