What is the Fernsehturm TV Tower

Standing at 368 meters, the Fernsehturm is the tallest building in Berlin and is the country’s second-highest structure. It is a major landmark of the city and it is located in the middle of Alexanderplatz in Mitte, one of Berlin’s oldest and busiest squares. You can spot it from miles away, it has become an iconic landmark on the skyline.

The TV Tower was built by the East German government in 1969 as a symbol of state power. On top of it you find a steel sphere containing the impressive revolving restaurant Sphere. Thanks to its stellar location, it offers one of the most impressive views over the city.

What Can I Expect on My Visit to the Tower?

Whether you plan to admire the ever-changing views from inside Sphere, or just go up to get closer to it, you will have an unforgettable experience.

Once at 203 meters above ground level, you can enjoy Germany’s biggest panoramic view from the open-air observation platform. The tower also boasts a restaurant, two bars and a host of souvenir shops.
