Arriving and entering the Capitol Building
Guests at the Capitol enter the building through the security checkpoint at the "Carriage Entrance" under the south steps, which can be accessed from the sidewalks at the southeast and southwest corners of the building.
(If you climb all the stairs, you will have a great view, but you will be unable to enter the building from there.)
Access additional parking and shuttle information.
