Find parking near Virginia State Capitol
Paying for parking near Virginia State Capitol is easy
The Virginia State Capitol at 1000 Bank Street is a landmark of American democracy, designed in part by Thomas Jefferson and recognized as the first public building in the United States built in the neoclassical style. As the working seat of Virginia’s government, it draws legislators, professionals, and tourists year round, and its landscaped Capitol Square and historic interiors make it a must-see stop for anyone exploring downtown Richmond.
Because Capitol Square has no public parking on its grounds and the surrounding streets offer only limited, time-restricted metered spaces, traffic and curbside spots can be competitive, especially on weekdays and when the General Assembly is in session. Planning your visit and arranging parking near Virginia State Capitol in advance helps you avoid circling busy one-way streets, adhere to posted time limits, and enjoy your tour or meetings without rushing back to move your car. Visitors should always review current city parking rules and official guidance before they arrive, as regulations and availability can change.
