Best timeFirst slot of the day. The tower opens at 9 am from March to October and 10 am from November to February.
Verdict by age
Not a general rating. How each age band actually experiences it.
Worth it once with children over five on a clear day. With a toddler you will spend the visit holding them up to the glass. With a baby it is doable in a carrier but there is little point.
Two things to know before you book. Strollers cannot go up and are left free of charge at the cloakroom, so bring a carrier for a baby. And the tower is not accessible: anyone who cannot move without help is refused entry, because the emergency route is about 900 steps. Tickets are tied to a time slot with 15 minutes of grace.
Tips for the visit
- Backpacks larger than 45 x 35 x 20 cm are not allowed and there is no luggage storage.
- You can rebook online up to 10 minutes before your slot. Refunds are not given.
- Student and Berlin Welcome Card discounts are only given at the box office.
- Check the forecast first. On a cloudy day you are paying to stand in fog.
