Description

Take a German-language tour of Berlin's historic parliament district with an expert guide, on a time-traveling tour of the city's dramatic political history, and explore the engine room of German democracy from the inside.

Beginning in front of the sci-fi architecture of Futurium, you'll follow your guide around Berlin's government district and learn about the historical events that have taken place here, which shaped the course of European history.

You'll be lead along the Spree, taking in the political buildings and historic sites which line the river. Pay respects at the memorial for the dead of the Berlin Wall, and see where the wall once divided East and West Germany.

It's important to note that this tour is available in German only, so a good working understanding of the language is a must.

At the conclusion of this guided tour, you have the option to delve even further into Germany's corridors of power, with an additional tour of the Reichstag. However, it is important to note that the tour of the Reichstag is not included as standard with this ticket, and requires additional registration with the visitor service of the Bundestag, providing the first names, second names and dates of birth of all visitors intending to visit the Reichstag. These details will be verified with an ID check on site before entry is granted.

You can register for this Reichstag tour by following the link provided with this booking. For security reasons, it is necessary to register for the Reichstag tour well in advance. Short-notice bookings (5-10 days in advance of the visit) will not include the tour of the Reichstag, as registration must be submitted before that.

Once registered, you'll head inside the Reichstag building at the conclusion of the first tour, for a close encounter with the machinery of German governance. You can sit in the bleachers of the Bundestag, and learn about the parliamentary processes that keep German democracy ticking over. From there, you'll make your way to the impressive glass dome of the Reichstag for some spectacular views over Berlin.
