US Capitol
US Capitol is one of the most iconic buildings in Washington DC. I would say it’s a must see. Entrance was free. Once we got through security ( for prohibited 🚫 items see https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/plan-visit/prohibited-items )’we made our way to the tour (45 mins long). I would suggest that you pre-book your place on a tour on the Capitol Hill website to avoid queuing ( https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/plan-visit/book-tour-capitol). The tour was packed with information about the history of the building and the congress.
After the tour we spent 45 mins !!!!! queuing to go into the senate gallery ( https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/plan-visit/watching-congress-session). I am not sure it was worth the wait.
We then had a quick snack in the large cafeteria that had a selection of basic hot/cold/sweet and savoury food.
Overall I would say the building was extremely accessible and I would definitely recommend visiting it. More details about accessibility to follow.
