Is Reichstag Dome worth it for history buffs?

Worth itFor history

For history & culture, Reichstag Dome delivers.

The mirrored cone and the spiral walk give you 360° views over the Tiergarten and government quarter, and the audio guide ties the architecture to German democracy in a genuinely smart way. The catch: it's free but you must register online days in advance, and slots vanish in summer.
