All tickets are provided to my constituents on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the large number of visitors, please request them as early as possible in order to maximize your chances. For information on sightseeing and attractions, please visit my Washington, DC Tourism Information page.

Our office can arrange guided tours of the Capitol for constituents through the new Capitol Visitor Center. The Capitol Visitor Center is open to visitors from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Inauguration Day. There are no tours provided on Sundays.

Tours generally last approximately 45-60 minutes and do not include the House or Senate Gallery. If you would like to visit the House and/or Senate Gallery, you are welcome to pick up Gallery Passes in our office, 1237 Longworth House Office Building, before your tour. We recommend that you submit all Capitol tour requests to our office at least two weeks in advance.

You may also book a guided Capitol tour at your own convenience directly at http://www.visitthecapitol.gov  up to one day prior to your desired tour date. If you have any questions about this process, or if we can be of any additional assistance to you, please contact us at (202) 225-9888.

Tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Requests can be submitted up to six months in advance and no less than 21 days in advance.

All White House tours are free of charge. (Please note that White House tours may be subject to last minute cancellation.)

The Library of Congress is not only the world’s largest library, but also the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution.

You can also arrange a public tour through the Library of Congress' website.

The guided tour highlights the symbolic art and architecture of the building, as well as the collections and services of the Library of Congress. 

A tour of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, situated on the banks of the Potomac River, is a highlight of any visit to Washington, D.C.
