It was a very enjoyable experience and cheap (5 euros per person). We visited the tower in the evening and there was no queue. There was a beautiful view from the top of the tower and there were hardly any people.
Our German friends told us that the TV tower experience is much better as it's closer to the city centre - but also it's much more expensive and the waiting time is longer. You should do both towers but if you have not a lot of money or time, Funkturm will do.

Stuck out on the west side of the city I don't think many tourists ever think about visiting here, but it's an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so at somewhere different.
Built in the 1920's this radio tower allows visitors a chance to see Berlin from a different perspective. I won't go into too much detail because you get the chance to look at the tower's history once you are there, but it has not been an easy life for it.
Once you've paid a few euros you take the lift to the open air viewing platform and enjoy the view of West Berlin, so long as you are not afraid of heights! It is quite open to the elements!
There is also a restaurant half way up that you can visit if you wish.

My boyfriend went with me to the Berlin Funkturm on the 20th of May. It was a very warm and sunny day and we enjoyed the great view. Then the big surprise came for me: my boyfriend took out of his pocket a very beautiful diamond ring and asked me if I want to marry him! Sure I said YES and sure because of this moment I’ll never forget this day at the Funkturm.
But not only because of this romantic moment I love the Funkturm – it’s a great place and I like it much more than the view from the Fernsehturm.

Well, while the view over Berlin is quite nice, we don't know whether this justifies a €25 bill (for 2 tickets), an hour wating time, a crammed ride in the elevator up, a view enjoyed with many, many people (in a curry wurst smell) an 15 minutes wait to be able to go down in the crammed elevator, and being happy you didn't faint. We guess every experience is an experience, but whether this belongs to the must do's when visiting in Berlin, not really...

Obviously we are fated never to ascend the Funkturm! We have made numerous visits to Berlin in recent years, and have hoped to ascend the Funkturm. This radio tower (close to Kaiserdamm Ubahn station in the Western suburbs of Berlin) is much cheaper than the Fernsehturm in Alexanderplatz, and is reputed to provide good views.
On many occasions the visibility has made a visit unrealistic. On one visit, it was a bright, crisp day with good visibility – so off we went. The tower was closed as the weather was deemed too cold! This May we thought our luck was in. The weather was mild, visibility good and we confirmed on the net that it was open before setting off. When we got there, an official showed us where to go. On arrival at the foot of the tower, however, the ticket office was closed and the lower part of the tower was shrouded in scaffolding, with a crane operating above it. No-one was in sight to ask what was happening; but we waited around for about 20 minutes in case anyone turned up. No-one did. The only people in sight were the workmen operating the crane. So we gave up and went home! We strongly recommend that you phone before setting out to visit the Funkturm; clearly the website is unreliable!

I have been up the Funk Turm (Radio Tower) several times when I lived in Berlin from 1982 - 1990. I tried to visit in 2007 and 2015 when we were attending Grune Woche, but being January the tower was closed. I tried again on my most recent visit to Berlin earlier this month, but yes, you guessed it, the tower was closed yet again.
I understand it now costs 5 Euros to visit the viewing platform which is a good price. To get a feel for Berlin I believe you have to get some elevation, be it; TV Tower at Alexander Platz, Victory Column, Glockenspiel at Olympic Stadium, Grune Wald Turm or the Funk Turm.
All of these mentioned above appear to be closed during the winter, expect TV Tower, so a visit to Berlin during the summer is recommended.

I decided to visit this tower because it had some history to it and who doesn't like a view.
The first time I visited I was told it was closed to the public due to a private event being held there, so a good tip would be to check with the website or call ahead to make sure its going to be open for your visit.
Anyhow I returned the next day and it was open, when I got to the bottom of the tower there were two other people waiting to buy tickets for the observation platform and we waited for 20 minutes for someone to come and open the ticket office so we could pay our five euros to go up in the lift.
Anyway, I suppose it was worth the wait, the views are not as good as the tv tower in Alexander Platz as this tower is quite a way out from the center of Berlin but historically very interesting. I would recommend a visit.

Great view from the platform and restaurant. Bathroom is worth visiting as well. Usually not crowded and reasonable entry prices.

It is nice to have an overall idea, but it is not cheap. I would not do it a second time (as I have visited many times the Eiffel Tower).

just beside the mini Eifel tower, I had this apportunity to visit the ICC hall, which was costructed around the 79s, is absolutely science fiction. Wow, the hall has a look as if it is made out of alluminium and ready to fly away. A must for all those who love designs ....

Liebe Doreen N,
bis zum Restaurant in 55m Höhe kann man mit einem Rollstuhl. Es sind aber nur maximal zwei Rollstühle zur gleichen Zeit gestattet.
Zur Aussichtsplattform in 126m Höhe kann man aus Platzgründen leider nicht mit einem Rollstuhl.
Viel Spaß in Berlin!
