Yeah, awesome view. Not to be missed. Especially when people come visit, there is no better place to get the overview on the city.

The price to go up (around 10 EUR) can be cut in half if you are a Get2Card holder. And make sure you go early so you don’t have to stand in line.

I remember 1986/87 when I went up for the first time. We went to the cafe and had coco (or something) and waited for it to go round to be able to look into West Berlin - well, nowadays you just take the next cab, subway or s-train there…. Memories!

The Fernsehturm (Television tower), called "Alex", is part of the former eastern sector of the German Capitol. Inside the building you can see typical elements of the socialist architecture of the late 1960s.
Riding up the tower (platform height about 200m) takes 40sec and costs 8,50 € / children and groups may differ. Sometimes it takes an hour or more to get to the cashiers desk, but the view is worth waiting.

The view of this traditional sightseeing must-have-visited-place is gorgeous, but you should really wait 'till you have a clear and bright day to really enjoy the view. Sitting in the restaurant and waiting until the sun goes down is a very special and great experience, especially when the lights in the city start going on.

A great place from which you can see the whole city.

it has taken a couple of years until I finally followed the advice of some friends. This ex-communist landmark really offers a great view.
