Top place in DC. Amazing library. Free tours at 11 and 3:15 pm. Do listen to the audio guide if you miss the tour. Also the inner library is fantastic to see. Must see the Guttenburg Bible. I will recommend to go around 4 pm, as less crowded, and...Read More

First, a few prompts: 1) there will be a line 2) get a ticket online before. None of the abovementioned is critical, but it's good to be prepared. The Library is a museum which is made like a a beautiful book or, better to say,...Read More

The Library of Congress is absolutely stunning. Walking in feels like stepping into a palace—there’s so much detail in the ceilings, the marble, the murals—it’s hard to believe it’s a library. The Main Reading Room especially is jaw-dropping, with its towering columns and soft light...Read More

A fantastic building with wonderful architecture. Also an excellent exhibition comparing George Washington with King George 3rd. There are also some books! Although the main library is out of bounds for visitors. Highly recommended.
