The day I went, the dome was shut. Therefore, the hour queue to get in contributed greatly to the sense of dissappointment when it was just a flat roof with some views to look at. It's easy to say don't bother when you've already done it, but - Don't Bother. more

I have seen the Reichstag and it is a beautiful building, expressing the idealism and tolerance of the German people. The fact that a Briton designed it is perhaps more controversial, even if Norman Foster did win the competition on merit. Vast amounts of Europe’s most treasured and irreplaceable architectural heritage were destroyed by the Royal Air Force in World... more

It is worth the wait in line. I enjoyed my visit to the Reichstag on my last day in Berlin. I had passed it several times on outings to other locations.

You can spend as long as... more

You can find heaps of photos online but for a quick fix head to my photostream where I have uploaded just a fraction of what I took there. I was totally blown away by this building. If you like architecture (I know nothing about it, I just like looking at it!) then you’re bound to be moved by this. It’s... more
