The trip needs to be booked online well in advance. The trip is free and definitely worth. The guides are extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend this to everyone. You can book on the website. The total tour takes 90 minutes, while the visit to the dome will take another 15 minutes at least. More

Beware. In order to visit the Bundestag it is necessary to pre-book on line in advance. For security reasons it is no longer possible to turn up and buy a ticket. As of the date of our trip this was not mentioned in any of the tourist literature. We were therefore unable to visit a building we were particularly keen... More

Well worth a visit. The GPS activated audio-guide is really cool, the views from the top are great and symbolism of the dome itself hard to beat. Don't forget to request permission to visit online before you leave home. You can't get in without it! More

Well worth a visit, but you must have reservations. Do this by going to their internet site. It is not a must and if you miss out on it, not a terrible tragedy, however i found the building quite amazing and obviously the history surrounding it is very interesting. Bottom line, go for it and do not forget your passports... More

We visited the Bundestag in 2009 simply by walking up and going in and back then I think I wrote a review saying it's worth a trip since the architecture is nice and the visit is free. Just today we were back in Berlin with someone who hasn't travelled here before and while at the Brandenburg gate we stopped by... More

Impressive building with Sir Norman Fosters new Glass Dome. Free admission, but you need to register online prior to the visit. You should expect to receive your tickets only 1 or 2 days before the visit. You can choose between a guided tour ending with a visit in the Glass Dome or visit the Glass Dome only. Free audioguide gives... More

We were fortunate enough to have a second opportunity to visit Berlin as when we tried to go here on our first visit we were were turned away as we had not booked in advance. This time we booked a week before our trip but it was still not enough time as we were only able to visit the glass... More
