Topped with an acclaimed glass dome designed by British architect Norman Foster, the Reichstag parliamentary building is home to Germany’s Parliament, the Bundestag.
The classically pedimented and columned building was built in the 1890s, and seriously damaged by fire in 1933 and subsequent air raids. In the 1990s the building was restored to host the parliament of the newly reunified Germany.
Visitors can step inside the multi-tiered glass dome and onto the roof terrace for 360 degree views of Berlin’s government district and the Tiergarten.
Take an audioguide tour to learn about the parliamentary goings on in the Bundestag and the history of the famous building. After taking a stroll, relax in the rooftop restaurant.

This tour captures all the main sights in just a couple of hours! Though there is a specialized Third Reich tour, this tour is a perfect introductory tour for both the main sights and the Third Reich. It is ideal to go on this tour at the beginning of your trip, that way you have time to revisit some sights, and so end more time there, eg go inside the Reichstag. Our guide, was great! She knew so much about Berlin, had such passion for what she was doing and was always open for questions. We went in January, so cold! Double up on clothing all over if doing the tour then!!

The Reichstag is on the southern bank of the River Spree. The closest subway is Brandenburger Tor.
Note that waiting times to enter the dome can be very long in summer.
