The White House website states that foreign nationals interested in touring the White House should contact their Embassy to arrange a tour. However, due to the substantial security requirements mandated by the U.S. Department of State to facilitate such a visit, including a senior diplomat in person, we are unable to process any applications for touristic purposes at this time.
Visitors are encouraged to book their own tour here:
The Embassy recommends taking a virtual tour of the White House or stopping by the White House Visitor Center instead (1450 Pennsylvania Avenue NW between 14/15th Street NW).
Alternatively, the U.S. Capitol can be visited at no charge. Guided tours can be booked in advance (Guided Tours). Please visit this site for further information.
Furthermore, most museums in Washington, DC do not charge admission and cover a variety of subjects, from art to air and space. They are mainly located on the National Mall (Metro accessible through the stops “Smithsonian” or “Archives”).
Tours of the Pentagon have to be booked individually through the Pentagon website. The Embassy cannot assist in the booking process for Pentagon tours. -
