Berliner Fernsehturm in Berlin

Renovation closed restaurant does not rotate. You do not say this when buying biketow

It used to be better, well, dirty and always having to be careful that you still have your bag on your arm

Very nice view. Very friendly staff, whether at ticket sales, security check, or elevator.

The tallest building in the city, with a good view of the entire city in good weather. Good exhibitions. The entrance fee is quite steep, so book online in advance.

The Berlin Tower is simply magnificent! The climb is definitely worth it: the panoramic view from the top is breathtaking. You can admire all of Berlin from above, a unique and memorable moment. A must-see during a stay in the German capital. I highly recommend it! 🗼🇩🇪

The trip to the TV tower at Alexanderplatz is worth it, despite the price. The view stretching far beyond Berlin is impressive. The crowds were accordingly large. Buying tickets online in advance is recommended.

In general, it is a very tall TV tower. You can see it from afar, its size is really surprising, in real life it is much bigger than it seems. Although it is huge, this is one of its few advantages. In itself it does not decorate the sky nicely, and the construction itself is simply boring. Apparently you can get inside and see the view from it, which I am unfortunately not able to assess. From the outside it is simply an interesting and huge TV tower, but without any surprises or aesthetics.

The Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city — and you truly can’t miss it. It dominates the skyline and serves as a great visual reference point when you're navigating the city. We started our self-guided walking tour of Berlin from Alexanderplatz Subway Station, which is just steps away from the base of the tower. It was the perfect starting point for a day of sightseeing, and while we didn’t go up the tower, we appreciated it as a landmark and city centerpiece. In our opinion, the TV Tower is actually best appreciated from a distance — that’s when you can really admire how it rises above the Berlin cityscape. From close up, it’s mostly just a large concrete structure at the base, and you lose the visual drama that makes it so striking from afar. Whether you choose to go up for the panoramic views or just enjoy it as part of the skyline while exploring the city, the Berlin TV Tower is definitely worth noting and snapping a few photos of. It’s a great symbol of Berlin — modern, bold, and impossible to ignore.

I can recommend this place if you have a thick skin ;-)

It's worth it. I got information that the wait was up to 1 hour but I went in immediately. It's better to buy a ticket online, the price is also supposedly lower than 34.50 e

A very good viewpoint! A little expensive and not so great for taking photos, but it's 360 degrees and shows you all the most important places in the city.

Super expensive. But without a doubt, best view in town!

View is nice, operation is smooth, price is much higher than other worldwide observation decks.

PORTUGUESE / ENGLISH Berlin TV Tower. A tourist spot worth visiting. It is located at Alexander Platz. A 360° view over the city and as far as the eye can see. In my opinion, the best time to visit is before and until sunset. Access tickets can be purchased at the door. However, it is preferable to buy online and in advance, depending on the time of year.

Fantastic views across the city. The lift is very smooth and we enjoyed the Soviet futuristic vibes. Book tickets in advance to avoid long queues.

There is a very good view up there

No better place to have a view of Berlin

You have the chance to watch Berlin 360 degrees, but the price is high

It was worth climbing the tower to see Berlin!

The view is great but the prices are now quite high.

Amazing view over Berlin, an absolute must! We spent an hour up there and it was so worth it.

So, if you're in Berlin, you have to go up the TV tower at least once. It's best to book in advance, so you can get a time slot that works out smoothly. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Ideal for giving ideas of places to visit.

The view is absolutely great with the good weather, it is definitely worth the price. The staff are nice, speaking English, there's a cafe on top and also the restroom!

Two adults and two children go up, see the city, and then go back down, paying 98 euros. In 1988, it was 16 marks, and in 1999, 30 DM. Unfortunately, it's no longer feasible for a normal-income family.

I honestly didn't like the experience at all; the lights reflected off the glass, making it hard to see the city. The brightly lit bar also reflected off the glass, making it very difficult to see the city; we had to wander around looking for something to see. I went at night, thinking the city would look prettier, but we were in for another surprise. They charged us 35 euros per person, which is super expensive.

I bought tickets online in advance and didn't have to wait to enter. The process was smooth and the view was good. There was a lot of interesting information about individual buildings.

Cool but not many interesting things

We'd happily go back anytime. We booked a slot in advance, and that was a good thing, as it meant we could visit the tower at the agreed time without having to wait. The view over Berlin was wonderful when the weather was nice.

Sure you can see all of Berlin, but all in all it's a bit disappointing

At 368 meters high, the Berlin TV Tower is the tallest structure in Germany and one of the capital's most famous landmarks. The observation deck is located at 203 meters, from where you can enjoy an impressive 360-degree view of Berlin. Elevator & Ascent The elevator took us to the top in just 40 seconds – a very fast ride. Particularly interesting (or, for some, unpleasant) was the opportunity to look through a glass window into the elevator shaft. While some visitors find this an exciting experience, I felt a bit nauseous. Observation Deck & Technology Once at the top, a fantastic view of Berlin awaited us. An interactive app allows you to view important buildings and even remnants of the Berlin Wall on your smartphone, making exploring the city from above even more informative. Price & Service The entrance fee was €32 per person, which, while high for such a landmark, is justified given the unique experience. Unfortunately, the revolving restaurant "Sphere" was closed for renovations, so we couldn't try it out. Conclusion Overall, the visit to the Berlin TV Tower was a fantastic experience. The organization seemed very professional, and the combination of modern technology and historical perspective made the visit particularly worthwhile. The price isn't cheap, but it's highly recommended for tourists who want to experience Berlin from a bird's eye view.

Mega cool attraction and wild views of all of Berlin

A bit pricey and no lift or escalator from ticket office on ground level to lift to the top on the first floor

The landmark of East Berlin, the tallest building in the EU, as far as we were told. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed; due to the wait time and the price, we postponed our visit until another time. Still, it makes a beautiful photo opportunity.

A famous Berlin attraction that is a must-see. It's best to do it during the day, as it's hard to see much in the dark. And to get there at the right time, you need to book tickets in advance.

Can be visited once. Nearby food, cafe, souvenir shops options are available. Recommended to book in advance if visiting the tower. It's a crowded place so beware of your belongings.

Definitely worth visiting if you are in Berlin. The view is stunning. I bought a ticket on their official website, it cost me 24 euros (January 2025).

Unfortunately, the restaurant upstairs is being renovated or remodeled. As a result, some areas on the viewing level are restricted by construction barriers. The view, however, is stunning.

Nothing special, the TV tower in Moscow is more interesting.

We're not very high up (200m), the town isn't very pretty, there aren't many iconic buildings, and we're far from the city center, so it's of limited interest... the Lego model of the city is very nice, though. It's not essential, but if you're short on activities, why not, although the price remains high given the lack of interest in the view.

Coooool place, the view was very nice

nice sight during night time, it is a must to do in Berlin

An incomparable view of Berlin!

Nothing special and very expensive no matter how good the view is

I planned on visiting a restaurant, having a delicious drink and beautiful views. We chose with this intention. Unfortunately it was closed. We found crowds, bustle and beautiful views. Still, it's worth it once in a lifetime. Four stars only due to disappointment with the lack of restaurant availability.

Pricey. But with the Welcome Card you get a nice discount. In retrospect, it was worth it. Beautiful view of Berlin. In just a few seconds you will be a good 200m high. Good organization and security. Drinks upstairs are expensive.

The trip to the television tower with a cocktail and a meal that we booked online was very nice except for a few minor flaws. Weather and views fantastic. Employees are all very nice. There was no space for our reservation. The employee did everything she could to get seats for us. Which then worked. It was very crowded and the "reserved" seats were right next to the elevator. It seemed very disorganized. Maybe that should be improved. Otherwise a great experience.

Tv tower is a must see atraction in Berlín. Highly recommended

Nice view but nothing extraordinary

I always enjoy coming here, this “place” is addictive.🙃

Great view from the tower over Berlin. The visit is highly recommended.

An absolute highlight in Berlin! The Berlin TV Tower is not only an impressive landmark, but also offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. The climb to the top was quick and well organized, and once you get to the top there are 360 ​​degree views that are simply unforgettable - especially at sunset. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, with delicious food and a unique atmosphere. Anyone visiting Berlin should definitely put the TV Tower on their list. Highly recommended!

Organized like everything in Germany. It's a crazy building on the one hand, and a must-see on the other. There are also toilets and a bar, possibly a restaurant (but reservations must be made). If you are planning a trip here, be sure to book your tickets in advance.

So, I saw it from the outside, it's really something to see... It was the thing I absolutely wanted to do! 44€ for me and my 6 year old daughter with welcome Berlin. Well, it's expensive to put up an elevator and the view is nothing exceptional! I find that compared to 6€ (for both of us) with audio the bunker is more impressive, with the historical research.... I did it but if I come back... I won't do it again!

Berlin TV Tower is a landmark and worth visiting. When purchasing tickets, we recommend buying them online as you save another €5 instead of at the checkout.

A reservation is definitely necessary, beautiful views, it's a shame that the restaurant is closed, the lookout tower doesn't really rotate.

It wouldn't be a lie if we said it was the symbol of the city.

Very cool place to see 360 view of Berlin!

The view is stunning. I didn't have to wait in long lines. Photos aren't clear.

Fantastic views of Frankfurt. Great way to get your city orientation. Well run with friendly staff.

Once in Berlin, if you want to get an idea of ​​everything the city has to offer from a bird's eye view, you can climb the tower, which is not cheap, but it is worth it. On the ticket is the price for two people with a Welcome Card discount

All day sold out at 1300.. Be sure to get your ticket online

A great tower with a great view!

Amazing 360° view from the top of the tower (~210m height). Especially cool at sunset, but be aware it gets crowded - the top floor is relatively small. Some parts of the tower are currently in renovation.

A must visit when in Berlin.. The view is just amazing

Fast elevator lift. Good views. Labelled photos identify important, but distant, landmarks. Photography somewhat hindered by reflections on the glass.

Highly recommended, if you are in Berlin you have to go up, panoramic views of the entire city, tickets are a bit expensive €26, you have to get them in advance, and I recommend early in the day, after 11am there are too many people up there.

Get tickets in advance. It usually fills up. Good views. With the city pass it is cheaper.

It is the tallest tower in the city

Far too expensive for a view over Berlin

Higher than the Eiffel Tower! Higher than the Eifel Tower! ;)

Unfortunately, there are no seating options (although there would be enough space) in the ticket counter area and there is no way to get to the first floor without using the stairs - but the elevator only goes from there. A challenge or impossible for old people or people with walking difficulties. Luckily, the gentleman at the elevator was nice enough to let my 88-year-old mother sit there until the elevator arrived. Otherwise a great and recommendable experience.

Good technology from the GDR and it still holds up!

The Berlin TV Tower offers spectacular 360-degree views of the city from its observation deck. Its unique design and revolving restaurant make it a memorable and iconic Berlin experience.

Fantastic views from this iconic landmark. The restaurant is being refurbished so we just went for the views but they are superb with excellent info provided. We also did the VR experience which was surprisingly good.

A must do when visiting Berlin great views friendly staff well priced and fantastic displays around the viewing platform of what you can see good security so made to feel safe

for about 25 euros! (not zloty!)...you can take the elevator up to enjoy the view. There are also vending machines where you can get completely overpriced drinks and snacks, and a bar where you can only pay by card. (I couldn't see how much the coffee cost, but the "cocktail of the day" was 17 euros) The restaurant is currently being renovated. At the entrance you are scanned "of course" like at the airport. One star because all the employees are very friendly. My conclusion: you really have to want it.

Beautiful view and experience. I don't know why I expected it to be more interactive or that there was more to do but instead it's a single indoor floor where you can go around the sphere in such a way as to have a 365° view. During the tour there are all the explanations of the monuments and buildings that can be seen from which specific point. There is also a bar but the wait or the lack of offer disappoints.

It was a lot of fun, the tour was impressive. I felt a little dizzy in the elevator, but you go up to a height of 200 meters!

A great experience, imagine seeing Berlin from a high elevated platform

SPY MUSEUM: A great interactive museum, perfect for teens, especially the laser trail. Some truly surprising objects, including a micro-female underwear set and a riddle.

Disappointing at night – barely visible and an unfriendly reception We went to the TV tower in the evening and were looking forward to a beautiful view at night. Unfortunately, the view was a huge disappointment: Due to the strong reflections in the windows, it was almost impossible to see anything. Photos were barely possible, and even with the naked eye, there wasn't much of a view of the city. In addition, we were treated rather unfriendly upon entry. The staff seemed stressed and overwhelmed when dealing with guests – not a particularly inviting start to our visit. For the price, we definitely expected more. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend visiting after dark.

Beautiful view. Super friendly staff. We'd love to come back.

The Berlin TV Tower is an absolute must for visitors to Berlin. The view from the platform is breathtaking – in good weather, you can see up to 40 km away! It's especially worth a visit at sunset. The revolving restaurant is a great experience, but the prices there are rather high. The wait for entry can be a bit long, especially without an online ticket. The security checks also sometimes seem a bit excessive, but that's part of the experience. Overall, a fantastic experience with a unique view of the capital – ideal for tourists and photographers.

Nice view unfortunately the restaurant is closed due to renovation

Cool view. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Thank you very much.

Is it justified to pay over €90 for a family of four for an elevator ride and a panoramic view of Berlin? It's a shame, actually a well-known landmark and from experience a nice experience, but not at this price 🤔

The Berlin TV Tower, also known as the Fernsehturm, is a famous landmark located in the heart of Berlin, Germany. The tower stands at 368 meters (1,207 feet) tall, making it the tallest structure in Germany and one of the tallest in Europe. The tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the East German government, as a symbol of communist power and technological progress. It was designed by a team of architects led by Hermann Henselmann, and was intended to serve as a television and radio broadcasting center. Despite its original purpose, the Berlin TV Tower quickly became a beloved symbol of the city, and a popular tourist attraction. Today, visitors to the tower can enjoy panoramic views of the city from the observation deck, located 203 meters (666 feet) above ground. In addition to the observation deck, the Berlin TV Tower also features a number of restaurants and cafes, including a revolving restaurant that offers stunning views of the city skyline. The tower is also used as a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, exhibitions, and corporate events. Over the years, the Berlin TV Tower has become an integral part of the city's cultural and historical heritage. It serves as a symbol of both the city's past and its future, and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

There is no point in going in the dark, especially for that amount of money. There are a lot of people, it’s hot, it’s not interesting. I advise you to go up to another observation deck - Panoramapunkt am Potsdamer Platz 1, 10785

A wonderful place and I recommend paying the tickets, from where you can see all of Berlin, it may seem expensive but it is worth it with the views it has and spending time there, in my case we went up at night but it was still beautiful to see Berlin at night.

It's worth going up. And it is better to do it when you have already visited the city to recognize the places where you have passed. The views are incredible.

One of the nice landmark in Berlin

A place you absolutely have to see.

In the heart of Alexanderplatz stands the Berliner Fernsehturm, a steel rod high 368.03 metres (including the antenna), completed on 3 October 1969 by order of the German Democratic Republic, with Hermann Henselmann as the main architect and state builders of the GDR   . Built between 1965 and 1969, it was born as a TV and radio transmission system, but from day one it established itself as a manifesto of technological power and an ideological symbol of socialism. At approximately 203.78 metres high, a large sphere 32 metres in diameter acts as a viewing platform, with 60 large windows which on a clear day allow you to look up to 42 km away  . Two high-speed elevators – capable of carrying 12 people each in less than 40 seconds – connect the base to the viewpoint, while those who dare the 986 steps of the internal staircase can experience the slow ascent through the reinforced concrete core. Today the Fernsehturm is not only the tallest building in Germany and the third tallest in the European Union, but also a magnet for over 1.2 million visitors a year, of which around 60 % are foreigners from over 90 countries . Although it no longer maintains its ancient ideological charge, it remains a silent witness to the history of Berlin: a treasure chest of memory that unites past and future, capable of telling with a single glance the evolution of a city reborn from its own divisions.

Expensive and bad parking situation

Unfortunately it was sold out. No way to get up

It was a really great experience!

Great views of the city, this is the same as the strat tower in Las Vegas

An unforgettable experience. The visit is definitely worth it. The food in the restaurant also tasted good. We enjoyed the time.

Spectacular panoramic views of Berlin. I recommend taking only the observatory entrance. The one that comes with a menu is not worth it. It's a sausage with sauce or a meatball with sauce of your choice or one or the other with a drink.
