TV tower of Berlin is one of Berlin's most popular attractions!
Shoot up 203 meters in seconds and see as far as 42km from the viewing deck
Take in spectacular views of famous Berlin landmarks such as the Reichstag, Museum Island, Potsdamer Platz, and Brandenburg Gate
Started building the tower in 1965 an ended 1969 by theGerman Democratic Republic, the iconic tower still looks as modern now as it did then. Well, maybe not modern, but it does maintain a 'Buck Rogers rayguns and aliens' type of futuristic kitsch vibe

A great viewing platform where you get 360 degree views of the city. Great views of the river and key monuments dotted across the city.

According to my teen - glad she went because we were there but would never do it again. Buy the tickets to the top- again, because we are tourists...but not again. We went in early June and it was hot and crowded at the top. Not something I enjoyed.

So a large group of us paid to access this tourist attraction. 29 euro pp. this was to have breakfast but that costs extra. It’s worth doing because it revolving and provides you panoramic views of the city. These are indeed breathtaking and worth every penny. I’ve marked it down because of a few issues. The waitress got a bit rude when we asked for extra bread. The restaurant claimed we hadn’t made a booking turning us away despite the tickets stating restaurant. It was only after a second try that we finally provided evidence that we had booked. It wasn’t very busy but did get that way after 10. Don’t miss out though you get a chance to see the city.

Visited here while in Berlin for a short city break and while it’s a must do when in Berlin we did think it was a bit over priced.
We were lucky as we had not pre booked so turned up in hope and we were up in the tower in 20 mins from purchasing our tickets where you can do inside if the ticket machines outside are busy.
Views were very good and lots of good information provided but some of the points of interest were very much in the distance and hard to locate, also we found the viewing area very warm.
Would still recommend when in Berlin

When I read other reviews, I think we were probably lucky, struggled to order online and thought about taking it several times but there was a lot of queue there, but little queue on the last day and we were able to buy a ticket inside the tower when we entered, Small queue for the lift, a bit surprised how many people got into a small lift, but it went well, great view from the tower, a bit too many people there at once, it quickly dissipated, becomes a bit like the Eifel tower and the London Eye, could and order lunch or dinner there, but we didn't, a bit stiff with NOK 330 but I think it was worth it, can definitely be recommended on a trip to Berlin

If you want to avoid crowds and sit and watch the view go by then take the option of the evening meal. The food wasn’t anything special, but it was tasty and the server was engaging. The set menu included three alcoholic drinks each but as I don’t drink I had a choice of soft beverages. It meant we had two choices of starter, three of main but only one dessert - and the dessert was disappointing.
However the views were fantastic and there was something immensely relaxing about watching the world turn.
We went at 8pm on a hot day and it was fine - very pleasant and not busy.

The TV tower located in the well-known Alexander Square is a beautiful experience, you have a panoramic view of the city of Berlin, you can observe the contrasts between the buildings of the former GDR and FRG, what remains of what was the winding Berlin Wall river in a calm and relaxed atmosphere at some point in history its elevators were the fastest in the world even today it is a dizzying climb, highly recommended.

I would have given zero stars if there was such an option. When I arrived at 8:15pm and got the entrance ticket I was told I could stay on the tower for as long as I wanted, as long as I exit before they close at Q11pm. Everything went on smoothly except at the security check.
After I came down from the Observation Deck at about 21:10, there was a seating area next to the exit, where I sat down - just like a few others did - to check my phone to plan my next destination. Then the security check lady came and chased me away in a rude tone. I asked her why, and she said I was not allowed to sit there. I asked to see her manager, and she said the manager went home and I would need to come back tomorrow to talk to the manager. I asked if the manager has an email address. Then she went to get a middle-aged man named “Joris” who claimed to be the manager.
I politely voiced my feedback that if there’s such a rule of visitors not allowed to sit there after visiting the observation deck, or can only sit for a maximum of five minutes, then there should be clear signage to indicate that. Or simply cordon off the area to avoid confusion. Period.
But this “Joris” simply dismissed my feedback as “bull****”, and said he knows his staff well. When others are doing the same thing and only I was chased away, it’s clearly discrimination. And so ill-mannered!
Now I’m just glad that I simply redeemed the entrance ticket as part if the Berlin Welcome Card and didn’t have to pay the full price for it, because it would simply be a waste of money!

You can hardly miss a trip to the TV tower when you are in Berlin. But the price is high, and Berlin from a bird's eye view is not very spectacular. If you're going up first, it's just as well to book tickets for the rotating restaurant, where you can sit down and see the whole of Berlin every 22 minutes

We visited on a mild day, but once we arrived at the viewing floor, the heat became unbearable. While you book a time slot to begin your visit, there is no end time and therefore the number of people in the viewing area increased the heat greatly. (Avoid if it is a hot day!)
Each window highlighted a number of key buildings / areas that were visible by that window and some interesting facts were provided. The attraction may benefit from having some staff on site at various points that could add a human aspect to the visit.
