The pink-granite building is the centerpiece of downtown Austin, perched on a hill at 12th Street and Congress Avenue. Free guided tours are held daily, starting in the South Foyer, but brochures are also available on the first floor for self-guided tours. The Texas Legislature meets every two years, so you’ll have to check the schedule if you want to see an actual session in progress.

Standing 14 feet taller than the U.S. capitol building in Washington DC, this Renaissance revival landmark is impossible to miss. You’ll confirm that everything is bigger in Texas. Wander around on the immaculate terrazzo floors and gaze up at the star-crested rotunda. Or, if you're after a deeper understanding of the place, join one of the many official tours of the building, from a basic half-hour introduction to specialized theme tours such as Heroes of the Texas Revolution or Women in Texas History.

Completed in 1888, the State Capitol and its 22 acres of grounds and monuments are home to the office of the State Governor and the Chambers of the Texas Legislature. Protected as a National Historic Landmark, the building impresses with its dimensions; at 308 feet tall, it ranks as the sixth tallest state capitol, taller even than the US Capitol in Washington, DC. Visitors can stroll the park via the tree-lined path called the Great Walk and admire the numerous monuments. A Texas African American History Memorial, the Vietnam War monument, and a bronze statue of a Texas Ranger all capture attention along the Great Walk, as well as a miniature Statue of Liberty that was presented in 1951 by the Boy Scouts of America. The visitor center is located on the grounds and features exhibits about the history of Austin and the state of Texas. This is a good place to begin exploring downtown Austin. Free tours of the Capitol Building are given daily, except holidays. Visitors are also welcome to take a self-guided tour anytime the capital is open. Also of interest in the area is the recently restored Texas Governor's Mansion, accessible via free guided tours (reservations required). Address: 112 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas
