Just seeing this building almost gave me goosebumps. Thinking of the monumental historical events take took place here. It is amazing the building survived at all, and it still carries plenty of evidence of war wounds, you dont have to look hard! I did the "standard" roof/dome tour, waiting time was about 60 mins. You can spend as long as... more

You can find heaps of photos online but for a quick fix head to my photostream where I have uploaded just a fraction of what I took there. I was totally blown away by this building. If you like architecture (I know nothing about it, I just like looking at it!) then you’re bound to be moved by this. It’s... more

You can pick up a leaflet which tells you what you see in the panorama and when ou have ascended to the top of the dome (up a... more

On entering this 'working building' subject to airport type security. Staff very polite and spoke to... more

The lines are often intimidating (it took us 45 min), but going to the top of the Reichtag is well worth it for beautiful views of Berlin. more

...after reading these reviews it seems that when I went (mid week early evening in Nov) was as good a time as any to visit the Reichstag. It took about 5 minutes to get in, but I can see how it would take alot, lot longer when its busy as there are a couple of different barriers/security measures to get... more

One thing that's not mentioned anywhere is that you do not have to fall in line to get inside the Reichstag if you have small children. We were just content to let our toddler run up and down the front steps when a guide noticed us and escorted us to the right side entrance that provides access to families with... more

We had to wait for nearly an hour before entering the Reichstag but it was well worth it. The views are fantastic - I liked it more by night - and the architecture is superb. Great experience. more
