There are foreign language tours too. You can book online

No issue being a US Citizen. Captiol Tours are OPEN to EVERYONE. All you need to do is go online and book at the Capitol Reservation website. Pick your day, date, time and print out the confirmation to bring along with you. Check out the Visit The Capitol website You can also enter the main area without a tour but I recommend the tour for the historical information. Tour takes about 45 min if I remember correctly.

It is worth the tour even if the scaffolding is still up.

Basically, you can take pictures everywhere. Timed reservations are a must. They can be made online at the Capitol's website.Google US Capitol tickets. Probably the best parking will be at he Stadium Armory metro station, coming from NY. Go to wmata com for full info on train schedules, maps, parking, etc.

Just go to the visitor centre within Capitol Hill and they will advise you there and then, we just turned up on the day and were able to tour and see the congress and we are not US citizens, my only recommendation is to go early in the day so you have plenty of time to look around as there are several tour options once inside

Bonjour. Je l ai visité l ete dernier et sauf erreur, les visites etaient commentées uniquement en anglais ( avec une sacré organisation !) neanmoins, visite à ne pas rater, salles magnifiques, on peut s assoir au parlement,....on y est !!! Meme si on ne comprend pas, on apprecie cette visite riche d histoire et de symboles. Peut lire les guides avant d y aller pour mieux comprendre ? ( et ne pas rater la magnifique bibliotheque)

Yes it is easy access to the metro....not suited for parking if you drive.
