Full Description

The Berlin TV Tower at Alexanderplatz

The Berlin TV Tower, the Fernsehturm, rises 368 metres above Alexanderplatz and is the tallest structure in Germany. It was built between 1965 and 1969 as a broadcasting tower and a showpiece of East Berlin, and its slim concrete shaft topped by a steel sphere soon became the symbol of the whole city. On sunny days the sunlight forms a bright cross on the sphere, a detail Berliners still love to point out.

Is the Berlin TV Tower worth it? With this ticket the answer is easy, because you combine the classic visit with a meal. The fast-track entrance takes you past the queue at the ticket desk, which can be long on weekends and in summer, and the lift climbs at about six metres per second, reaching the sphere in well under a minute.

The Sphere revolving restaurant at 207 metres

The restaurant occupies the level just above the observation deck inside the sphere. The outer ring of tables turns slowly, completing one rotation in about an hour, so without leaving your seat you watch the whole city drift past the windows. A host who speaks English and German welcomes you and shows you to your reserved table.

Plan around two hours for the whole visit. The menu covers breakfast in the morning, lunch dishes during the day and a dinner menu in the evening, with options for children, and you order and pay at the table. Reserving a table here is the most comfortable way to enjoy the view: instead of standing at a crowded window, you sit beside the glass and let the city come to you.

The 360-degree view over Berlin

From 207 metres the whole of central Berlin unfolds below you. To the west lie Museum Island with the green domes of Berlin Cathedral, the boulevard of Unter den Linden, the Brandenburg Gate, the glass dome of the Reichstag and the vast green of the Tiergarten. To the south you spot the towers of Potsdamer Platz and, further away, the former Tempelhof airfield, now a huge open park.

The best time to visit the TV Tower depends on what you want to see. A morning table brings clear light and calm, a late-afternoon slot lets you watch the sun set over the western districts, and an evening reservation shows the city lights spreading out to the horizon. On very clear days visibility reaches up to around 40 kilometres.

Around Alexanderplatz

Alexanderplatz is one of Berlin's busiest squares and a major transport hub. Next to the tower stands the World Time Clock, a favourite meeting point since 1969, and at the foot of the tower you find the brick St Mary's Church, one of the oldest churches in the city, the Neptune Fountain and the Red Town Hall, seat of Berlin's mayor.

How to get to the TV Tower is simple: S-Bahn trains, several U-Bahn lines, trams and buses all stop at Alexanderplatz station, a two-minute walk from the entrance on Panoramastraße. Museum Island and the old Nikolai quarter are a short walk away, so a meal at the tower fits neatly before or after a day of sightseeing in the historic centre.
