Be prepared to wait along time unless you go either very early(opens at 10.00Am or very late, Last entry at 11.00PM.). The queues can get very long and their is normally a wait of about an hour at busy times. When I went the wait was about 30mins. The wait depends on the number of people already... more Be prepared to wait along time unless you go either very early(opens at 10.00Am or very late, Last entry at 11.00PM.).

Some day's there is no Entry Permitted due to the parliament being in session. Security is tight but the entrance is brilliant and a testament to the designer. Once inside your taken up to the famous glass dome by elevator and the scenery is amazing! To get to the top you must first walk up a flat gangway that spirals around the inside of the dome. There is also access to the roof where ,if you are prepared to battle the freezing winds, are some amazing photo-ops. The restaurant is normally full and pre-booking is needed. Can't tell you what it's like though as it was closed the night I went. The Reichstag is worth the visit and is a must see in Berlin.close

Crowned by a glass cupola making it easily distinctive among the rest of East Berlin's buildings, the Reichstag has been home to the Bundestag (German Parliament) since 1999. The good thing about it is that it's free to get to the top! The bad thing is that you have to queue and the line is... more Crowned by a glass cupola making it easily distinctive among the rest of East Berlin's buildings, the Reichstag has been home to the Bundestag (German Parliament) since 1999.

Beautifully designed massive building representing political power and democratic development... Read old war graffitti on the wall outside near the roof, cool that they have kept it.

This is where the German parliament sit. Visit first hour in the morning to avoid queues.
