Getting to Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill is also easily accessible by taxicab or Metro. The House
buildings are on the House (south) side of the Capitol, the Senate
buildings on the Senate (north) side of the Capitol. If traveling
to the Senate side, take the Red Line to Union Station. If
traveling the the House side, take the Blue or Orange Line to Capitol
Hill South. Click here for a map of

In addition to traveling by Metro, there are plenty of taxi cabs
available. The easiest way to get a cab is by flagging one down
from the sidewalk curb. Click here
