100% worth the 14€. What an incredible view . Enjoy the sites with a beer and get a 360°view of Berlin. I'm amazed this isn't on more lists of things to do in Berlin!

Vangelis Koukidis

Book your visit in advance , the waiting line is a nightmare. Visit it at the end of your Berlin stay, this way you understand what you are looking at. Amazing view !

Christopher Williams

Restaurant tickets give you fast access to the elevators , and breakfast itself was reasonably priced (after cost of tickets). Rotating midcentury restaurant is a cool way to experience a touristy spot

Darleny Lopez

If you want a complete, great, amazing view of Berlin, you should come here. I recommend buying the tickets online, so you won't have to wait in line

Leo Cherniavskyi

Great spot to see the most important places of the city and read about their history!

Martin S.

Buy your early morning tickets the day before. No waiting after opening.

mizz lin

Hang onto your ticket from beginning to end or you will have difficulty getting out . There's a restaurant option at the top .Elevator gives you a view of the lift shaft at top speed

Sarah amz

Emm Berlin is beautiful and really worth to staying for a week in it. But I am not sure the tower it’s worth the wait ?!or the money honestly, I didn’t find it special.

Al + Victoria

Get VIP tickets online before visiting - then take the lift straight up to the viewing deck. VIP tickets mean you can reserve a seat by the window in the restaurant .

Bianca

You need to try the breakfast experience in this venue. Its nice to see the world from above. And breakfast was quite decent. Also the cakes are tasty!

DHR.com

This TV tower constructed in the 1960s is the tallest structure in the country . Get a great view of the whole city from the observation deck or admire it while you have snack at the Telecafé.

Tmu

You don’t need a window seat at the restaurant- the view is amazing also on the inner circle!

Anna van W

Amazing 360 degrees of Berlin. Reserve a table at the restaurant , that way you don't have to sand in line for the elevator and you can enjoy the turning tables at the restaurant .

Meltem K

Worth a visit on sunny days :) panoramic Berlin view & fully turning Restaurant . The entrance fee is a bit high though.

Célestin Meunier

Everybody say it's over-rated, but it's actually really cool, amazing view of the center. Reserve online to skip the line !

The Ritz-Carlton

Originally designed to resemble a Soviet Sputnik satellite, Berlin’s TV Tower is a 368m highlight. So are the 360° city views from its bar and restaurant .

Jeanette Mayland

I liked the view but I think admission is too expensive . It’s also a one-time experience because why would you come back? If you go to the bar , the gin & tonic is most value-for-money.

Murat

Centrally located. Impossible to miss it. Going up is a good idea for a fantastic view . However, plan wisely in advance , there is always a very long line .

sunmio FUNCTIONAL ENERGY WATER

Very nice view by night. Take late night tickets and enjoy your favorite cocktails in the bar up there ????

Jack Smith

Make the most of your visit, and book tickets in advance . While you're there, make a reservation for the superb restaurant too.

Torben Andersen

Book cafe seats from home, and you skip the standard line , get quicker access to elevators and coffee+ca ke in the rotating tower. Well worth the money. Check their site for details.

Nischay Mohan

Cool cocktail bar at the top. On average, 45 minute wait for drinks, but it's worth sipping on a beverage and poring out into Berlin and it's fascinating history.

Francisco Cano

The absolute best views of the city are seen here. Try to make it here at least an hour before sunset so you can see the entire city transition from day to night.

Erizo García Rivera

Best views in the city . The restaurant at the top goes round all the way. It is expensive , but it's ideal for a romantic dinner .

Zara Khan

Walk around and let it all sink in. Here you will find bars , restaurants , a mall and shopping stores! Busy spot for sure!

Dee Scarano

You might have to wait an hour or so in peak season. You can buy your ticket and then come back when it's your time. It's pretty cool up there but not as amazing as I expected.

Francisco Cano

If you're interested in eating at the restaurant at the top, make sure you make a reservation plenty of days in advance . They're not likely to have space for walk-in customers.

Daniel Kongsayasak

After buying a ticket you can leave the queue and you will get notified via text message 30 mins before you are due to enter. Obviously the view is great from the top.

Clayton Powers

Had dinner , 2 courses & a bottle of bubbly for 86Euros.lovely atmosphere watching the night sky and the city below so worth the money I say. Only place in the city where we can look down on our hotel

Jay F Kay

Discover 360° Berlin and enjoy once in your life a pimped SOZ breakfast in the Sphere restaurant at the top of the TV tower... #check Read more

Natasha Buckham

I liked the information plaques according to the neighbourhood you were looking at, however it is difficult to see the cityscape in the dark. Maybe it's better to visit during the day!

Essie Ware

very nice views , usually you have to wait since there are queues of people. i came in the morning of a working day and it was nice. costs 14 eur and i guess it is ok if you have not been here earlier

Ifigeneia Kosma

Amazing view from top and info to read about a lot of the buildings that you could see. On the other hand they could not handle the amount of people that were waiting on a sunday morning

Tatha Saragih

Order your ticket online in advance to avoid long line . Go in the night for amazibg citylights view .

Christopher Jones

Pressed penny (5 cent coin) machine on second level, before security.

Pelin Dura

you dont have to wait that much if you go when it opens! you see a great berlin view and get a better understanding of the orientation of places

Kaspars

Gets a bit crowded , beat the queues by booking fast view tickets. This way you save time both up and down. Unless you enjoy long waits .

Lars Trieloff

Experience the lost charm of eastern Germany, not just in terms of the authentic interior design of the lobby, but also in the lack of friendliness of the security personnel.

Hotel Indigo

Located just steps from our boutique hotel in Berlin, visitors can travel 203 meters (666 feet) in 40 seconds via high-speed elevators to the observation level.

Daniel da Rocha

Buy your tickets online (even in front of the tower on your cell phone!) and avoid the massive queues.

Alexandros

Choose to visit on a clear day, and be prepared for longer lines . The restaurant at the top is actually worth it!

Monique List

If you're willing to make the most of your 11€(or more)-trip up the elevator , take a seat in the turning restaurant at te second floor up top. Might wanna make a reservation for that, though.

Joy ????

The best view in Berlin! Try not to drink too much in the restaurant upstairs, you'll get dizzy anyway from the bowl spinnig.

Jonathan

When buying a (digital) VIP or Fast View ticket, they say you can skip the queue. However, there are still queues before the security check and elevators where you'll have to wait (approx. 30 min)!

Michelle van Rooden

Gourmets better stay away from the restaurant.The menu is limited and lacks creativity. Food is flavourless. Service is friendly and fast though. Outstanding view compensates for the shortcomings.

Karin Gattringer

Get the fastview tickets online to avoid waiting lines .

Simon YT

Time your visit just right and you'll see all the landmarks from the obs platform and then enjoy Berlin at night from the restaurant . Get an extra €5 off your bill with a Berlin Welcome Card

Jonathan

Check the weather **FORECAST** before buying tickets. I bought tickets around noon when the weather was great (blue sky). Three hours later, when I got in, it was terribly cloudy. Didn't see much :-(

Jos Jonkeren

To avoid the VERY long queues: make a reservation online here: http://tv-turm-reservierung.de/index/login -- Then you may skip the line and go up before anyone else.

Besher Soued
