    Free access to this beautiful dome for spectacular views of Berlin city. There’s a wait for 10 to 20 minutes from checkpoint to lift. An audio guide is included so do remember to pick it up upon arrival to the Dome after lift. Enjoy the wonderful landscape views from the dome. Audio guide, which played automatically, give you brief introduction to major buildings nearby. I enjoyed 360 view from the dome. It’s like amazing bird eye view of Berlin city. Better arrive early before your reserved timeslot because of queue for security check and entrance. Much worth to visit if you planing to visit Berlin.

    Super nice building and very good information available! Use the audio guide to receive interesting information during the walk on the gateway. Booking tickets online in advance gives you direct access and you do not need to wait in the cue. The full view around and over Berlin gives you the chance to take a lot of pictures.

    Great views and some history for free, if you are interested you can even do special tours through the building if you make a free reservation with the “Besucherdienst” online

    One of the must have seen places in Berlin with amazing architecture by Sir Norman Foster. 360 mirrors give amazing photo opportunities. Great idea to illuminate the German Parliament.

    Super great experience! Short waiting time at the entrance with security check, elevator to the top, audio guide for adults and children, great experience going up the dome and enjoying the view. Very good tour and instructions, not too much information, other visitors were spread out well, no bottlenecks or crowds, except perhaps standing together briefly in the elevator.

    You need to take your passport and book a time slot. Once inside you are given an audio commentary system which works brilliantly. The views are superb.

    Despite my fear of heights, I took on the adventure. You must register in advance stating the time. We chose the date just before sunset and had a great view. The visit is free.

    You can see whole view of the city after entering the building. Requires prior reservation, though the visit is free. Had to pass through strict security check of personal belongings before entering.

    We booked a tour and had a really good gentleman who didn't explain it so dryly. Didn't expect it to be so interesting. It is definitely worth it!

    Definitely worth a visit when in Berlin. Both architecturally and historically a significant and interesting visit. There are audio guides available in multiple major languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Russian), and there are special audio guides for children albeit only in German. When illuminated at night it looks incredible, and equally I can imagine the views of Berlin in the daytime would be spectacular. You must preregister online at least 1 week in advance, or you can go to the small portacabin across the street and book a slot for any remaining places in the next 2 or 3 days. You will need to provide ID both to reserve and to enter, and you will need to have your bag scanned on entry into the building.

    A visit is worthwhile and free of charge, but must be booked online some time before your visit to Berlin. We were there in the evening and the view is rather unfavorable, so definitely visit in the daylight.

    Absolutely a must visit place if you are in Berling for more than a day. Its the German Parliament, and entry requires reservation in advance (free of charge though) through government website or through the counter located near the place. The glass dome tour will give you complete history about this historic structure and you might mersmerise how its been there tested over time and time across weather, wars, political instabilities etc. You should enjoy the view from top and if on a sunny day then you would love every bit of it. Attaching pics and videos for better refence point.

    There is no way you visit Berlin and do not plan to visit the Parlament. Please be aware that you need to book your reservation at least 2 month in advance. The view is stunning and I fullybrecomend try to be there at sunset time.

    Uns hat die Reichstagskuppel so gut gefallen das wir bereits das zweite mal dort waren. Nicht nur für Berlin Besucher ein muß. Durch Corona ist es deutlich leerer als in normalen Zeiten. Auch daher sollte man rechtzeitig planen und ein Zeitfenster online buchen. Eine gelungene architektonische Meisterleistung wie ich finde. Auf dem Dach befindet sich ein Restaurant. Eine Reservierung ist empfehlenswert. Bei einen Besuch dort und natürlich auch für die Reichstagskuppel den Ausweis nicht vergessen! Gut mit den neu gebauten U Bahnhof Bundestag zu erreichen.

    (Translated by Google) Visited the dome. Definitely worth a visit. To do this, you have to go to a place on Scheidemannstrasse called "Registration for Dome Visit" at around 12:30 pm. At 1 p.m., 100 free tickets for the dome will be issued there. However, not all tickets are for immediate use. So if you're one of the last, you might as well get tickets for 9:00 p.m. So plan that. (Original) Haben die Kuppel besichtigt. War definitiv einen Besuch wert. Dafür müsst ihr zu einem Ort an der Scheidemannstraße namens "Anmeldung für Kuppelbesuch", und zwar um ungefähr 12:30 Uhr. Um 13:00 Uhr werden dort 100 gratis Tickets für die Kuppel ausgegeben. Allerdings sind nicht alle Tickets für sofort. Wenn ihr also einer der letzten seid, könntet ihr auch Tickets für 21:00 bekommen. Plant das also mit ein.

    Reservation beforehand is compulsory. The audio guide is worth getting, it’s timed based on how far you’ve walked around the loop and tells you various things you can see as well as the history of the building, and Berlin.

  • 5/5 Pavel R. 2 months ago on Google • 651 reviews New
    This building is worth a visit. Wunderschönes Gebäude. It is one of the symbols of European history. You must make an online reservation to visit the glass dome.

  • 5/5 Maciej W. 2 months ago on Google • 257 reviews New
    The dome offers a beautiful panorama of almost the entire Berlin. It is worth booking your entry time online (free entry). It is almost impossible to enter without a reservation. It's worth going on a cloudless day.

  • 5/5 Viola J. 2 months ago on Google • 171 reviews New
    Definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Rachel F. 7 months ago on Google • 146 reviews
    The Reichstag Dome is a must see for the architecture, views and history. It's also free but you must book in advance and take ID on the day. Definitely pick up the audio guide but remember to stop on the flat sections of the ramp or the guide may move on and you will miss bits.

  • 5/5 Steven P. 3 months ago on Google • 106 reviews New
    Definitely worth a visit but must be booked in advance. Take time to read the circular history boards of this place as it makes it a more interesting visit.

  • 5/5 Men ́s U. 4 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    Visiting the Reichstag dome is very impressive in any season. This time greetings from the heart of German parliamentarism with a beautiful view of the autumnal Tiergarten. A cafe and accessible paths make the visit even more convenient.

  • 5/5 Gerlinde S. 4 months ago on Google • 82 reviews
    Online registration required! Entry with security check, elevator to the top, audio guide for visitors! Great experience walking up the dome and enjoying the view.

  • 5/5 R G. 8 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Well worth a visit to this stunning building and incredible architectural dome design. We queued for tickets 24hrs before our visit at the ticket office.. tickets are free and you will need a formal ID document for each person in your group (we had our passports to hand so easily done). You can do this online too. Because you have a specific entrance time queuing is minimal. You’ll go through a full airport style security scanner before being allowed access. Once in, your group is escorted into confined open/close sections to ensure there’s no deviations! Very efficient of course. Once at the top you open to view the amazing dome, with not only lots of opportunities for photos but also to learn lots from the info boards. Incredible design by Sir Norman Foster with incredible views of the city. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Μαργαρίτα �. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Excellent view towards the city. Prefer to go during the day, as after dark visibility is not good. The visit is free but you need to reserve a place several days in advance. It is important to bring your ID or passport with you.

  • 5/5 Irina L. 1 month ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    The building is really powerful The dome is beautiful and unique. I was also happy about a great experience and free entry. The visit is well organized. You can register in the white card and visit the dome at the time when it is free and in the same day. There is security check and passport requirement. There is also Audiogid He tells you the history of the surrounding area, the history of the buildings around the Bundestag. Beautiful.

  • 5/5 Bianca W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is stunning! You can book a visit to the dome ahead of time to make sure you get in, it can get very busy. The dome on top of the parliament building serves many purposes, including providing the main plenary chamber with fresh air and daylight. Definitely get the free audio tour when you're there, it's full of amazing information about the dome, the building, and the sights of Berlin that can be seen from it.

  • 5/5 Kyle S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great view of the landmarks around Berlin from the top of the glass dome. The audio guide of the history of German democracy and the function of various parlimentary buildings surrounding the Bundestag adds a lot to the experience.

  • 2/5 Cornelia P. 2 years ago on Google
    In der 1. Herbstferienwoche leider geschlossen, wegen Reinigung und Wartung. Konnte man das nicht in corona machen? Wo eh alles zu war? Wirklich schade

  • 5/5 Şehnaz A. 1 year ago on Google
    You cannot find online reservation? You decide to visit the Coppola but you are not sure if it is available? No issue! You just have to be early to get an appointment from the Pavillion. Tip: check the daily sunset and make an 1 h earlier appointment.

  • 5/5 Sergio Gasquez A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great visit with free audio guide included. The views are astonishing. I would recommend booking the ticket in advance, via website, but you can also get tickets for the same day in a small office 3 mins away from Reichstag.

  • 5/5 Carlos González D. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning views of all Berlin city and parliament from here. I'd recommend you to ask for the audio guide as soon as you enter the rooftop. Different audio tracks will introduce you different parts of the city while you see them through the astonishing glass structure. I would not recommend going after sunset, take advantage of daylight to see everything clearly.

  • 5/5 Jo S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wirklich gelungen, Transparenz passt zu einer Demokratie, außerdem ist der Rundumblick phänomenal und der Einblick in den Bundestag interessant, eine strahlende Krone des Reichstagsgebäudes im Sonnenlicht, ein Besuch lohnt sich.

  • 5/5 Mattia C. 1 year ago on Google
    The dome is really really cool! You get to see an incredible 360° view of the city. And if you look down, you'll see the Members of Parliament working in the main room down below, during the sessions; how cool is that? And if you're not familiar with Berlin, do get an audioguide at the entrance: as you climb up the spiral staircase in the dome, the audioguide will automatically tell you about the highlights of the landscape around you.

  • 5/5 Lauren A. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a really cool section of the building to visit. You have to get tickets in advance. I recommend getting ones for the evening, as the sunset views are beautiful. The time you spend there isn't limited, which is nice. If you're wanting to see the lower parts of the building, that's a separate tour, but it's worth it too! Oh! There's a security line before you enter, so make sure you get there 20mins early!

    (Translated by Google) The iconic dome over the German Parliament, one of the most representative sites of modern Germany internationally, is the main part of the tourist visit to the Reichstag, during our visit we will be allowed a free audio guide to learn more about the architecture of the building and its purpose in German politics (Original) La icónica cúpula sobre el Parlamento Alemán, uno de los sitios más representativos de la Alemania moderna a nivel internacional, es la parte principal de la visita turística al Reichstag, durante nuestra visita se nos permitirá de manera gratuita una audioguía para aprender más sobre la arquitectura del edificio y su propósito en la política germana

    (Translated by Google) Very nice, great view of Berlin. The architecture is also impressive. Information available in sound and book. The organization was very good. Admission is free and you could ask for 2 € to get buildings, so to speak as a fee. 👍 (Original) Sehr schön toller Blick auf Berlin.Auch die Architektur ist beeindruckend Information erhältlich in Ton und Buch.Die Organisation war sehr gut.

  • 5/5 Alessia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Da non perdere! La visita è gratuita e per la visita alla cupola viene offerta un'audioguida in italiano che consente di seguire il percorso a spirale ammirando gli edifici circostanti, il Tiergarten e la Sprea, così da avere una visuale spettacolare su Berlino. Ricordate di prenotare la visita con anticipo.

  • 5/5 Gravity F. 10 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, I couldn’t get ticket for that day. It’s very recommended to reserve a ticket online in advance. You may try to get one from the visitor center, but you need to go early.

  • 5/5 Beth 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful structure and lots of education on the German government and its history. You can walk around the upper level to get a great overview of the city. Guided audio tours are also provided in different language options.

    A must in Berlin. The audioguide explain all the surroundings pretty well (in many languages) and the exposition about the Reichstag's history is quite interesting. I recommend to visit it during the day to enjoy the views.

  • 5/5 nandakumar m. 1 year ago on Google
    Reichstagskuppel The dome on top of the Parliament building in Berlin. To enter/see the Dome, you need to book online. Stunning panoramic view of Berlin around the Parliament building. Must see.

  • 5/5 Björn 1 year ago on Google
    Entrance fee is free but you have to book a tour the day before you wanna visit Der Reichtag. You need to show the staff your ID (passport or driving licence) Interesting history and you'll learn more of Berlin. I really recommend this place.

  • 5/5 T C. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooftop is amazing. You can see the whole city fron the top. You can book a visit for the rooftop and also for a parliament tour which are free. We just visited the rooftop. It was a bit windy and cold when we were there but it definitely worth it. Audioguide is free and you can have detailed info about the building. You must see this place when you visit Berlin. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Gary H. 11 months ago on Google
    A must visit in Berlin. Get your tour pass ahead of time because they usually do not have same day walk up available. From this tour, you get an excellent vantage point to see all of Berlin's major landmarks.

    It is a must-see place when you are in Berlin. The view from the dome is great, either by day or night. The reservation is required, but its free. Included audio guide was helpful during the tour. We spent there about an hour.
