Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingFor a quieter visit, choose a weekday morning outside peak periods; early weekday slots are generally less crowded than weekends. Public entry is scheduled every 15 minutes, with last admission at 21:45. The dome may close for cleaning, maintenance, parliamentary business, special events, weather or security reasons, while the roof terrace may remain open; check the official status for your date before travelling.
EntranceFor a rooftop restaurant reservation, use the entrance below and to the right of the West Portal (West C). West C is also an access route for wheelchair users, elderly or frail visitors, and parents with prams. For a public dome visit, follow the entrance details in your official booking confirmation. All visitors should allow time for identity and security checks; large luggage is not permitted and no on-site storage is available.
PriceNo official Reichstag benchmark price is available for comparison here. The partner-listed options are different products—breakfast, aperitivo, and dinner—so compare the exact inclusions rather than assuming the highest price is simply a markup; check the final checkout total and cancellation terms before paying.
DiscountsAdmission to Reichstag’s dome and roof terrace is free, but advance registration is required for every visitor, including children; there is no separate paid child-ticket category. The booking request must include each visitor’s surname, first name and date of birth, and entry is only confirmed once the Visitors’ Service sends a booking confirmation. If you register in person, visitors aged 16 or over must show an original valid official photo ID; visitors aged 14 or 15 should bring an ID document with their name and photograph. Copies are not accepted, and registered visitors may be asked to prove their identity at the entrance.

Planning your visit

Reichstagsgebäude, also called the German Parliament Building and Bundestag building, combines Paul Wallot’s historic architecture with Norman Foster’s modern redesign. The Reichstag fire 1933 destroyed the original Plenary Chamber, while the present Reichstag glass dome now provides views over Berlin and the parliamentary district. The Wrapped Reichstag project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude briefly covered the building before its restoration.

The dome and roof terrace ticket is free, but advance online registration is required for public visits. A guided tour of parliament follows a separate booking route, while the audioguide for adults and children explains the building, parliamentary work and nearby sights in about 20 minutes. For in-person registration, valid photo ID required means visitors aged 16 and over must show an original passport or identity card; copies are not accepted.

Reichstag stands on Platz der Republik, beside Tiergarten and close to Brandenburg Gate. Berlin Hauptbahnhof walking distance is about 15 minutes through the government district, while U-Bahn Bundestag provides a direct nearby stop and S-Bahn Brandenburger Tor is useful for combining the visit with central Berlin. The service centre’s opening hours vary by season, with longer hours in summer and shorter hours in winter.

Wheelchair accessibility and ramps are available, including accessible entry through West C. Security includes identity checks, metal detectors and X-ray screening, and large luggage cannot be stored on site. The Käfer rooftop restaurant requires a table reservation; its rooftop setting adds a dining stop after the dome visit.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • Security screening still applies at Reichstag: bags and coats go through X-ray checks, and visitors pass metal detectors, so a hosted or skip-the-line booking does not guarantee immediate entry.
  • Large luggage is not permitted inside Reichstag, and there is no on-site storage; leave suitcases and bulky bags elsewhere before travelling to the entrance.
  • Restaurant bookings use the entrance below and to the right of West Portal (West C), while other Reichstag visits may use a different visitor route, so follow the access details attached to your reservation.
  • Advance registration is required for the free dome and roof terrace visit, and visitors must provide complete participant details; a dining reservation should not be treated as a substitute for a separately confirmed visit unless the product explicitly says so.
  • The official dome visit requires identity details and may require valid photo ID, particularly for in-person registration, so carry the original document rather than a copy.
  • The Reichstag dome and roof terrace can close or change access arrangements at short notice because of parliamentary business, special events, weather or security conditions; confirm that your booked experience still includes the advertised access.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Are mobile tickets and time slots used for Reichstag?

The free public visit to the Reichstag dome requires advance registration for a specific entry time, and the booking confirmation is personal to the registered visitor. Partner dining products have their own reservation or confirmation requirements, so do not assume a restaurant booking replaces dome registration.

Can I cancel my Reichstag booking or get a refund?

Cancellation and refund terms depend on the selected partner product and are not stated in the available ticket details. Check the final checkout conditions before paying, especially for the limited-availability rooftop dining options.

Should I book through the official Reichstag service or a partner?

Use the official Reichstag registration for the free dome and roof-terrace visit. Choose a partner only when you specifically want a hosted Käfer rooftop experience, such as breakfast, an appero or dinner, and confirm whether the booking includes any Reichstag access.

What bags and security checks should I expect at Reichstag?

Visitors pass through metal-detector screening, while bags, coats and other items are examined by X-ray. Large luggage is not allowed and there is no storage facility on site, so a small bag is the safest choice; timed entry or a partner reservation does not bypass security.

What happens if I arrive late for my Reichstag time slot?

Late-entry terms are not stated for the available products, and entry should not be assumed after the reserved time. Allow extra time for identity checks and security screening, then contact the relevant visitor service or seller immediately if you are delayed.

Do children or free visitors need a reservation for Reichstag?

The public dome and roof-terrace visit is free, but advance registration is still required for every visitor. The registration requires each visitor's name, first name and date of birth; visitors aged 16 or over must show valid official photo identification when registering in person.

What is the main bottleneck when visiting Reichstag?

Security and identity checks are the main entry bottleneck: visitors are checked at the entrance, and bags undergo X-ray screening. Official same-day registration is possible only when places remain and must be issued at least two hours before the visit.
