Step into the heart of American democracy at the U.S. Capitol. This isn't just a building; it's a living symbol of the nation's history, and you can feel that energy from the moment you walk its halls. On a free guided tour, you'll stand beneath the magnificent Rotunda and explore National Statuary Hall, surrounded by figures who have shaped the country. During the month of December the grounds of the Capitol become festive after the arrival of the People's Christmas Tree!
