25+ Free Things to Do in Washington, D.C. (Updated 2025)
"I liked how easy it is to see the Capitol: free tours start every 10 minutes throughout the day (you can reserve passes online in advance or try for same-day passes from 8:30am), and there are specialty in-depth tours like Indigenous Peoples in Capitol Art, Heroes of Civil Rights, and Votes for Women that run once per day Monday–Friday; gallery tickets to watch Congress in session are also free but must be requested in advance from your senators or representatives." - Matthew Kepnes
