A highlight of the Old Post Office Pavilion is its 315 foot Clock Tower, which offers unparalleled sweeping 360 degree views of DC. National Park Service Rangers give free Clock Tower tours everyday!

If you are unable to get tickets to the top of the Washington Monument try visiting the Old Post Office Pavilion. The free tour offers fantastic views of the nation’s capital. From the 270-foot observation deck visitors are treated to a views of the Capitol, White House, Washington Monument, Pentagon, Smithsonian museums, Supreme Court, and Lincoln Memorial. National Park Service rangers are on duty throughout the building to educate visitors about the building and surrounding attractions.

Run by the park service, you can go to the top of this tower (adjacent to what is now the Trump Hotel). Great views across the city, and interesting history of the carillon bells and Old Post Office building.

Great views of the city. Run by the US Park Service. Federal Triangle is the Metro stop.
