Then you will be in just the right place at the TV Tower. From 203 and 207 metres high you can look out over the entire city with its large number of tourist attractions: you can see the Reichstag (Parliament building), the Brandenburg Gate and the Main Railway Station from here, as well as the Olympic Stadium, the Museum Island (Museumsinsel) and the Potsdam Square (Potsdamer Platz).With almost 1.2 million visitors every year, the Berlin TV Tower is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Berlin. For an extra treat, enjoy a meal in Sphere, the revolving restaurant. You will be able to admire Berlin from all angles without leaving your seat. « less

The tower itself is ok (though it looks pretty shoddy in honesty). The problem is getting in We went to the ticket machines to buy our tickets and only after I pressed the "confirm" button did the announcement come over the pa that there was a 3 hour delay. So we could have hung around the area for 3 hours... More

We visited the tower early morning, and hopefully we booked online, the queue is very long, even at 9 am. As we had the booking ticket, we could directly go to the tower without to long, hint is to go in front of the queue and not at the back if you hold a ticket. The view is great, but... More

Tower is berlin's icon. Kind of like the statue of liberty of NY or the Corcovado of Rio. In contrast with the B.Gate, the TV tower seems to be on every berlin t-shirt, novelty item, and has even trickled down to the hip stores. So it's worth the visit. The tower is open late, and yes, there is usually a... More

...don't worry about it. It was pointed out on a tour and that was about all I needed from it. I wouldn't have wasted time going up it. Interesting to know it's history and such, but that's about it.

Book in advance! You will get a better price and won't have to wait as long. Ques are massive and takes around 4 hours on average if u just walk in and buy a normal ticket, around €12 pp. The view is great but is very busy so takes a while to see it all. Restaurant looks and sounds cool... More

When ordering a table in the restaurant in advance, you'll bypass te queue which, after looking at the length of the queue we bypassed, is a GREAT advantage - unless you like queuing. The food was - eh... food, not a gastronomic experience..., but it is possible to just have a cup of cofee and a cake or something. (I... More
