Reichstag Building: A Symbol of Democracy and History

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from Pomerania to the Reichstag Building in Berlin, start by getting onto the A11 highway heading south towards Berlin. After approximately 1.5 hours, merge onto the A10 Berliner Ring. Continue on A10 for about 30 minutes, then take the exit towards A100, which will lead you directly into Berlin. Follow signs for 'Zentrum' and 'Mitte'. Once you reach the center, look for signs directing you to the Reichstag Building. There are several parking options nearby, but please note that parking can be limited and may incur fees.

• Train

  For those using public transportation, take a regional train from major stations in Pomerania, like Szczecin or Gdańsk, to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Central Station). The journey usually takes around 2 to 3 hours depending on your departure point. Once you arrive at Berlin Hauptbahnhof, exit the station and walk towards the east exit. From there, it’s a short 15-minute walk to the Reichstag Building. Follow the signs to 'Reichstag' and cross the Spree River via the bridge. The address is Platz der Republik 1, 11011 Berlin.

• Bus

  You can also consider taking a long-distance bus from various locations in Pomerania to Berlin. Companies like FlixBus operate services that connect cities such as Szczecin and Gdańsk with Berlin. The bus will typically drop you off at Berlin ZOB (Central Bus Station). From there, you can take the U-Bahn (subway) line U2 from ZOB to Potsdamer Platz, then transfer to line S3, S5, S7, or S9 to reach Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Once you arrive at the station, it’s a 15-minute walk to the Reichstag Building.
