What To See From The TV Tower

At 368 meters tall, the TV Tower is the tallest structure in Berlin (and, actually, in the whole of Germany!). What should you look out for during a trip to the top?

Reichstag

Reichstag

Designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster, the glint of the German parliament building's distinctive glass dome should easily catch your eye.

Brandenburg Gate

Brandenburg Gate

Just south of the Reichstag, you'll see the iconic symbol of German reunification.

Olympic Stadium

See if you can spot the white circle of the stadium, where the infamous 1936 Olympics took place. These days, it has become home to arena concerts and important football matches.

Tiergarten

Tiergarten

What's that massive patch of dark green in the middle of the city? It's the Tiergarten, Berlin's answer to Central Park, dating back to 1527.

Revolving Restaurant

Revolving Restaurant

Feeling peckish? No need to come back down to earth. The revolving restaurant allows you to enjoy lunch or dinner while getting 360-degree panoramic views from your seat.

Our insider tips

Do I need to book a tour in advance?

It's advisable, since this is definitely one of the top attractions in Berlin. Many tour options will come with a Fast View ticket, which will take you straight to the front of the line.

When should I go?

Any time of year is fine, but the skies will generally be clearer (and the sunset will happen later!) from May onwards.

What are the opening hours?

Entry is from 9:00AM until midnight from March to October, and 10:00AM to midnight from November until February.

Is the tower wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately, the tower is not wheelchair accessible for reasons of fire evacuation.

Good to know

    The TV Tower is a great place to experience Berlin's late evening summer sunset in July or August. Make a dinner reservation, or book a ticket for between 8:30PM - 10:00PM.

Fabulous way to spend a rainy afternoon!

Watching Berlin pass by as we drank Prosecco & enjoyed a delicious Chicken salad. Perfect!

Very good nostalgic experience, even if visibility was poor.

This was a must revisit for myself and my family. Not been up the tower since 1989 when still in east berlin. Vurtually the same, although the surrounding area has really improved since the fall of the Berlin wall. Will be back again one day, hopefully the weather might be better for the views though

Food, service and ambience were exceptional

My husband and I saved this until the final night of our trip. The service was outstanding, we were treated like VIP's. The choice was adequate (3 dishes of each course) however the food was exceptional, real fine dining style. There was unlimited water included, a glass of sparkling wine on arrival and 2 large glasses of very nice wine. The view was outstanding, the atmosphere was tranquil and relaxing and we'll worth the cost. Would highly recommend this.

Must go and visit and have a meal at night - it was amazing!!

The booking was easy - from the start of the visit to the end the whole evening was amazing that includes the staff and the food. Well worth a re-visit in the future.
