TV Tower (Fernsehturm)

Berlin’s tallest structure, offering 360‑degree views from a revolving observation deck above Alexanderplatz.

The Fernsehturm is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and a classic way to get your bearings from above.

How to fit the TV Tower into your day

  • Morning: Start with clear‑sky views, then explore Alexanderplatz and nearby shopping streets.
  • Afternoon: Combine with Museum Island and a walk along the Spree.
  • Evening: Time your visit for sunset and the city lights switching on.

Before you go

  • Book a timed ticket in advance, especially for sunset slots and weekends.
  • Arrive a bit early to allow for security screening and elevator queues.
  • If you get vertigo, choose a shorter visit and stand a little farther back from the glass.
