Site of the German Gouvernment
The heart of Berlin's government district is the Reichstag building with its iconic glass dome. Visitors can tour the Reichstag and see the roof terrace which affords fantastic views over the city – but remember to register in advance.
Nearby is the equally famous Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin's most photographed landmarks which stands at the top of Unter den Linden, a tree-lined avenue packed with historic buildings.
South of the Brandenburg Gate is Berlin's moving Holocaust Memorial; 2,700 concrete columns arranged in rows. The Reichstag also overlooks the east end of the city's Tiergarten park where you can enjoy food and drink at one of the many beer gardens.
