TV Tower tickets
Standard ticket (Fast View)
Access to the observation deck at 203 metres with a fixed time slot. Around €25–27 for adults, less for reduced. The time slot is binding. Early is fine, late is not.
Premium ticket with window seat
Includes a reserved window seat and welcome drink on the observation deck. About €10 extra. Worth it at sunset – everyone wants the window.
Sphere restaurant
The restaurant rotates once every 30 minutes. Book weeks in advance. Prices mid-range, food is okay, the view is the real reason.
Honest tip: With overcast weather the trip up is barely worth it. A quick weather check in the morning can save you real money.
Berlin Welcome Card
The official tourist card of the state of Berlin. Combines public transport with discounts on over 180 attractions. Worth it from two days onwards and multiple museum visits.
Variants: 48 hours, 72 hours, 4/5/6 days – each in zone AB or ABC.
