    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!

    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!

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

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

    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.

    Book in advance, even if it's the day before huge queues if you arrive without tickets

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Book online for afternoon kaffee und kuchen, with priority access (no queues) and a window seat in the restarurant. Ganz toll!
