The Reichstag dome is free to enter but the registration is fiddly, and the government quarter around it makes very little sense without someone to explain it. Below are the best Reichstag and government district tours: which get you into the dome or the plenary chamber, how far ahead you have to register, and what each one costs.

Rooftop dinner at Käfer in the Reichstag dome: 4 courses, aperitif, and Berlin’s evening lights, plus time to wander inside.
“Simply wonderful. The food selections offered from appetizer to dessert were DELICIOUS! Service was impeccable unlike many other restaurants/ beer gardens in Berlin. I scheduled dinner just before sunset... arrive early to enjoy the beautiful view atop the Reichstag because you are not able to enjoy the sunset sitting at you table in the Kafer. HOWEVER, you can enjoy the city lights and stay in the dome or roof top till midnight and view the city and lovely evening breeze.”

“Man sieht definitiv ganz tolle Ecken von Berlin und erfährt viel historisches, was ich als Berliner auch noch nicht wusste. Die „Rätsel“ sind jedoch eher ein Zählen, geistig nicht herausfordernd. Einen Stern Abzug gibts ebenso für ein falsches Bild (Australien statt Berlin) sowie einige Rechtschreibfehler.”
