Berlin: The Glass Dome of the Bundestag

Berlin has got two most famous buildings, right next to each other. One is the Brandenburger Tor, the other is the Bundestag, the main building of the government. Visiting the glass dome on top of the building is free, but we need a ticket for a specific day and time. We choose the evening hours, when the sun is setting and the city lights come on.

There is a double helix spiral ramp leading into the top of the dome. We take headsets that provide lots of explanations on the history and architecture of the building as well as current political system in Germany. We also get a nice view over the city which is all flat.
