"Built between 1792 and 1800, the White House is one of the United States oldest public buildings in the capital. Situated at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the ""Peoples House"" serves as a reminder of the United States' rich history and memorializes its founders.


It’s easy to get to the exterior gates of the White House for a memorable photo. Lafayette Park offers the best photo opportunities.


For an up-close experience, U.S. citizens can contact their Representative or Senator to obtain free tickets for a public tour inside this historic house. Non-U.S. citizens can contact their embassy to arrange a tour as well.


The White House Visitor Center offers exhibits and information about the building and what's inside.


The White House Garden is also open to the public for special events. Visitors can explore the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden, Children's Garden, and South Lawn.


It really is one astounding attraction and one of the best places to visit in the United States."
