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.

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:)

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?

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.

  • 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.

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

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.

The unlimited use of public transport for 72 hours was brilliant. And there were good discounts on entry to the museums and attractions that we visited. Highly recommended.

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:)

Jonathan gave an informative and entertaining walking tour of WW 2 and the Third Reich. A highlight of our trip to Berlin. I highly recommend this activity.

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.

Unser Führer Olaf verdient großes Lob! Führung war interessant und kurzweilig. Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass er auch die Kinder mit einbezogen hat.
