1

You’ll need to register in advance to take part in a guided tour, and registration is only possible through the German Bundestag. If you want to visit the building spontaneously, it is possible to register up to 2 hours before admission at the visitor services booth near the Berlin-Pavillon. Make sure you have a form of official ID with you for registration! As visiting the Reichstag is a popular tourist activity, be there early in the day or prepare for up to 1-2 hours of waiting.
