Advantages: great views over berlin free entry interesting

Disadvantages: none

Visited here with my husband , there were small queues but nothing too bad. It is totally free to go in but you do have to pass through various security measures. Lots of glass doors and secure areas to pass through. The security is impressive but would need to be i expect being the seat of German Bundestag (parliament to you and i) . I was frisked very enthusiastically by a nice german lady!

It has seen some changes due to fire and the original dome was blown up in 1945 and never being rebuilt until the recent addition of the glass dome which is really impressive. The walk up into it is fun and the views outstanding.

You can look all over Berlin and also relax in the rooftop terrace which is lovely eben in the winter months (we were there in February) Looking over the snowladened Berlin from there was really gorgeous.

You can look over Parliament when in session which was fun to watch from the gallery above and can even join in role playing games or attend talks and classes.

It is open every day from 8am to midnight, but last admission is around 10 and the Dome isnt always open to access so it's always worth checking.

This is a must see for Berlin and we would actually go back and do this next time we visit.
