One of the biggest and best sights in Berlin is the stunning Reichstag. It’s the home of the German Parliament, otherwise known as the Bundestag.

Best of all, it’s free to visit. Don’t miss it!
TIP: You can turn up and get a tour on the day during off-peak times, but generally you’ll probably have to book ahead a couple of days in advance. Make sure you get there 15 minutes early as well, as there’s a security check beforehand.
