The glass dome of the Reichstag is one of the architectural masterpieces I've seen recently. Ascending and Descending by ramps that never meet. Revealed sights outside. Huge screen that protects from the sun, able to move around on its axis according to the position of the sun, and shade the dome. Mirrors pillar, cone-shaped, rising upward to the open to... More

The cellar with a piece of the maintenance tunnel, which was said to be used by the Nazi's in 1933 to set the Reichstag on fire. The guide mentioned even Markus van der Lubbe , a dutch communist, mentally retarded, who get the death penalty for arseny of the Reichstag. Even that the German Bundes Court has rehabilitatie hij and... More

Don't miss visiting the Reichstag Dome. It is better to book your time slot in advance before you go. The process is easy (though several emails ping back and forward) but the visit is worthwhile. From the top of the building, Berlin is laid our before you and as it is so flat you can see pretty much everything. And... More

Book your reservation at the restaraunt at least 3-4 weeks in advance and they will ask for your passport info. This is necessary to get you clearance into the building. You will bypass long lines with your reservation but be on time or they will give it away. You can go early and look around the Dom while you wait.... More

I would highly recommend an early start we booked in as soon as it opened and it was well worth it we arrived early before the queue formed so once we went through security etc we found ourselves in a great position to see a stunning dome with views across Berlin unspoilt by hoards of tourists absolutely marvellous

The Bundestag is the headquarters of the German Parliament. Visiting is free. After a check baggage and body search, just like at the airport tourists enter the Parliament building. You can see some purple chairs the plenary hall through a glass door. Take an elevator to the first floor. In the middle stands the conical structure that goes up to... More

It's not rocket science to organise a visit here (it is a working parliament..remember????). We enrolled online and had an answer in a couple of days for a guided tour and a visit of the Dome. The tour is well worth doing and takes about 1 hour to 90 minutes. And the dome with the audio guide is a real... More

I really wanted to visit the Reichstag so applied online about 2 weeks before we went to Berlin and selected the date and time with no problems - received an e mail to print off with our invitation. This meant that when we turned up we went straight through (the lovely guy on security even wished me happy birthday on... More

Great view, be sure to pick audio guide with info about the view and building itself. I chose the evening tour which was after sunset. Great view but I could not identify some of the buildings in the dark that were described on the audio guide.

We had booked the terrace restaurant at the top of the building and by doing so avoided the queues. Review of the meal is elsewhere but the visit is a must see and it is free and must be the best for views in Berlin.
