The views from the bell tower are worth a visit! Can see all of the monuments from up high and get a view of the Capitol that is stunning!

Awesome view and not crowded as it’s a hidden secret. Enter next to Starbucks on outside of Trump hotel .

Since the 2011 earthquake closed the Washington Monument , the 315 ft Old Post Office Bell Tower is the highest viewpoint open to the public to get a 360 view of the city . Admission is free.

Building is being purchased, and the visitor's center run by the NPS will be rennovates and enlarged. We basically had an elevator operator. Will come back!

Free! Great way to see the city .

Quaint free experience. I sadly felt there was a bit of Trump propaganda but that may because I don’t like him.

RC

A free and beautiful view of DC.

Trump was taking over this building when we were there.

The stairs are difficult to find (it's quite hidden) but well worth it! Best to look for the gas station which is right next to the steps. - Karin Chiu
