Reichstag!

Yay finally got to see the Reichstag. Basically there's a huge and long history about the Parliament building that you could read about.

But aside from history stuff, the experience was pretty incredible. We walked up the ramp, spiraling around the glass dome, with Berlin beneath us. The audioguide gave explanations on what each building was, so it was a great way to see the city without walking anywhere at all. The dome was pretty futuristic looking too, kind of like a spaceship center, especially the way the structure was holding up the ramp.
