Trips to Berlin
Good to know
Do you need to book the Reichstag in advance?
Yes. The dome and roof terrace are free but require registration through the Bundestag's online system before you go.
How does this four-day Berlin route divide the city?
Each day follows one stretch: West Berlin's squares and museums, the government quarter, Mitte's opera and historic core, then the churches, the Fernsehturm and the Humboldt Forum.
Can a group of friends do Berlin on foot?
Most stops are within walking distance; the few longer moves are short U-Bahn rides, all covered by the same AB ticket.
Which Berlin museums take the longest?
The German Museum of Technology and the Humboldt Forum need the full slots; the churches and the Fernsehturm are quicker stops.
Do you need to book the Reichstag dome in advance?
Yes. The dome and roof terrace are free but entry runs on online registration under a named visitor; bring the document you registered with and allow time at security.
Which view is better, the TV tower or the Reichstag dome?
The tower takes in the whole city at a glance, while the dome looks into the parliament chamber and across the Tiergarten. This trip does both, a day apart.
