I lived in Berlin for six months a few years ago, and although there are many sights and activities that I would deem ‘Must Visit’, my first trip to the Reichstag left a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

The first thing to note about visiting the Reichstag…is that it\u2019s free! Although this can lead to very long lines during peak visiting hours, trust me, it is worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Right as you walk in, you notice \u201cDEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE<\/a>,\u201d (To the German People) in big letters above the entrance.\u00a0 Inscribed in 1916, this promise to the German people is currently upheld by hosting the Bundestag –Germany’s parliament.<\/p>\n

Probably the most famous part of the Reichstag’s architecture is the enormous glass dome at the top of the building — check it out–it looks like a tornado<\/a>!<\/p>\n

From there, looking out, you can get a panoramic view of the Berlin cityscape<\/a>.\u00a0 Then, looking down, you can see the parliamentary set-up of the Bundestag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A visit to the Reichstag gives travelers to Berlin an appreciation of Germany’s past, as well as a strong glimpse into it’s contemporary culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
