state capitol

州政府大楼很不错，有免费的解说，每10多分钟就有解说带着人去里面转，当然你也可以自己转我去的那天里面有很多小孩， 据说是办公和旅游一起的，但是没看到几个办公的人， 有洲的议会等等，总之挺好的停车可以停马路边上的咪表，1刀/小时，州政府也有供游客的停车场，免费2个小时（不过我没找到。 。。 ）

这是我第一次独自去旅游。。。然后我请了一位导游。这里有那么多的历史我都未曾听说过。首府有一个非公开来的通道。在这里可以听到很多关于德克萨斯之星的历史和其他的一些轶事。

如果没有来过这里,那就不曾来过奥斯汀,如果你对历史感兴趣,那么这里大有可观。我们还去到了德克萨斯州众议院(Texas State Senate)的楼层参观(通常是不在参观范围内的),当然也要额外的门票的。圆形大厅挂满了所有德克萨斯州历任总统肖像,从Sam Houston到德克萨斯州的官员,包括George Bush和Rick Perry。

如果你喜欢这种格调的东西那么在去市区购物前来这里走走还是很不错的。能够看到乔治·W·布什还当总统时的照片。如果你喜欢建筑物的话就会发现这里很美,要进到里面得过安检并且掏空口袋。我觉得你可以参加个旅行团,我们就是随便走走而已,大概花了15到20分钟。

如果你喜欢建筑和雕塑,来这儿准没错。国会大厦的翻新工作前段时间就结束了,这里真是越来越美了。

德克萨斯州议会大厦(State Capitol)对公众开放,并有导游。不过我们在游览建筑物之前,在四周走了走,一个当地的新闻摄制组正在拍摄圆形大厅。他们向我们展示了有关建筑的独特之处。 你可以直接站在圆形屋顶下的星星上讲话,声音就会回荡在耳边!距离星星一步之遥,回声就没了。导游非常不错,我们的年轻导游Liz知识渊博,我们问的所有问题都能很好的回答。建筑非常漂亮,工作在这里的每个人都非常友好,爱帮忙。这里是去奥斯汀一定要看的地方。

Loved walking thru with guide showing us the different paintings, and desks belonging to the different characters that emerge in As leaders and governors of Texas' unique history! Learned that it's the only state to have ever been a republic in its own standing. A foreign country within our states? Amazing!

Tour guide was very informative and friendly, plan to attend early, as with a large crowd you need to go through airport type security lines. Plan at least 2 hours to see the capital.

The grounds, the buildings, all of it....majestic! Took in the free tour offered and found it most interesting. But judging by the amount of people coming and going it leads me to believe there is just to much government in all of our lives,

This is a great way to spend a couple of hours. It is free in and well worth a visit. It is a fantastic building with some great history.

We just stopped by with no plans or reservations and walked right in (thru security) spent an hour or so looking around. Pretty cool portrait of Sam Houston along with statues of other famous Texans.

For a tourist, magnificent place to visit at least once! There's lots of places to visit while in Austin. Don't forget UT and kayaking in the river!

The size, the architecture, the walk up from Congress street, the rotunda...all worth a half hour of time to see. You can also take a longer tour, but that isn't necessary to get the feel of this wonderful building.

The renovation is complete. The grounds are stunning with so much to see outside, you know the inside will be amazing. Inside, the woodwork is amazing. The floors are stunning. Everywhere you look make you feel like you are stepping back in time. There are four floors above ground to browse through. We did not do the tour as there were just too many people there during spring break. The people who work there were all very nice and took the time to talk to us. You can tell they are proud of their building.Underground, there is even more. Take your time, it is well worth it!

The spirit of Texas, the bigger the better!!! So there comes the State Captiol! It is even more spectacular at night, thus it worth visiting twice.
