"isn't this just asking if people are rich and/or in a big country" People replied the same thing on the poll asking whether they'd personally sat on a cow :-) As with the cows there's much more to it. There's lots of European countries with subsidised trips for schools to visit the legislature. And other, small countries, without that. Also: Seriously. I'm not asking if you own a moon. The fast majority of us have the financial means to visit another city at least once in our life..

@Pepijn I have visited 0, but just to visit the US Congress building would mean traveling nearly 1000km, and I live relatively close to Washington DC If I wanted to visit the capitals of the two nations that share a land border with the US, That adds another 4000km to the trip North America is a terrifying large place

@Pepijn Unfortunately we are at a point where more people would go out of their way and line up to see the interior of the bookshop in Porto that appeared in a Harry Potter film than would visit a parliament building.
