Although the White House website states that tours for non-U.S. citizens can be arranged through their respective embassies, the requirements for access to the White House by foreign nationals are so strict that the Embassy of Switzerland is not in a position to meet those requirements. Unfortunately this is the same for Pentagon tours. As much as we would like to help Swiss citizens in scheduling White House and Pentagon tours, we are unable to provide assistance under the current circumstances.

Visitors will find Washington, D.C., full of exciting places to go. Most museums do not charge admission and attractions such as the U.S. Capitol and the Library of Congress are open to the public without having to make an appointment in advance.
