We went on a short vacation to Berlin with our eldest granddaughter (almost 14 years old) and visited Alexanderplatz with the Neptune Fountain and the TV Tower as well as the Reichstag. We found the lecture in the plenary hall on the history of the Reichstag and the presentation of the democratic votes on resolutions particularly interesting. The tour of the glass dome was also very impressive. It would be desirable if such lectures and tours were organized for our granddaughter's generation to give them a better understanding of democracy.

Reichstag building highlights

Sights covered on Reichstag tours
Holocaust Memorial
The Holocaust Memorial, also called the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It displays the names of almost 3 million Jewish Holocaust victims in an adjoining underground "Place of Information," received from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.
Brandenburg Gate
Inspired by the Propylaea on the Acropolis of Athens, the Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlin's most well-known historical sites. King Frederick Wilhelm II had this massive Neoclassical gate built in 1788. It used to stand as a representation of a divided country but now represents peace and harmony.
Museum Island
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Spree Island or Museum Island, is located in a 400-meter-long canal nestled between the River Spree and the Kupfergraben. It houses many of the city's oldest sites, like the Altes Museum, which was constructed in 1830 to store the Crown Jewels and artifacts.
Berlin Palace
The Berlin Palace, formally the Royal Palace on Museum Island in Berlin's Mitte district, was the House of Hohenzollern's primary residence from 1443 until 1918. It is regarded as a significant illustration of Prussian Baroque architecture and is one of Berlin's largest structures with a dome that stands 60 meters tall.
Gendarmenmarkt
This lovely plaza from the 17th century is the site of various annual public events, like classical concerts in summer and Christmas markets in winter. Three historic landmark structures, the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral, and the German Cathedral, dominate the Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin's major squares.
Unter der Linden
The most well-known boulevard in Berlin, Unter den Linden, is another favored tourist destination in Reichstag. It is named after the linden or lime trees that flank the grassed pedestrian mall on the median and the two wide carriageways. The avenue connects many tourist attractions, landmarks, and waterways in Berlin, making it a perfect spot for visitors to hang out.
Memorial Church
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, one of Berlin's most intriguing sites, is actually a combination of two churches: the sleek new church built in 1961 and the ruins of the ancient church next to it, including the bulk of its 63-meter-high tower. The original was destroyed in 1943, but its remnants were integrated into the rebuilt complex to preserve the ancient history that they stand for.
Checkpoint Charlie Museum
The Checkpoint Charlie Museum lies on the Friedrichstraße, a famous shopping street in Berlin. This checkpoint once served as a crossing point between East and West Berlin. It houses a wide variety of exhibits and artifacts tracing the history of human rights, along with ones that focus specifically on the history of Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall.
