Tour description

The special tour through the high house of the Federal Republic. On our one-hour guided tour to the dome of the Reichstag, you can expect exciting insider information, historical facts, a spectacular view and the finest entertainment. Our qualified guides are looking forward to taking a look behind the facades of parliament with you and dancing on the roof of the members of parliament – figuratively speaking, of course…

Experience the seat of the German Bundestag from a spectacular perspective

On the glass dome of the Reichstag, we dance around on the roof for an hour and enjoy a fantastic 360-degree panorama of the city. You will listen to exciting stories from our trained guides.

Since the Reichstag building became the seat of the Bundestag again in 1999, over a million people have flocked to the visitor platform every year. With so much hustle and bustle, it’s easy to lose track of things. This one-hour tour lets you experience the building and its history up close.After a short introduction at the meeting point, the Berlin Pavilion, we pass through the security barrier and enter Germany’s time-honored seat of parliament. Now modern and futuristic, these walls bear witness to times gone by: emperors, world wars, revolutions, occupations, division, decay and vacancy.

Your tour guide will take you up to the world-famous glass dome.

You can let your gaze wander and learn exciting background stories about the surrounding buildings, such as:

the Brandenburg Tour
the Platz der Republik
the Tiergarten
the Charité
the Chancellery

In addition to the hard facts and figures, the entertainment factor is not neglected either! We value a relaxed and informal atmosphere and so the tour guides liven up the tour time and again with little quiz questions – we go together to marvel, discover and laugh.

You will also learn many explosive details:

Who didn’t think much of this alleged “chatterbox”
Why you can discover Russian inscriptions in the walls
Where the Chancellor lives
How the Reichstag building unceremoniously became a maternity ward
Which politicians enjoy the highest level of security during state visits
The absurd relationship between MPs and lobbyists in the Bundestag
Who tops the eternal table of calls to order during heated debates in the plenary chamber

A special treat awaits you at the end of the tour: We have designed this Reichstag tour so that you have the opportunity to take part in the 40-minute lecture of the House in the plenary chamber immediately afterwards. Suddenly the world is turned upside down: you look up into the glass dome. And? Do you feel like you’re being watched?

During the lecture, you can deepen your knowledge further – or the input is enough for you for the moment and you can plunge into your next adventure in the colorful streets of Berlin.
