Visiting the Reichstag dome is very impressive in any season. This time greetings from the heart of German parliamentarism with a beautiful view of the autumnal Tiergarten. A cafe and accessible paths make the visit even more convenient.

Definitely worth a visit when in Berlin.

Both architecturally and historically a significant and interesting visit. There are audio guides available in multiple major languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Russian), and there are special audio guides for children albeit only in German.

When illuminated at night it looks incredible, and equally I can imagine the views of Berlin in the daytime would be spectacular.

You must preregister online at least 1 week in advance, or you can go to the small portacabin across the street and book a slot for any remaining places in the next 2 or 3 days. You will need to provide ID both to reserve and to enter, and you will need to have your bag scanned on entry into the building.

Great view of the landmarks around Berlin from the top of the glass dome. The audio guide of the history of German democracy and the function of various parlimentary buildings surrounding the Bundestag adds a lot to the experience.

The Reichstag Dome is a must see for the architecture, views and history. It's also free but you must book in advance and take ID on the day. Definitely pick up the audio guide but remember to stop on the flat sections of the ramp or the guide may move on and you will miss bits.

You can see whole view of the city after entering the building. Requires prior reservation, though the visit is free. Had to pass through strict security check of personal belongings before entering.

Well worth a visit to this stunning building and incredible architectural dome design.

We queued for tickets 24hrs before our visit at the ticket office.. tickets are free and you will need a formal ID document for each person in your group (we had our passports to hand so easily done). You can do this online too.

Because you have a specific entrance time queuing is minimal. You’ll go through a full airport style security scanner before being allowed access.

Once in, your group is escorted into confined open/close sections to ensure there’s no deviations! Very efficient of course.

Once at the top you open to view the amazing dome, with not only lots of opportunities for photos but also to learn lots from the info boards.

Incredible design by Sir Norman Foster with incredible views of the city.

Highly recommended.

Super nice building and very good information available! Use the audio guide to receive interesting information during the walk on the gateway. Booking tickets online in advance gives you direct access and you do not need to wait in the cue. The full view around and over Berlin gives you the chance to take a lot of pictures.

Absolutely a must visit place if you are in Berling for more than a day. Its the German Parliament, and entry requires reservation in advance (free of charge though) through government website or through the counter located near the place. The glass dome tour will give you complete history about this historic structure and you might mersmerise how its been there tested over time and time across weather, wars, political instabilities etc. You should enjoy the view from top and if on a sunny day then you would love every bit of it. Attaching pics and videos for better refence point.
