A place with a view

Let’s say you plan on going to Berlin for the weekend. Today I’ll tell you what you can do in order to enjoy the view from above for free, close to the main attraction points and have a really good time. Let’s call it visit to Bundestag.

Nearby Brandenburg Gate is the parliament of Germany, called Bundestag. It is a really nice building, in a neo-renaissance style, surrounded by large parks with old trees and many spaces for relaxing. The address is Platz der Republik 1.  

Above the main building it was created a dome of glass which can be visited by tourists for free, but only if a reservation is made in advance. To be safe, I recommend trying to book the place with two weeks in advance because there are a lot of tourists who are visiting this place.

Once you get in front of the main building you will see some white buildings with some fences in front of it. There you have to go in order to show your booking, your id’s and get checked by someone from security in order to not enter with something that can threat the safety of the others.

After you passed those parts, someone will guide you to the entrance and then you will have to take the elevator.  Upstairs you will be asked what languages do you speak and you will receive an audio guide who will tell you what you can see from the panoramic view and some historic facts.

According to the tour that you chose you can have a walk also inside the parliament where you can find out more about the activities they have and some quick lesson. Still, for tourists the visit of the dome with audio guide is the best option. Once you get up you can enjoy the view sitting and breathing the fresh air.

Enjoy your trip!
