- Palacio Federal Legislativo (Capitolio)
The 19th-century legislative palace two blocks from Plaza Bolívar: view the exterior and the gilded Salón Elíptico dome from the plaza with your guide — interior access is not something to plan on.

- Parque Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda (Parque del Este)
