Mike Ottavi-BrannonSeptember 10, 2017100% 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 KoukidisApril 15, 2015Book 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 WilliamsJuly 8, 2017Restaurant 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 LopezJanuary 15, 2016If 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 CherniavskyiSeptember 1, 2018Great spot to see the most important places of the city and read about their history!
Buy your early morning tickets the day before. No waiting after opening.
mizz linDecember 25, 2016Hang 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 amzJuly 24, 2018Emm 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 + VictoriaFebruary 16, 2015Get 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.
BiancaJune 1, 2015You 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.comNovember 23, 2011This 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.
Anna van WAugust 13, 2016Amazing 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.
TmuDecember 26, 2018You don’t need a window seat at the restaurant- the view is amazing also on the inner circle!
The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 13, 2012Originally 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.
Meltem KJanuary 10, 2017Worth a visit on sunny days :) panoramic Berlin view & fully turning Restaurant. The entrance fee is a bit high though.
Célestin MeunierAugust 21, 2015Everybody say it's over-rated, but it's actually really cool, amazing view of the center. Reserve online to skip the line!
Jeanette MaylandMarch 25I 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.
- Jack SmithSeptember 5, 2014Make the most of your visit, and book tickets in advance. While you're there, make a reservation for the superb restaurant too.
sunmio KoffeinwasserOctober 5, 2016Very nice view by night. Take late night tickets and enjoy your favorite cocktails in the bar up there 😜
MuratJune 8, 2022Centrally 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.
Torben AndersenJuly 11, 2014Book 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.
Nischay MohanJuly 18, 2015Cool 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.
James JenkinsAugust 11, 2016Book in advance, even if it's the day before huge queues if you arrive without tickets
Francisco CanoAugust 13, 2014The 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.
Rick DoesburgSeptember 1, 2015Book a ticket in advance so you don't have to wait (as long). Nice scenic view of Berlin.
Zara KhanOctober 24, 2014Walk around and let it all sink in. Here you will find bars, restaurants, a mall and shopping stores! Busy spot for sure!
Clayton PowersFebruary 1, 2012Had 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
Erizo García RiveraDecember 9, 2015Best 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.- Francisco CanoAugust 13, 2014If 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.
Dee ScaranoJanuary 8, 2014You 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.
Daniel KongsayasakAugust 19, 2015After 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.- Natasha BuckhamDecember 13, 2015I 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 WareMarch 11, 2017very 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 KosmaMay 1, 2018Amazing 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 SaragihOctober 22, 2014Order your ticket online in advance to avoid long line. Go in the night for amazibg citylights view.
Pelin DuraJanuary 6, 2015you 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
Lars TrieloffMay 15, 2016Experience 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.- KasparsSeptember 30, 2018Gets 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.
Hotel IndigoJanuary 27, 2014Located 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 RochaJanuary 25, 2014Buy your tickets online (even in front of the tower on your cell phone!) and avoid the massive queues.
Michelle van RoodenAugust 18, 2011Gourmets 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.
Besher SouedAugust 8, 2015Panoramic view of Berlin. You can visit it at day or night. Recommended on a clear sunny day
AlexandrosDecember 25, 2015Choose to visit on a clear day, and be prepared for longer lines. The restaurant at the top is actually worth it!
Monique ListAugust 25, 2012If 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 🍀March 28, 2015The best view in Berlin! Try not to drink too much in the restaurant upstairs, you'll get dizzy anyway from the bowl spinnig.
JonathanDecember 16, 2013When 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)!- 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.

"Quite cheesy, but that's to be expected in a touristy place. Grab a beer and do a few laps of the 360 view and take in the history of Berlin."
