Peak season vs low season
- Summer (June to August) in Berlin offers warm temperatures, long days, and clear views from the Berlin TV Tower. However, this is also the peak season, which means larger crowds and longer waiting times.
- The ideal time to visit Berlin TV Tower is during the off-peak season months of March to May, September, and October (autumn). Temperatures are cooler, the visitor numbers are lower, and the spring and autumn scenery is beautiful. But there are chances of rain, which might impact the views from the observation deck.
- Berlin sees fewer crowds during the winter months (November to February), making it a good time to visit. But snow and variable weather conditions can mean low visibility.

Visiting the Berlin TV Tower is more than ticking a landmark off your list. It’s an invitation to see the city from an entirely new perspective. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours to soak in the views, linger over the atmosphere, and truly experience Berlin from above.
Observation deck
- Duration: Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Highlights: With floor-to-ceiling windows offering 360° panoramic views, you’ll want time to slowly circle the deck, spot iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag, and capture photos from every angle.
Pro-tip: If you visit at sunset or after dark, give yourself a little longer; the changing light makes the city feel completely different.
Sphere restaurant
- Duration: 60 to 90 minutes, depending on dining preferences.
- Highlights: In 60 minutes, the restaurant completes a full rotation, giving you a moving panorama of Berlin that sweeps past the Spree River. It’s a chance to pair city views with fine dining or cocktails, and a relaxed lunch or dinner could easily stretch to 90 minutes without feeling rushed.
- Cuisine: Curated by Michelin-starred chef Tim Raue, the menu includes vegan breakfast options as well as seasonal dishes with vegetarian and vegan options and 3- and 4-course menus with an assortment of drinks.
- Reservation: We recommend booking your tickets in advance, as tables are limited.
VR experience (Berlin's Odyssey)
- Duration: 12 to 15 minutes.
- Experience: A virtual reality journey through 900 years of Berlin's history, offering insights into the city's evolution.
- Availability: Included with the Premium and Premium Deluxe ticket upgrade to standard entry tickets to the Berlin TV tower. This ticket provides access to both the observation deck and the VR experience.
