Pro tips to help you make a pick

You need to make a prior reservation before visiting the Reichstag in Berlin. Don’t forget to bring a valid ID or passport (only originals are accepted) for entry.

Consider taking a guided tour for a deeper dive into the rich history and political significance of this iconic German parliament building. These tours are insightful and entertaining and available in both English and German, so language won't be a barrier.

If you have booked a guided tour, plan to arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes early at the designated meeting point to avoid delays.

Don't forget to reserve a table in advance if you'd like to dine at the rooftop Käfer Dachgarten Restaurant.

You can find free informational materials about the German Bundestag at the entrance area at the West Portal and the cloakrooms on the visitors' level of the Reichstag Building. These resources will help you better understand the exhibits and the building's history.

Visiting at sunset is highly recommended. Watching the city transition from day to night from the Reichstag is a magical experience.

Did you know?

In 1933, the Reichstag was severely damaged by fire, an event that played a crucial role in Hitler's rise to power. The building lay dormant for decades until its restoration in the 1990s after German reunification.

During the restoration, graffiti left by Soviet soldiers in 1945 was preserved, offering a poignant reminder of the building's wartime history. You can still see it on your visit to the Reichstag.

If you look closely, you can still see bullet holes from the Battle of Berlin in 1945, a stark reminder of the building's tumultuous past.

The Reichstag glass dome is not only aesthetically pleasing but also eco-friendly. It uses natural light to illuminate the parliamentary chamber and features a cone-shaped structure that enhances ventilation.

The tour guide Simon was fantastic. Covered all the key areas with great enthusiasm, wit and humour. He provided great insight to the city, its' turbulent history and the underlying social and cultural aspects. The 4 hours flew by (even for my 14 yr old son!) and we would thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in WW2 and 3rd Reich history. Thank you Simon.

Our guide Emma was enthusiastic and presented her information about history in a fascinating way. This tour took us to a number of important sites related to World War II in Berlin. Without this tour, we would not have been able to find these places so quickly and easily on our own. Berlin is a big city. This tour has made me want to come back to Berlin again. I definitely recommend this tour.
