The Spirit of Justice Park

Start the tour here, at the Spirit of Justice Park! Located near the Capitol South Metro Station, this park offers a welcoming green space at the edge of Capitol Hill. Visitors can enjoy shaded seating, open lawns, and views of the Capitol area, and one of DC’s most historic neighborhoods.

Bartholdi Fountain and Gardens at U.S. Botanic Garden

The Bartholdi Fountain is a striking cast-iron masterpiece located near the U.S. Botanic Garden. Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, it features dramatic tiers, flowing water, and ornate figures that come alive when illuminated at night. Surrounding the fountain, visitors can explore beautiful gardens, including a Kitchen Garden, which teaches visitors about urban gardening!

United States Botanic Garden

The U.S. Botanic Garden is a lush, living museum showcasing plants from around the world. Inside the Conservatory, visitors can explore vibrant exhibits featuring tropical rainforest plants, desert succulents, orchids, medicinal herbs, and seasonal displays. Outside, the surrounding gardens highlight native species, pollinator habitats, and edible plants. It’s a peaceful and educational stop where you can wander, relax, and discover the incredible diversity and importance of plant life.

Ulysses S. Grant Memorial

The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial is one of the largest and most impressive equestrian statues in the United States, located at the base of Capitol Hill. Visitors can admire the commanding statue of Civil War General and President Ulysses S. Grant, set before a long reflecting pool and flanked by dramatic bronze sculptures of cavalry and artillery in motion. From here, you can also hear stories about Grant’s legacy, as well as nearby landmarks like the Garfield Memorial and the Peace Memorial, adding deeper context to this powerful site.

US Capitol Grounds

It’s a great spot for photos and taking in the grandeur of the Capitol. While here, you’ll also hear stories about the landmark moments that unfolded on these grounds, bringing this iconic space to life.

Summerhouse

The Summerhouse is a charming and often-overlooked spot tucked into the grounds of Capitol Hill. This small, brick structure dates back to the 1800s and once served as a quiet retreat for visitors and lawmakers seeking shade and fresh air. Today, visitors can step inside, admire its simple historic design, and enjoy a peaceful break from the surrounding landmarks. It’s a unique place to pause—and hear stories that bring this hidden corner of Capitol Hill to life.

Taft Memorial Carillon

The Robert A. Taft Memorial and Carillon honors the longtime senator known as “Mr. Republican.” This quiet spot features a bronze statue of Taft alongside a tall tower housing a carillon—a musical instrument made of a set of bells played using a keyboard or automatic mechanism. Visitors can relax on nearby benches, listen for the bells chiming throughout the day, and enjoy a peaceful pause while learning about Taft’s legacy and his impact on American government.

Senate Fountain

The Senate Fountain and surrounding park offer a peaceful green space just steps from the U.S. Capitol. Centered around a simple, elegant fountain, the area provides shaded paths, benches, and a quiet place to relax amid the bustle of Capitol Hill. Visitors can pause here to enjoy the scenery, take photos, or recharge before continuing their walk. It’s a lesser-known spot that adds a calm, refreshing break to the tour while still being close to the heart of American government.

Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument House and Museum

The Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument preserves the historic home of the National Woman’s Party and honors the fight for women’s rights in the United States.

The building itself dates back to the 1800s, offering a unique glimpse into both political and everyday history.

Florida House

The Florida House is a unique and welcoming spot on Capitol Hill, serving as an embassy of sorts for the state of Florida. Housed in a historic building, it offers visitors a place to learn about Florida’s culture, tourism, and history through exhibits and friendly staff.
