For the best views of Berlin

A great reference point for anybody getting lost, the Fernsehturm (Berlin TV Tower) does more than just beam signals across the world. Here, you can shoot up the lift to the sphere in the middle, where you'll find a revolving restaurant, bar and an observation deck offering the most spectacular views of the city. VIP tickets are available, which enable you to pick the precise day and time of your visit, without queueing, as well as guaranteeing you a seat in the restaurant when it suits you.

Although over 40 years old, the tower is a very futuristic piece of architecture. The Berliners are very proud of it, so expect to see its image in various souvenir forms like pens, tea towels, torches and even naughty keyrings.
