Take a tour of the U.S. Supreme Court while you stay with us at our Washington DC Hotel. Listen to a public lecture every hour on the half-hour Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m on days when the Court is not sitting, all for free! Seating is first come, first served. Be prepared for security at the entrance and take a look at the visitors etiquette to be well prepared for your visit.
Visitors may also listen in to a live oral argument of a case brought to the court. As indicated by their website, “All oral arguments are open to the public, but seating is limited and on a first-come, first-seated basis. Before a session begins, two lines form on the plaza in front of the building. One is for those who wish to attend an entire argument, and the other, a three-minute line, is for those who wish to observe the Court in session only briefly. Please do not hold a space in either line for others who have not yet arrived.”
Tours may be taken by the visitors, however, there are no guides. For more information, take a look at the Tours section of their website. Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the exhibits available on display and the Visitor’s Film.

Of course there is the national mall and all of the amazing Smithsonian Exhibits, but when in DC don’t forget to see the White House! The White House Tour takes some preparation as you will need to seek out a pass from your states congressional office. For those visitors from abroad, please see your local DC embassy for details on acquiring this pass. Tours are offered in the early morning hours for security reasons, so it is wise to try to get your pass the day before your projected tour.
