A short history of the Reichstag
The Reichstag is an internationally recognisable symbol of democracy and the current home of the German parliament . Every year, thousands of guests visit the Reichstag - and with good reason: It is not often that you can enjoy such an amazing panorama while, just beneath your feet, the political decisions of tomorrow are being made. Both as an architectural wonder and a historical testimony, the Reichstag has an important role to play in Berlin.
The original building is designed by Paul Wallot and modelled after the Memorial Hall in Philadelphia. Decorative motifs, sculptures and mosaics are contributed by the artist Otto Lessing. The Reichstag is completed in 1894 although it doesn’t acquire its iconic dedication to “the German People” until 1916 when the words Dem Deutschen Volke are inscribed on its façade. At the time Kaiser Wilhelm II regards the building as “the pinnacle of bad taste”. The Reichstag serves as the home of the German parliament until 1933 when the building is badly damaged in a fire. This event marks the end of the Weimar Republic and provides a convenient pretext for Hitler to suppress dissent. Under Nazi dictatorship, the building falls into neglect and is severely damaged during the Second World War. In 1945 it becomes one of the primary targets for the Red Army due to its perceived propaganda value.
After the war, West Germany’s parliament is relocated to Bonn, and the building remains a virtual ruin until 1961 when a partial renovation is undertaken in the shadow of the newly erected Wall. Completed in 1964 this controversial restoration sees the building’s interior and exterior stripped of the majority of its statuary. However, the city makes efforts to retain the traces of its more recent history such as the bullet ridden façade and the graffiti left by the occupying Soviet soldiers. Throughout the cold war period and until the German reunification in 1989 the Reichstag is the site of a permanent exhibition, “Questions about German History” but otherwise sees only occasional ceremonial use. In 1990 the Reichstag is the site of the official reunification ceremony. After another year of intense debate, it is decided that it will once again be the home of the German national parliament . In 1995, just prior to the commencement of Norman Foster’s restoration of the building, artist Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude wrap the Reichstag in fabric. Foster’s careful restoration and redesign of the building is completed in 1999, and the new German government convenes at the Reichstag for the first time on April the 19th.
There is a certain irony in the fact that the building’s glass cupola is not featured in Foster’s original plans for the renovation of the Reichstag. The dome sits directly above the debating chamber. A mirrored cone at its centre directs light into the Reichstag, increasing the building’s energy efficiency and affording visitors a view of the parliamentary proceedings below. The dome itself can be visited by prior registration and is reached by two large steel ramps that curve up towards it in the form of a double helix.
Five fascinating facts about the Reichstag

- Cyrillic graffiti left by Soviet soldiers, after their siege of the Reichstag in 1945, has been carefully preserved and can be still seen by visitors today.
- A true example of eco-architecture, the Reichstag is highly self sufficient in its production of energy. The shape of the dome allows the building to make use of natural lighting and ventilation which makes the building a unique symbol of sustainability.
- The Reichstag is an important art venue. It has a considerable art collection and shows changing exhibitions as well as permanently installed artworks.
- The roof of the Reichstag is home to the Käfer Dachgarten Restaurant where guests with a prior reservation can enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. Free panoramic view included!
- Besides its eventful history, Berlin is known to be a casual and friendly city. See for yourself on the grass in front of the Reichstag. This is a perfect place for picnics and a popular spot for sunbathing and relaxing.
What to see nearby when you visit the Reichstag
There are a number of important Berlin landmarks situated in the immediate vicinity of the Reichstag. The main railway station, the Bundeskanzleramt and the Brandenburger Tor are all located a short walk away from the parliament building. You can also find a number of memorials nearby. These include the astounding Holocaust-Memorial by Peter Eisenman that consists of 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid in which you can suddenly feel very disoriented and small. Another nearby memorial consisting of a circular pool commemorates the Sinti and Roma victims of National Socialism, whilst a concrete cube containing a video memorialises the homosexuals persecuted under Nazism.
How to get to the Reichstag using public transport
The Reichstag is easily accessible by public transport as it is situated just a short distance from Berlin’s main rail station, the Hauptbahnhof . The number 100 bus, which provides an unrivalled sightseeing opportunity along its route between the Zoo Station in the West and Alexanderplatz in the East, also stops at the Reichstag, as does the M41. The nearest U-Bahn station to the Reichstag is the Bundestag. It is the middle station of only three stations on what is surely Berlin’s shortest U-Bahn line which runs between the Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor.
The dome and roof terrace are open from 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. in the winter months (1 November to 31 March) and from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. in the summer months (1 April to 31 October).
The dome and roof terrace are closed all day on 24 December and from 4 p.m. on 31 December (last admission at 2.30 p.m.). The dome can be visited from
15 to 19 April 2024 08 to 19 July 2024 22 to 26 July 2024 21 to 25 October 2024 and from 28 October to 1 November 2024
cannot be visited due to cleaning and maintenance work. The roof terrace will remain accessible during these dome closures.

History and Facts about the Reichstag Building
The Reichstag Building opened in 1894 and was the seat of the German government until 1933 when a fire greatly damaged the building. Rather than repair the building, it was neglected, and this is seen as the end of the Weimar Republic and the strengthening of the Nazi dictatorship. The building suffered further damage during World War II .
During the Cold War , when Berlin was divided into East and West, the Reichstag Building sat in the West just steps from the Berlin Wall . The seat of the German government was moved to Bonn, and though the building was somewhat repaired, it was seldom used.
After reunification, the building was redesigned and restored. It opened in 1999, and the German Parliament returned here once again.
How to make a reservation for the free Reichstag Building tour
The process of making a reservation for the free Reichstag tour is pretty simple but does involve several steps and several emails. And since it’s one of the most popular free things to do in Berlin , it can often be booked up weeks ahead of time. Let’s take a look at how to do it.
Select the tour option you want
You can sometimes book a 90 minute tour with a guide that also includes visiting the dome with an audio guide. However, this option is only available on certain days, and only when parliament is not in session, so it’s not an option all that often.
The easier and more popular option is the 20 minute dome visit with an audio guide.
Got to the Reichstag website here to register . Read through for dates they’re closed and any other important info before clicking the online registration link.
Before you even get to the point where you select your date, you have to agree to various terms and conditions and put in a captcha. Then you will have to choose a date and time, and it will allow you to give up to three different choices for time slots.
At this point, you fill in your name and email address, and then submit.
They will email you a confirmation email, so if you don’t see it within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
Note: You’re not finished yet! Getting that email is not the end.
In the confirmation email is a link. Click this link to fill in your visitor information. You have 24 hours to do this from the moment you receive the email, so do it immediately.
At this point they ask for your birthday, so be sure you’re putting it in European format. That is day.month.year, so if your birthday is May 3, 1979, you will need to enter 03.05.1979.
Then you’ll get another automated confirmation email with a PDF. This is still only confirming that they have received your request, it’s not confirmation of your appointment for the tour. But there’s nothing else for you to do at this point.
I got my actual confirmation shortly afterwards. But make sure you look at the details closely. I’ve taken this tour a few times, and the most recent time, the booking process went a little wonky.
I selected a date that was available on their calendar, and when I finally received my booking confirmation, it said the dome was closed for cleaning that entire week. Since I selected the dome only option, I don’t really understand why it even let me try to book a day during that time frame. But this is a government that still relies heavily on fax machines, so anything goes.
I still went, and the rooftop terrace was open, so I was still able to walk around outside of the glass dome and get pictures. The audio guide is not available when the dome is closed, so I’m not sure it’s worth doing in this case.
I think it was just bad timing on my part. On the initial info page for registering, the week I booked was not listed as closed. But a few days later, it was listed. I didn’t see any way of rescheduling, so I could’ve just started over and booked another date.
How to do the free Reichstag tour without advanced booking
Maybe you didn’t hear about the Reichstag free tour in time to get a booking, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. There is still a possibility of getting a last minute reservation once you arrive in Berlin. And there are tours that could work for you.
Tours to get into the Reichstag Building
I found several tours you can book that take you into the Reichstag Building. They do the full tour, when possible, and they’re pretty cheap. This tour looks like it has the best chance of offering you information in English, although it still sounds like there’s a presentation portion in German. But you will always get the audio guide of the glass dome in English, or one of several other languages if you prefer.
Last minute booking
Across the street from the security entrance, there is a little hut for same day tickets. Go over here as early as possible because you have to register at least two hours ahead of time.
There’s a sign in the window showing how many time slots are available for that day and the next few days. So in theory, you might be able to grab a time slot a day or two ahead of time.
You will need to bring your passport to this registration spot in order to get your name on the list. This goes for everyone in your group.
The location isn’t really labeled on Google maps, but look for this restaurant and gift shop building . It’s immediately next door.
How to get to the Reichstag Building
The address for the Reichstag building is: Platz der Republik 1, 11011 Berlin.
For the free tour, you will need to go to the security control entrance, located on the southern side of the building. The address for this is Scheidemannstraße 5, 10557 Berlin .
The closest Ubahn station is Bundestag on the U5, but it’s also very close to the S&U Brandenburger Tor station. Or if you’re coming by bus 100, get out at the Reichstag/Bundestag bus stop.

FAQs and important info for the day of your Reichstag tour
Here are some frequently asked questions and things you should know before your visit to the Berlin Reichstag Building.
What to wear on your visit
Since you’ll be walking during the audio guide tour of the Reichstag Building, and it’s likely only one stop on a big day of sightseeing, you’ll be on your feet a lot. Wear comfortable shoes, and dress for the weather at the time of year you’re visiting Berlin . Don’t forget, the terrace is outdoors.
>>Read: What to Wear & What to Pack for Berlin, Germany: Your Ultimate Berlin Packing List
What do you need to bring to the tour?
When you arrive for your free Reichstag tour, make sure everyone in your group has government issued ID. For most people, this means you should being your passport.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time because they will need to check your ID and check you off their list. You have to go through security, kind of like at the airport.
Can you bring bags on the Reichstag tour?
Small bags, like a purse or small backpack, are allowed. I even saw people with big shopping bags. But large luggage is not allowed. If you have large bags or luggage with you, it’s about a 15 minute walk to Berlin Hbf where you can find luggage lockers.
Are dogs allowed on the tour?
No, dogs are not allowed, except for official service dogs.
Is the Reichstag Building accessible?
Yes, if you are a wheelchair user, you can still take the free audio guide tour of the Reichstag Building.
When is the best time to visit the Reichstag Building?
Any time is a good time to do the free audio guide in the dome. But there are some nice views of Berlin from the terrace, so if you are able to plan your visit a little before sunset, you’ll get some pretty pictures.
Things to do near the Reichstag Building in Berlin
With so many other things to do near the Reichstag Building, you’re spoiled for options. And besides the things I’ve listed below, you’ll have easy access to public transport, so you can get to another part of the city for sightseeing.
Tiergarten is a huge inner-city park, one of the largest in Berlin. Originally a hunting ground dating back to 1527, this vast green space has become one of the most loved public parks in Berlin over the years.
Throughout the park there are statues, memorials, ponds, tree-lined thoroughfares, and lawns. When the weather’s warm in Berlin, it’s here that people flock for strolling, picnicking, and generally hanging out, making it a great spot to people-watch.
Tiergarten is located just south of the Reichstag Building. Check out my full guide to visiting Tiergarten Park in Berlin .
Brandenburg Gate
Brandenburg Gate , or Brandenburger Tor in German, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Germany , and it’s just a few minutes walking from the Reichstag Building. It was one of the old city gates marking the edge of Berlin, though today it’s very much in the center of the city.
When the Berlin Wall stood, Brandenburg Gate was on the East but only barely. The Wall was built around it, making it inaccessible by residents of either side.
This is a great place for pictures, and one of Berlin’s most famous landmarks .
Victory Column
Berlin’s Victory Column , or Siegessäule in German, is one of the more recognizable monuments in the city. It sits at a roundabout in the middle of Tiergarten Park, and it was initially built as a monument to Prussia’s victory in the Franco-German war.
The column stands at 67 meters (about 220 feet) high and has an observation deck you can reach by paying a small entrance fee. After climbing the 285 stairs, the tower provides excellent views of the surrounding park and the city of Berlin.
This is one of the many wonderful inexpensive things you can do in Berlin , and it’s one of my favorite spots for views, if you can handle all those stairs.
Holocaust Memorial
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe , often referred to as the Holocaust Memorial, honors the large number of Jewish people who died at the hands of the Nazis. It’s one of the most important World War II sites in Berlin , and it’s not far from the Reichstag Building.
The memorial consists of 2,711 concrete blocks of varying heights, and the ground they sit on is an uneven slope similar to a wave. The information center showcases letters, diaries, photographs, and biographies of the victims to help personalize the experience.
Entrance is free. Photography is allowed (no flash inside) but please be respectful.
Do not sit on or climb on the cement slabs or take selfies. This is a place to reflect and remember those who were murdered.

The Reichstag Dome is part of the Reichstag building, an important historic building in Berlin, that was first constructed in 1894, housing the country’s parliament. After suffering serious damage from bombing in the Second World War, the German parliament decided to have the Reichstag rebuilt, with further restorations over the years. In the 1990s, the prize-winning architect, Sir Norman Foster, was commissioned to transform the building with the construction of the Reichstag Dome, a bold and striking contemporary glass addition to the classical 19 th century building.
The Reichstag Dome is designed to demonstrate the union of the modern world and Germany’s history, and pays tribute to a unified German parliament, after the fall of East Germany and the end of the Cold War. Made of steel and glass, the Dome is an impressive, high tech creation that allows incredible 360-degree views over Berlin from its roof terraces, with a spiral ramp winding up to the highest levels. Open from morning to midnight, you can take in breath-taking views during the day time, as well as the striking sight of the city lit up after dark.
As well as providing great views, the Reichstag Dome also has a unique feature, with an inverted cone of mirrors at its centre, which reflects light from above, into the chambers of parliament below. Visitors can both look out across the city, as well as take a look down into the building beneath the dome. With the debating chamber for the German parliament placed right below the dome, visitors can view the country’s parliament in action.
With a rooftop restaurant located next to the Reichstag Dome, visitors can take in the impressive views from above and enjoy a drink, snack or meal.
The Reichstag Dome is open to visitors between 8 am to midnight, and admissions are allowed every 15 minutes. The last admission of the day is at 9:45 pm.
The Reichstag Dome is closed to visitors on 24 December all day, and from 4 pm onwards on 31 December. Throughout the year, the dome is closed for some days to allow cleaning and maintenance work to be carried out. To find out when the dome may be closed for this, please check the official website. When the dome is closed, the roof terrace may still be open to visitors.
To visit the Reichstag Dome, you have to have an advance booking, either by booking on the day at the service centre, or ahead of your visit, by booking online. This means that the number of visitors inside is quite well managed and not too crowded. For great views over the city, it’s worth visiting during the day time, but for a more theatrical experience, a nighttime visit can be much more dramatic.
It is essential to register for tickets when visiting the Reichstag Dome in Berlin, either by booking in advance online before the day of your planned visit, or on-site at the visitors’ service centre. If you haven’t booked ahead and would like to visit on the day, you’ll need to go to the service centre to find out if free places for that day are available – these will be issued a minimum of two hours ahead of your visit. The service centre can also book tickets for up to two days ahead.
When registering to visit the dome at the service centre, you will need to provide official photo identification, such as a student card, driver’s license or passport – please make sure that you bring an original, as copies will not be accepted. Bookings cannot be transferred to other people, and you will be asked for proof of identity at the main entrance before going in.
