4. United States Capitol

CAPITOL HILL.   The White House notwithstanding, this domed icon of democracy is the capital city's most significant and, perhaps, most impressive building. Its majestic architecture is a signature aspect of the Washington landscape, and the view from the front steps is unparalleled. Guided tours cover the highlights of the Capitol complex's history and architecture. Tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the Guide Service kiosk on the southwest side of the Capitol. As you might expect, the lines tend to be long, so arrive early.
