We only used the Berlin WelcomeCard for public transportation and it is well worth its price. Surely many of the sights are a short distance apart so you would spend a lot of time walking. With public transport this is just a bit faster. We mostly took the bus, but also the S-bahn or U-bahn. We used google maps to find the right connections and they are very accurate. We booked tickets for zone ABC because we also did the airport transport by public transport as well as a visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Just be sure to print out the codes on paper when you buy, because you have to show them at inspection (this only happened once).

We only used public transport several times. We did not take advantage of any discounts for other events. We didn't have any negative experiences so far, except that as non-Berliners we had a bit of trouble finding the right public transport connections. However, this also has to do with the many construction sites and corresponding cancellations of transport connections.

Unlimited public transportation is very practical. You can get around Berlin very easily and get where you want to be. We also got discounts everywhere we wanted to go in. Card was known everywhere.

The deliberate use of buses and suburban trains (for sightseeing above ground) was very good for our requirements and needs. Clean buses, problem-free suburban trains, punctuality and no unpleasant incidents made the trips a good experience.

The discount on various museums is ideal, also the "free" public transport travel makes it easy to see much of Berlin. However, the ordering did not go to plan; it was reported that after ordering your card , you would receive another email with your voucher in pdf file. However, we never received this one.

The all inclusive public transport is great. But you can get that on it's own. The Berlin welcome card part was useless. Website is horrible, it's impossible to easily figure out what's included, the paged interface makes it impossible to search, and the way it's indicated is very confusing. In the end we didn't get any price reduction in the places we visited

Walking through such an amazing city with a friendly and knowledgeable guide (Jimmy) is a great way to get to know parts of the city that are significant to 20th Century history. Walking pace creates opportunities for conversation and moments of reflection. It's the perfect way to get to know such an interesting city. Our guide, Jimmy, was excellent! You can tell he really loves Berlin and has immersed himself in the stories and history of this incredible city. Highly recommend the walking tour.

Reichstag Berlin | House of the German Parliament

The Reichstag building, located in the heart of Berlin, stands as a powerful symbol of the country's political past. The building has witnessed pivotal moments, from the proclamation of the Weimar Republic to its destruction during World War II. After German reunification in 1990, a glass dome was added to its structure, which was designed by architect Norman Foster. This transparent dome offers panoramic views of Berlin and symbolizes the unity of the German people. Today, the Reichstag is home to the German Bundestag, the federal parliament.

Why go on Reichstag tours?

Reichstag Berlin - This is a Photograph of Reichstag Berlin

Things to know before booking your Reichstag tickets

  • While you can visit the Reichstag for free with a prior reservation, we'd highly suggest going on a guided tour. It's worth it! You'll get to dive into the fascinating history and political significance of the Reichstag building. Plus, the tours are available in English and German, so language won't be a barrier.
  • Choose the type of Reichstag tour that best suits your interests. If you wish to explore the Reichstag, you can go on a Reichstag building guided tour. Alternatively, if you're drawn to exploring the historic Berlin district surrounding the Reichstag, the 'Around and Into Reichstag tour' ticket offers just that.
  • If you are planning on staying in Berlin for a couple of days, consider snagging the Berlin WelcomeCard for discounted access to 180+ attractions across the city and many other perks, like access to free public transportation and discounts on restaurants.
  • The Reichstag glass dome is easily accessible via a ramp and offers stunning 360-degree views of Berlin. Whether you can visit the Reichstag Building's roof terrace and dome depends on a few factors, including parliamentary activities, the weather, and security considerations. Because of these variables, it's not always guaranteed that you'll be able to access the dome. Occasionally, even if you have a confirmed reservation, last-minute cancellations might occur.
  • Consider reserving a dining experience at the rooftop restaurant if time allows, offering exquisite cuisine amidst stunning views of Berlin (prior reservation required).
  • The building is wheelchair accessible, with facilities like a disabled entrance and ramps for visitors with disabilities.
  • The Reichstag guided tour slots can fill up pretty quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons, so try to book your Berlin parliament tickets at least two weeks before your visit.
  • A valid and original ID or passport is mandatory to gain entry inside the Reichstag building. Be prepared for security checks upon entry to the Reichstag building.

Sights covered on Reichstag tours

Holocaust Memorial - Holocaust Memorial

Holocaust Memorial

The Holocaust Memorial, also called the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It displays the names of almost 3 million Jewish Holocaust victims in an adjoining underground "Place of Information," received from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.

Brandenburg Gate - This is a Photograph of Brandenburg Gate

Brandenburg Gate

Inspired by the Propylaea on the Acropolis of Athens, the Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlin's most well-known historical sites. King Frederick Wilhelm II had this massive Neoclassical gate built in 1788. It used to stand as a representation of a divided country but now represents peace and harmony.

Museum Island - This is a Photograph of Museum Island

Museum Island

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Spree Island or Museum Island, is located in a 400-meter-long canal nestled between the River Spree and the Kupfergraben. It houses many of the city's oldest sites, like the Altes Museum, which was constructed in 1830 to store the Crown Jewels and artifacts.

Berlin Palace - This is a Photograph of Berlin Palace

Berlin Palace

The Berlin Palace, formally the Royal Palace on Museum Island in Berlin's Mitte district, was the House of Hohenzollern's primary residence from 1443 until 1918. It is regarded as a significant illustration of Prussian Baroque architecture and is one of Berlin's largest structures with a dome that stands 60 meters tall.

Gendarmenmarkt - This is a Photograph of Gendarmenmarkt

Gendarmenmarkt

This lovely plaza from the 17th century is the site of various annual public events, like classical concerts in summer and Christmas markets in winter. Three historic landmark structures, the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral, and the German Cathedral, dominate the Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin's major squares.

Unter der Linden - This is a Photograph of Unter der Linden

Unter der Linden

The most well-known boulevard in Berlin, Unter den Linden, is another favored tourist destination in Reichstag.  It is named after the linden or lime trees that flank the grassed pedestrian mall on the median and the two wide carriageways.  The avenue connects many tourist attractions, landmarks, and waterways in Berlin, making it a perfect spot for visitors to hang out.

Memorial Church - This is a Photograph of Memorial Church

Memorial Church

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, one of Berlin's most intriguing sites, is actually a combination of two churches: the sleek new church built in 1961 and the ruins of the ancient church next to it, including the bulk of its 63-meter-high tower. The original was destroyed in 1943, but its remnants were integrated into the rebuilt complex to preserve the ancient history that they stand for.

Checkpoint Charlie Museum - This is a Photograph of Checkpoint Charlie Museum

Checkpoint Charlie Museum

The Checkpoint Charlie Museum lies on the Friedrichstraße, a famous shopping street in Berlin. This checkpoint once served as a crossing point between East and West Berlin. It houses a wide variety of exhibits and artifacts tracing the history of human rights, along with ones that focus specifically on the history of Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall.

It was stressful when the mail with the tickets did not come. After finally chatting, it was settled in no time. In Berlin, the card worked very well. Unlimited public transportation is very practical. You can get around Berlin very easily and get where you want to be. We also got discounts everywhere we wanted to go in. Card was known everywhere.

We really enjoyed our tour with Jasper. He was really knowledgeable, respectful of the topic but also gave us a great perspective from a local point of view and had a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn more about the third reich. Just the right amount of talking, walking and breaking:)

Die geführte Tour durch das Regierungsviertel war sehr interessant, v. a. weil unser Guide uns nicht bloß allgemein informiert hat sondern Zusätzliches, nicht allgemein Bekanntes, dazu beitragen konnte. Das machte die Tour sehr aufschlussreich. Mein 15jähriger Sohn war ebenfalls begeistert. Leider konnten wir nicht die normale Strecke laufen, weil jemand einen Kinderwagen in der Gruppe dabei hatte und Treppen vermieden werden mussten. Das hätte vorher klar sein müssen, wie ich finde, aber es ist nur eine Kleinigkeit. Ich würde diese Tour definitiv weiterempfehlen.
