As a tourist in Washington DC, is it possible to visit either the White House, or the US Capitol Building?
If it is possible, does the process differ for US residents and foreign tourists? And do you have to book in advance, and if so, how far…
During my next visit to Moscow I would like to visit the Russian State Duma. I am aware that it's possible for Russian citizens to visit the building, but what about foreigners?
If it's possible, I'd prefer to do it as a last-minute thing, rather…
I would like to visit the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany and I wonder:
Which parts of the building are open for tourists?
Is it for free?
Do I need a reservation?
Are there any restrictions for non-German citizens?

As a US citizen, to tour the White House you have to go through your member of Congress. I did so, through their website, and they had a field asking for the dates I'd like to do the tour. My tentative game plan is to be in DC over the weekend.…
I was thinking a cool souvenir for US cities would be to get an FBI Challenge Coin whenever I'm in a city with an FBI Field Office or Resident Agency. Unfortunately, it is not clear to me how this might be done.
