The Reichstag’s glass dome sits atop Germany’s parliament building, offering a spiraling ramp walk with views over Berlin and a symbolic look down into the debating chamber below.

Free Registered Visit

Free registered visits require advance online registration with passport details, granting access to the dome and roof terrace at your assigned time slot.

Guided Tour with Dome Access

A guided tour adds a live guide who explains the building’s history, including its 1933 fire and post-reunification renovation, alongside the same dome access.

Is the Guided Tour Worth It?

The free visit covers the view well on its own; the guided option is worth it mainly for the building’s dramatic 20th-century political history, which the free audio guide only briefly touches.
