At the top of this list of places to visit is usually the residence of the United States president, the White House.

It is usually pretty tough to get one of the limited spots to take this tour, but did you know that you can now do it virtually thanks to Google Street View?

The White House has been documented by a Google Street View camera in almost its entirety, except for the West Wing which hosts the president’s Oval Office and its most secretive areas.

The main part of the building, with its many rooms including dining rooms, sitting rooms, and rooms displaying artwork and fancy china, can be explored freely with your computer and Internet browser.

The map will show you which rooms are which, and you will even be able to see information and descriptions about many of the pieces of furniture and artwork that you will see on display in this building which was built in the late 18th century.

Even if you might not be able to travel to DC or if it may be hard to tour the White House when you are able to get there, this virtual tour is a great option for exploring one of the United States’ most famous buildings.

If you want to take a tour of the White House, there are some important steps to follow. All tours must be requested and booked in advance due to high demand, so keep that in mind.

First, if you are a United States citizen, you must request a tour no more than 90 days and no less than 3 weeks before the requested date. This process is done through your local House of Representatives’ office holder.

If you aren’t a citizen, you must contact your country’s embassy in Washington, DC in order to inquire about the possibility of a tour. Usually, it is more difficult for foreigners to tour the White House, but it isn’t impossible.

The White House is only open for tours from Tuesday through Saturday and is closed on federal holidays. From Tuesday to Thursday, the tours take place from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, and on Fridays and Saturdays, they last until 12:30 pm after starting at the same time.

When requesting your tour, be sure to know which dates you have available for touring the White House, and do it as soon as possible! Availability is limited, so the closer to the 90-day opening you request your tour, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to visit.

Good luck, and enjoy!
