Reichstag, Berlin

Reichstag building is one of the must visit sights in Berlin. It is not only Berlin's famous sightseeing but also act as a historical and architectural monument.This building was constructed to house the Reichstag (Parliament of the German Empire). Completed in 1894, the building functioned as the Reichstag until 1933 before it suffered heavy damage in a fire during world war II. The building underwent reconstruction led by internationally renowned architect Norman Foster.Today, the building functions as a modern Bundestag (Institution of German Parliament).

The best part of this building is the Reichstag Dome.It is a 360-degree viewing platform where you can climb up to the top and while doing so, you get to enjoy both, a panoramic view of the city and the magnificent inner parts of the building.I was impressed by the audio guide that is provided in this building.It works with sensors along the way to the top of the building.So you get descriptions of the historical sights outside of the building as you walk along the platform.Cool huh?

The only thing that's not cool is that you have register in advance to enter the building.They are more strict after the global changes and situations that are considered as threats to Reichstag.So you'll to go through the security before being able to enter the building.Most important thing to remember is the advance registration which you can do by clicking here.

Lets enjoy the wonderful pics my friends and I have taken... :)
