Berlin TV Tower Admission Tickets

About this experience

Berlin TV Tower Tickets The Berlin TV Tower stands 368 metres tall, making it Germany's tallest structure and the city's most recognisable landmark. Built in the 1960s by the GDR as a symbol of Communist progress, this concrete giant now offers spectacular 360-degree views over Berlin from its observation deck at 207 metres high. You'll take a high-speed lift to the circular observation platform, where you can spot major landmarks including the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral, Reichstag, and Museum Island spread out below. The River Spree winds through the cityscape, and on clear days you can even see Tempelhof Airport in the distance. Information displays around the deck explain the tower's Cold War construction and its role in the symbolic rivalry between East and West Berlin.
