Hello all, well I am back from Berlin. I had a great time and was able to see a great deal. I will post a few pictures tonight and some more over the next few days. I hope you enjoy them. This photo is of the Berlin Television Tower. You can actually take an elevator ride up to the silver ball. Once up there you have a 360 degree view of Berlin.
Pretty fancy tower! Is there a restaurant up there?
ReplyDeleteThe Television Tower (TV tower, Fernsehturm) is Berlin's tallest and most prominent structure, visible from many parts of the city.
ReplyDeleteConstructed between 1965 and 1969 in the former East Berlin, the Television Tower is 368 metres tall, making it Europe's second tallest strucure (only Moscow's Ostankino Tower with 540 metres is taller). The tower was renovated in 2001 but has retained its original character, including an interior design which is very "Sixties sci-fi" - in some areas you wouldn't be surprised to see the crew of Star Trek pass by.
Facilities
Two floors are accessible to the general public: a viewing platform / observation deck at 203 metres, and a revolving restaurant / cafe at 207 metres.
Tip: dine in the restaurant on a clear evening: you have a fantastic view over nighttime Berlin.
The Television Tower can also be rented for wedding ceremonies.
