Info about our meeting point : our tour of the government district starts in front of the Futurium (House of Futures) and not in front of the Reichstag (please pay attention)
Admission to the Reichstag is not part of the tour. Prior registration is required. Without registration, the Parliament building, the Chamber and the dome cannot be visited. Admission to the Reichstag is only possible with an invitation from the Bundestag or the Beetle Roof Garden Restaurant.

All offers from the German Bundestag are of course free of charge, since the parliament and the visitor service are financed from tax money (that is why you have already indirectly paid for the visit long ago).
