Visiting Washington D.C.
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney

Washington, D.C. is like no other city in the world. Specifically designed to serve as the nation's Capital by French architect Pierre L'Enfant, it is also home to some of the greatest cultural and historical attractions in the world. To help you make your visit to our nation's Capital a memorable one, I suggest that you pay a visit to the House's Guide to Washington D.C.

In addition, I am available to assist residents of New York's 14th Congressional District attain tickets to tour certain federal attractions in Washington. And while I am happy to try to arrange for ticketed tours of the White House, Capitol, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and Kennedy Center, these sites are extremely popular and the number of tickets is limited. As such, it is important that you contact my office as early as possible (see table below). Even then, I can never guarantee tours.

When calling to request tickets for these tours please be prepared to provide your name, address, phone number, number of people in your party, and the dates that will be available to go on the tour(s). Also keep in mind that most Congressional tours are usually held early in the morning, so it is not possible to arrange more than one tour per day.

If you are interested in requesting tickets to these attractions, please call the Tour Coordinator in my Washington Office at (202) 225-7944.

Tours can be arranged to the following sights. For the best chance to get the tickets you want, please submit your request by the times recommended.  Times and security regulations for these tours change often, so please call my Washington, DC office for the most up-to-date information:
