Quick answers

What if I cannot get a Reichstag appointment?

Keep the building as an exterior stop and continue to the Brandenburg Gate. Do not plan on access to the dome without a confirmed booking.

Are these three full days?

Yes. Travel from the airport, hotel check-in and longer museum queues are additional. On a short arrival day, move the ticketed visit to another day rather than rushing it.

3 days in Berlin

The central government sights work as one walking day. Museum Island gets its own morning before a slower afternoon around Hackescher Markt. The last day follows the Wall from Bernauer Straße to Friedrichshain, using public transport between them. Arrange the Reichstag visit first and swap the order of whole days around museum openings.
