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.

Doing what: Berlin Segway Tour

We did the Berlin Segway tour back in June, and it was the best! It was a lot of fun, very informative, and had fantastic value for money. Our guides were brilliant. Even the dreadful rain didn't spoil our fun - think Reichstag invasion on Segways in plastic ponchos and bash-hats with Ride of the Valkyrie playing in the background - priceless!

Doing what: Discover Berlin Half-Day Walking Tour

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!!

Doing what: Berlin's Infamous Third Reich Sites Half-Day Walking Tour

This tour is definitely for history buffs or just people that are interested in finding out things they didn't know about the Third Reich. Our guide did a fantastic job, it's a very short bus ride from the Zoo station to the Reichstag building, that's where the tour begins so make sure you have bought a transport ticket and validate it!!
