Really cool building and you get to learn a ton about German history there. The audio guides are really well done and start automatically when you step onto the ramp. As you walk around and around as you ascend, the audioguide then continues to say more about the various things that are available to view.

When you have free entry to this beautiful place then why not but free entry available to the Dome by online reservation, or in person with your passport or other documents. An audio guide is included so do remember to pick it up upon arrival to the Dome.
Enjoy the spectacular landscape views from the dome. Audio guide, which played automatically, gave 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.

The Reichstag is an architectural marvel! I love the glass dome which symbolizes the transparency in government! a must-visit, make sure you book ahead of time and prepare for some waiting.

Must visit place! I recommend to go here before visiting something else in Berlin, since the audioguide tells you about many different buildings of the city, along with interesting curiosities and things to do. Moreover, the view is stunning especially during sunset and it is completely free. I strongly recommend to book it quite in advance.

Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Unbedingt vorher einen Termin holen. Dann klapp es alles super, auch für Rollstuhlfahrer. Oben hat man einen tolle Aussicht. Ich hoffe sie werden es irgendwann hinbekommen den Vorplatz schöner zu gestalten. Die Container sind dem ganzen nicht angemessen und der matschiger Rasen ist jetzt auch nicht grade toll.

Tickets go live on the first day of the month, so you need to get in early in order to book in advance and secure a ticket!
It was great to visit the Reichstag building - tickets are free (but booking absolutely essential). You also need to have your passport in order to enter the building, and go through body & bag scanners.

We were taken up in the lift, and then left - so there was no guide, and no one to show us where to go. Worth picking up an audio guide at the top of the lift, they are free (although mine wasn’t working unfortunately, and I couldn’t be bothered to go and swap it).

Beautiful building and great to walk up the glass dome and read/see the photos about the history of the Reichstag building and it’s reconstruction after the war.

The Reichstag is the seat of the federal parliament of Germany. It is an handsome building with an interesting history. To learn about the building's history, you can get tickets to walk around the dome on the building's roof. An elevator takes you to the dome, and on the main floor of the dome is a "mini museum" with lots of captioned pictures that tell the story of the building's past. After getting educated about the building, you can walk up the circular ramp to the dome's top. From there you can take in great views of the city.

The entire dome experience takes about an hour. Visitors must buy tickets in advance and go through security before entering the building.
Wonderful building representing the strength and ideas of the German people. Not as majestic as it used to be, due to the war, but still very impressive. It is worth a visit, especially due to the fact that you can get inside the dome for free, you just need an early reservation.

Just did the dome walkabout.

Construction so had to walk around the entire building to get to the entrance.

Lined up to see security...lined up to wait to walk up the driveway and stairs...lined up to get into door 1...lined up to get through door 2...lined up to get on elevator...

Nice dome but not worth all the lining up.

A great tour that you can do for free offering and teaching tourists about the history of Berlin and Germany. This is a great activity for tourists and it’s also a great way to see the city from above. The tickets can be bought online for no charge and the experience involves seeing inside the building, as well as the roof terrace and the dome above. The dome above offers some great architecture and sights of the city, seeing some incredible views. The tour also offers information in all different languages so you can read and listen to more about the history of the building. Highly recommended if you’re in Berlin and it’s an experience you don’t want to miss out on.

The building was destroyed during WWII and rebuilt. The visit is free but has to be booked in advance, you will receive a letter and that letter has to be brought at the appointment. You can only visit at the given timeslot and a legal ID has to be presented. It is better to show up at least 15minutes in advance because you have to go through the security to get in. Once in, you can visit the roof terrace and glass dome and also the visitor sitting area of the parliament. About 2 hours is enough here.

Great place to visit near Berlin Gate. You have to book your ticket online beforehand to roam inside the building. You need to show either valid IDs or travel document to get entry for the tour inside. It’s worthy to take the tour. They can provide you earphone with audio device where many languages are available including English, German, French, Spanish etc.

It is a historic government building on Platz der Republik in Berlin that has been the seat of the German Bundestag since 1999. Since 1994, the Federal Convention has also met here to elect the Federal President.

Marvel at the architecture of the Glass dome on top of Berlin Parliamentary building, and enjoy a spectacular view of Berlin city from its viewing platform.

Its free to visit, and there is a security check before you are whisked by lift to the terrace and given a audio guide.

The audio guide points out Buildings of note around Berlin city as you walk up the ramp spiral to the viewing platform. Architecture details of the dome and parliamentary details are given as you walk down the ramp.
It’s totally free, but you must make a reservation either at the gate by providing your ID or online, I did it at the gate and reserved for next day.Place you must visit when you’re in Berlin. I think if you can visit it on the first day as a tourist it will help you to understand about German Cold War and things about the wall. And specially with the panoramic view you can see some historical monuments and museums that you must pay a visit during your stay. There is no luggage lockers you must carry them with you
OLAF DER SCHWEIGER +++

Wie Steffen Seibert (nun in Israel) erzählte, ist der Chef des Bundespresseamtes immerhin (!) Staatssekretär.

Es mutet schon mehr als grotesk an (das ist milde ausgedrückt), daß Herr Hebestreit sich im Hinblick auf die (gewesenen) Äußerungen von Mahmud Abbas dafür entschuldigt hat, daß er die Pressekonferenz zu früh abgebrochen habe.
Der Bundeskanzler, der ja auch der Chef von Hebestreit ist, hätte sich ja gleichwohl (notwendig !) vor Ort erklären können, klar und direkt. Da hätte ihn auch niemand unterbrochen, schon gar nicht Herr Hebestreit.

Das Finanzministerium, wo Scholz vorer war, ist das "alte Reichsluft-Ministerium", ein Göring-Bau. Olaf Scholz ist der Übergang weniger als gut gelungen, und die alten Getreuen (wie "Hebestreit") sind da auch nicht wirklich hilfreich.

Es sieht nicht gut aus, und die Zeit (leider) läuft weiter gegen die SPD. Da ist ja vielleicht honorig, daß Herr Hebestreit (welch Name !) für seinen alten und neuen Chef einsteht. Aber : Die Zeit in der "Republik" (die gibt es auch noch) tickt anders.

17% sind schon ziemlich miserabel !

Wenn man bedenkt das 10 Milliardäre ihr Vermögen verdoppeln konnten , aber 160 Millionen in die Armut gerutscht sind. Wer will sich noch an der Pandemie bereichern
Einfach nur mies, warum sagen sie nicht die Wahrheit über den Klimawandel? Sie wollen nur die Regierung unterstützen um noch mehr Geld zu erschleichen.
Die Gesellschaft verkommt immer mehr, sie müssen doch merken das mit diesen Lügen weder die Welt noch das
Klima zu retten ist!!!
Die Rezension ist schon zulässig aber Sie wollen die Wahrheit nicht ertragen.
Die Informationslage ist für eine so große Behörde doch recht dürftig - immerhin leben wir im 21. Jahrhundert. Eine Menge Papier, durch das sich der geneigte Bürger da wühlen soll. Etwas Media ist dabei, aber da geht sicher noch so einiges mehr. Eher enttäuschend. Diese Stelle soll mich doch informieren. Warum fühle ich mich dann trotzdem noch so uninformiert?
Will mir mal etwas Luft machen, ehe ich ersticke
Es ist eine Tatsache, das wir einen überregulierten Staat haben, und die Gesetzgebung weit aus dehnbar ist. Es geht doch nicht an, das für die gleiche Straftat unterschiedlche Strafen verhängt werden.
Deshalb stehe ich mit der Meinung sicherlich nicht alleine da. Kein Richter der Welt kann Recht sprechen. Er kann das wort lediglich schreiben und aussprechen,aber er kann Urteilen Beurteien und Verurteilen nach den Ihm vorliegenden Gesetzestexten. Nur fallen die Urteile nicht immer gerecht aus.Deshalb ja auch der Spuch Jedem Menschen Recht getan ist eine Kunst die Niemand kann.

Weiterhin geht es nicht an, wenn ich nachweißbar für einen guten Zweck eine Sammlung durchführe, dann von mir eine Gebühr von 10 Euro verlangt wird, das ich überhaupt die Sammlung in Verbindung mit einer Drehorgel und nachweißbarer verblommten Spendendose machen möchte.
Das spottet doch jeder Beschreibung.

Endeffekt, die Motivaton geht doch flöten.
Bin gerne bereit darüber persönlich zu sprechen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

A huge amount of information about the German Government, its Ministries, political aims and policies, history, legal and all aspects of life in Germany today. Publications available in German, English and selected languages where appropriate. Most are free and worth perusing! Can highly recommend a visit!
