Capitol Hill Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Capitol Hill
This neighbourhood boasts the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, and enough familiar news backdrops to make your jaw drop.

Capitol Hill is nirvana for political junkies! What’s a bit more surprising about this neighbourhood is the fact that there’s a proper residential community here, complete with tree-lined streets and decades-old mom-and-pop establishments. For more than 150 years, Eastern Market has offered a colourful showcase of baked goods, fruits and veg, flowers, and mouth-watering meats and cheeses. If you’d like more sit-down options, head to Barracks Row, where you’ll find heaps of restaurants to suit any fancy.
