Fake#1 Sightseeing of government buildings is allowed only in Belarus
Visiting government buildings is available to ordinary people only in Belarus, as stated by Sergei Klishevich, deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.
“In many countries, primarily the in West, government bodies are something sacred and closed. You know what happens in the USA, if someone tries to get into parliament, and God forbid, into the White House, what happens to these people. These are persons — political oligarchs, who have protected themselves from folks. And they decide the destinies of the whole world there. Yet we have truly people's power”, Sergei Klishevich said on the air of the program ‘Azarenok.Napryamuyu’ on the Belarus 1 TV channel on October 24.
However, everyone can visit the Capitol building in the U.S. — you need only register on its website, choose a proper time, and book an excursion. Sightseeing tours of the Capitol are held daily from Monday to Saturday.
Congress hearings and meetings are also available for visiting. US citizens need only an invitation, which is given by their congressmen. Foreigners receive an invitation straight in the Capitol office.
To get into the White House, Americans must arrange a visit through their congressmen at least 21 days in advance. Foreigners — with the help of the U.S. embassy in their country.
As for Europe, you can book a UK Parliament House guided tour. The King's residence also provides sightseeing tours. The presidential palaces in Warsaw and Vilnius are open to visitors by prior arrangement.
