Reichstag

The Reichstag the glass-domed building that houses the Bundestag — the lower house of Germany's parliament. Redesigned and expanded by British architect Sir Norman Foster in the 90s, the Parliament building retains its extensive, historical dimensions, yet looks ultra-modern and airy. From the accessible glass cupola you get a fabulous view of the city and German politics. Although visiting the cupola and roof terrace is free, it is essential to book in advance — the Reichstag is immensely popular. To learn more about German political system and the daily life of the Parliament, you can book a 90-minute guided tour. Guided tours of the Reichstag Building are held in weeks when Parliament is not sitting.
