A lift takes you up to the observation deck, which gives a 360 degree view of the skyline. The standard ticket also covers access to the bar and restaurant on the revolving level, subject to availability. A virtual reality film about Berlin's history is included when it is available.

Tickets and booking
Adult ticket €20. The standard ticket is listed from 20 euros on the tower's own site and includes the ascent. Prices vary by ticket type, and online is the cheaper route.
Buy online before you go. The tower lists online as the best price, and the admission line still applies after you have a ticket.
Getting there
Alexanderplatz station on the U2, U5, U8 and S-Bahn lines is beside the tower.
Tip
Pick a clear day, since low cloud hides the view. Go in the late afternoon to see the city in daylight and as it gets dark.
