The country's center of political power, Reichstag Building houses the German Parliament. This grand building, designed by architect Paul Wallot in 1894, was renovated and reopened in 1999. Its glass dome, designed by architect Norman Foster, offers panoramic views of the city and is accessible by elevator. You'll almost always encounter a long line waiting for the elevator, especially on sunny days, so plan lots of extra time when visiting this site. Once on top, enjoy 360-degree views and listen to a free audio guide about the building and the surrounding city sites. You can visit the dome and get guided tours of the building only with confirmed reservations secured well in advance. Check the website for details on registering online or in person. Work out when and for how long to visit Reichstag Building and other Berlin attractions using our handy Berlin day trip planning site.

Guided tour of Bundestag is a must do thing in Berlin. The guide was very knowledgeable and he told us about the entire history of Bundestag and Germany's parliamentary system. We were showed the marks left by soviet soldiers on the walls and the bulletmarks. He explained how the German parliament functions. We were lucky to see Reichstag dome, as it is not always accessible. We were given audio guide for the dome. We got some of the most beautiful views of the city from Dome!

Great guided tour hosted by Eberhardt - his ability and knowledge was fantastic and his humor warm and friendly. This is my third visit and every time has been different compared to previous tours. Will be visiting again soon to lean more about the architecture, history and the parliament 👍

Place: 5/5 Experience: 2/5 The building looks majestic, and German and EU flags fluttering in the wind add to its splendour. The downside is, to get inside you need to book the ticket a month in advance, and there is no way to get last-minute drop-in tour.

Took a late evening tour of the Reichstag building. It required prior reservation. The visit was wonderful with audio guides and proper guidance from the staff. The exhibition itself was quite illustrative of the history of the building. It is really a pleasure to see landmarks of the Berlin from the glass dome of the Reichstag.

Located near all other historical landmarks in Berlin. This is an amazing building with so much history. It is such as shame of the fire which we will never know who started it...plenty of security, which I can understand as it is an active Parliament building. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Make sure you take your time and enjoy the view up from the top of the landmark. The last Russian graffiti just takes you into what the people back then were going through and just makes us appreciate their sacrifice.
