Reichstag Dome & Government Quarter: Official Guided Access

Ascend the iconic glass dome of the Reichstag — Germany's seat of parliament — for a breathtaking 360° panorama of Berlin, with an expert-guided rooftop experience. One of Europe's most architecturally stunning buildings, and a symbol of democracy reborn.

What to expect

After pre-registration, you'll pass through security and ride the lift to the spectacular Norman Foster–designed glass dome, where a mirrored cone floods the plenary chamber below with natural light. A free audio guide (available in multiple languages) leads you on a spiralling walk to the roof terrace, where Berlin unfolds in every direction — the Tiergarten, the TV Tower, the Brandenburg Gate. The experience is both architecturally thrilling and profoundly symbolic.
