About
The Reichstag Building stands on Platz der Republik in Berlin, Germany, and serves as the seat of the German federal parliament, known in German as the Bundestag. It is one of the city's most recognisable monuments and is widely regarded as a symbol of German democracy.
What to expect
The building combines its historic structure with a modern glass dome, which is the feature most visitors come to see. The dome offers panoramic views over Berlin, making it a rewarding stop for anyone who wants to take in the city from above. The contrast between the older stone building and the contemporary glass is striking, and it gives the visit a distinct character.
Why visit
- See a historic parliament building that still houses the German federal parliament.
- Enjoy panoramic views of Berlin from the glass dome.
- Understand the building's role as a symbol of German democracy.
Around the building
The Reichstag sits in the heart of Berlin, so it pairs naturally with other sights in the city centre. Platz der Republik, the square in front of the building, makes a pleasant place to pause and look up at the architecture before or after your visit.
