What people say
Sarah Jeltema
"The White House is one of the most iconic landmarks in Washington, D.C. and the official residence of the President of the United States. Visitors can take a guided tour of the White House to see the public rooms and learn about its history and architecture. The tours are free, but tickets are required and must be requested through your member of Congress several months in advance. The White House is open for tours Tuesday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The area surrounding the White House is also worth exploring. The National Mall, which is home to many of D.C.'s famous monuments and museums, is just a short walk away. The Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial are all located within walking distance. Visitors can also explore nearby neighborhoods such as Georgetown and Dupont Circle for dining, shopping, and entertainment options. It's best to visit the White House early in the day or during off-peak hours to avoid crowds and long lines."

"Take a public tour of the White House! Public tours are free of charge and can be scheduled through your congressional representative.
White House tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis and can be submitted up to 90 days in advance. The minimum time is 21 days in advance of your visit, but the sooner the better.

"Following brunch, take a leisurely stroll towards the nation's most iconic building—the White House. For those keen on an interior tour, it's necessary to contact your representatives at least 3 weeks in advance. If an interior visit isn't in the cards, revel in the grandeur of the White House and its scenic grounds from a distance."
