Independent information website about the Berlin TV Tower
The Berlin TV Tower at Alexanderplatz is one of the capital’s best-known landmarks and one of Germany’s most visited attractions. From the observation deck at a height of 203 metres, you have a 360-degree panoramic view across Berlin, from the Brandenburg Gate to well beyond the city centre.
As visitor numbers are limited for each time slot, booking tickets online in advance is recommended. An online ticket gives you a fixed time slot and means you do not have to queue at the ticket office. Security checks and short waits at the entrance or before the lift may still occur. This page explains the main ticket options for the Berlin TV Tower and allows you to compare them directly.
Book Berlin TV Tower Tickets Online
Tickets for the Berlin TV Tower are tied to a booked time slot. When booking online, you select an available time in advance and do not have to queue at the ticket office. Security checks and short waits at the entrance or before the lift may still occur.
Options include tickets for the observation deck, restaurant tickets with a reserved table and packages that include an additional VR experience. Ticket names and included services vary between providers. Before booking, check the final price, time slot and exactly what is included.
Tickets are generally also available from the ticket office on the day of your visit. However, only time slots that are still available can be booked there. The operator sells tickets for the tower both online and on site.
Fast View Ticket for the Observation Deck
The Fast View Ticket provides admission to the observation deck within a pre-booked time slot. With your ticket, you can proceed directly to the security check without queuing at the ticket office.
You then take the lift to the observation deck at a height of 203 metres, where you have a 360-degree panoramic view across Berlin. Security checks and possible waiting times at the entrance or before the lift still apply regardless of the ticket name.
Depending on the provider, a comparable ticket may be called a Fast View Ticket, Fast Track Ticket or Standard Admission Ticket. The name alone therefore does not mean that access is faster than with every other online ticket. What matters is the list of services on the relevant booking page. The GetYourGuide offer currently linked on this website is described as a Standard Admission Ticket and lists a Fast Track Ticket as an included benefit.
Benefits of the Fast View Ticket
- No queuing at the ticket office
- Admission during your booked time slot
- Access to the observation deck
- 360-degree panoramic view across Berlin
from €20.00 per person

Note on Standard, Fast View and Fast Track Tickets
Ticket names are not used consistently by all providers. The official operator currently calls its regular online ticket the Standard Ticket. Other providers use terms such as Fast View or Fast Track for comparable offers. The operator currently lists its Standard Ticket from €20.00.
For this reason, compare the final price, booked time slot, included services and admission conditions. The official operator’s Standard Ticket is not currently sold directly through this website.
SPHERE Revolving Restaurant at the Berlin TV Tower
At the SPHERE by Tim Raue revolving restaurant, you can combine your visit to the Berlin TV Tower with a reserved table and panoramic views across the city. The culinary concept draws on modern Berlin and Brandenburg cuisine.
During your stay, the restaurant slowly rotates around its own axis. This means the view across Berlin changes continuously without you having to leave your seat.
Restaurant tickets are available in different versions. Alongside admission with a time slot, there are packages that include breakfast, lunch or multi-course menus. Which food and drinks are included depends on the package you book. The operator currently offers several restaurant ticket variants with different inclusions.
What Does a Restaurant Ticket Include?
- Lift ride to the restaurant
- Booked time slot
- Reserved table
- Panoramic views during the rotation
- Food and drinks depending on the ticket package
Note
Before booking, check whether your selected ticket includes only admission and a table reservation or also includes a set menu or breakfast.

The Berliner Fernsehturm Discovery focuses on the construction of the tower and shows areas that visitors would not normally be able to access in a film lasting around twelve minutes.
