A pink granite landmark at the center of Austin — larger than the U.S. Capitol and open to visitors daily. Walk the rotunda, step into the House and Senate chambers, and explore the surrounding grounds.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The largest state capitol in the US — a pink Texas granite landmark that rises above downtown and anchors Austin’s identity. Larger than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, the building is fully open to the public, with a soaring rotunda, historic legislative chambers, and expansive grounds. Free tours run daily; the best experience is simply walking the building and grounds at your own pace.
