Enjoy the spectacular views of Berlin while tasting top-notch food in the 207 meters high Sphere Restaurant.
In the early 1950s, the German Democratic Republic planned to build a new facility in Berlin intended primarily for the broadcast of GDR television programmes. Initially, a location in the Müggelberge hills was considered. Once outbuildings had been built there, the Ministry of the Interior realised that the broadcasting station would lie in the approach path of the planned Schönefeld Airport.
In the 1960s, the GDR government arranged to have the TV Tower built at its current location, with the aim of demonstrating the strength and efficiency of the socialist system in mind.
Today the Tower defines the silhouette of Germany’s capital city – a symbol of the reunified Germany, just like the Brandenburg Gate.
The Berlin TV Tower (BERLINER FERNSEHTURM) is one of Berlin’s best-known landmarks, towering at 368 meters, it always points the way to the center of the city. But the view of the TV Tower is by no means as spectacular, as what you can expect from above. Nowhere else in Germany are you offered such a grandiose view over a city. A MUST for every visitor to Berlin!
In just 40 seconds, our high-speed elevators will take you to the top of the observation deck at 203m, with Berlin’s highest bar, the Bar 203.

The unique and historical “Sphere“ restaurant is only 21 steps above the Observation deck. Here, guests will be spoiled with regional and seasonal cuisine in addition to an unforgettable view.
