View City

The White House is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Washington, DC, Although it may seem overly obvious, visiting the White House can be a worthwhile experience for just about anyone, but especially for those interested in history and politics. It’s an iconic symbol of the United States, and visiting it can offer a unique opportunity to see firsthand where the President of the United States lives and works. 

Visiting the capital without at least walking by the White House simply won’t do. At the very least, stop by and take some photos from Pennsylvania Ave. All it takes is a little planning, including figuring out where to store luggage while you’re touring the property. Here is everything you need to know: 

About the White House

The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. It was built in 1792 and has been the home of every U.S. President since John Adams. The interior of the White House features many ornate rooms and historic artifacts, including the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, and the State Dining Room. The White House is widely considered to be Washington, DC's premier landmark.

The White House also serves as a venue for official state functions, ceremonies, and events. It is open for public tours, which must be arranged in advance through a member of Congress. The White House is a symbol of American democracy and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to admire its historic significance and architectural beauty. There is also a White House Store where official merchandise is sold, which might be of higher quality than the street shops and local businesses selling similar items.

Understandably, security concerns limit your luggage storage when visiting. There are no luggage lockers available at the White House, and visitors are not allowed to bring bags, backpacks, or any other large items inside the White House, and all personal items must be carried with you throughout the tour.

If you need to bring a bag or other personal items with you, it is recommended that you leave them in your car or at your hotel. Alternatively, finding a luggage storage service is important for making your visit as smooth as possible. 

Top attractions near the White House

There are countless attractions conveniently located near the White House in Washington DC. Here are some of the best landmarks to consider visiting:

National Mall luggage storage 

The National Mall is a massive park that’s home to many of the city's most famous monuments and memorials, including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Smithsonian Museums luggage storage

The Smithsonian Museums are a collection of 19 museums and galleries that feature a wide range of exhibits such as history, art, and science. Some of the most popular properties include the National Museum of American History, the National Air and Space Museum, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Look into Smithsonian luggage storage options before heading over.

National Gallery of Art luggage storage

The National Gallery of Art is one of the world's premier art museums and features a vast collection of American and European art from the Middle Ages to modern art. You can't bring large bags into the gallery, but they do have a cloakroom to store bags no bigger than 56 x 25 x 45 cm. During busy periods, the luggage storage here fills up fast, so it's better to head to a Bounce location before entering the gallery.

United States Capitol luggage storage

The United States Capitol is the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. government and offers tours of its historic halls and chambers. If you've ever wanted to know more about the democratic process, this is the place to do it. Bounce's Capitol Hill luggage storage is the best place to drop everything off before going on your tour.

Ford's Theatre luggage storage

As the theater where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, Ford's Theatre now operates as a working theater and museum. Take in a show or tour the museum to learn about this important historic event.

National Archives luggage storage

The National Archives are home to some of the nation's most important historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It's crazy to have all this history in a single place, and it's well worth checking out.

Transport options at the White House 

The best way to get to the White House depends on where you are coming from and your mode of transportation. 

Washington Metro luggage storage

The Washington Metro has a station right near the White House called McPherson Square Station on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. It’s the most convenient and cost-effective way to get to the White House if you are traveling from within the D.C. metropolitan area. If you're taking the train in and out of DC, you'll want to find luggage storage near the White House to drop any heavier bags off.

Driving

If you are driving to the White House, there is highly limited parking available on nearby streets and parking garages. Frankly, driving is not recommended.

Walking

Get those steps in. If you’re staying in the nearby downtown area, walking to the White House may be the most convenient option. 

Local tips and insider info

  • Plan ahead. Visiting the White House requires planning ahead as you'll need to submit a request for a tour through your Member of Congress. You should do this at least 21 days in advance, and it's best to do it as early as possible. Another thing to plan is your full itinerary because there are simply way too many places to visit while in DC, and you want to fit as much in as possible. 
  • Know what to bring. You'll need to go through security to enter the White House, so make sure you know what you can and can't bring. You'll need a valid government-issued ID, and you'll be subject to security screening. Items like cameras, bags, and food are not allowed, so plan accordingly. This is where finding a place to store luggage is massively important!
  • Arrive early. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time to allow for security screening and to ensure that you don't miss your tour.
  • Know (and follow) the rules. Once inside the White House, follow the rules and directions of the Secret Service and White House staff. Don't touch any of the artwork or furnishings, and stay with your tour group at all times.
  • The White House Gift Shop is located on the ground floor of the White House Visitor Center and offers a wide range of souvenirs, gifts, and memorabilia related to the White House and the presidency. 

Conclusion

If you’re visiting Washington, DC, visiting the White House is an obvious choice. It does, however, require some planning. With tight security, it’s worthwhile to find luggage storage in Washington, DC, to make things run smoothly. Luckily, there are convenient luggage storage locations at The National Gallery of Art, Union Station, and the Smithsonian, all nearby so you can fully explore all the best historical landmarks in Washington, DC!
