During the day, the glass dome of the German Bundestag attracts visitors from all over the world, but it remains closed to tourists at night. Meanwhile, down in the city, the lights begin to twinkle. Imagine strolling across the roof terrace and into the quiet, imposing glass dome with this view before you. Below you, the panorama of a sparkling city unfolds, and there is not another soul in sight. Read on to find out how you can enjoy this magical viewing experience.
A view that redefines Berlin
From the viewing platform of the glass dome, which is around 40 metres above the ground, you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the German capital. The government district, with the Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz and the Victory Column in Tiergarten, lies directly below you. On the horizon, the Berlin TV Tower rises into the sky, flanked by the Red Town Hall and the Berlin Cathedral. Trace the course of the Spree River, discover Potsdamer Platz and its modern skyline, and gaze as far as the Olympic Stadium.
The view changes depending on the time of day: clear and expansive in the morning, golden at sunset, and a sparkling sea of lights at night. Every angle tells its own story, making a visit to the glass dome an unforgettable experience.
