Extreme temperatures: Heat: The glass dome of the Bundestag remains closed at the weekend

Due to the extreme heat, the glass dome of the Reichstag building and the roof terrace will be closed to visitors on weekends. The German Bundestag announced this on its website. The “Tagesspiegel” previously reported.

Due to the heat, the terrace and dome cannot be visited all day on Saturday and Sunday, it was said. Visits that had already been confirmed have been canceled. “In general, for safety reasons, if temperatures continue to be high, the dome and, in exceptional cases, the roof terrace of the Reichstag building may be closed.”

From the accessible glass dome of the Reichstag building, visitors can usually look into the plenary hall of the German Bundestag. The dome also offers a wide view of Berlin.
