Der Fernsehturm ~ telecom tower

The Telecome tower is right in the center of Berlin at Alexander platz and one of the most known characters of Germany's capital city.

As an University-reunion I met up with my old London College of Communication class-mate Rodrigo from Brazil/Sao Paulo.

I ordered a ticket one day before online

Cost: 17€ premium fast line to skip the line one it comes to the elevator.

(hand in your coat at the cloackroom at the entrance so you can visit the restaurant as well)

The elevator tool only a few seconds to get up there. It went so fast you could feel it on your years as they "pop".

At the top you will find a glass-fromt and you get to walk around in a circle. There's also a bar with cocktails to enjoy.

I booled our ticket for 15.30 in advance so we could see the sunset at 16.15. A bit

of both, day and night even you're suppose to stay up there as long as you'd like.

Stunning view of all the sights and districts of Berlin! 

Even we didn't have a reservation, Rodrigo and I decided to have late lunch at the tower-restaurant as we had a look at the menu downstairs. 

I really recomment to book a table in advance, which is easy and free online.

However, one floor up you find the nice "spinning" restaurant with an even better view.
