Riding the subway was therefore completely uncomplicated. It's a pity that not all companies take part, e g New Museum. Unfortunately they have their own system.

The deliberate use of buses and suburban trains (for sightseeing above ground) was very good for our requirements and needs. Clean buses, problem-free suburban trains, punctuality and no unpleasant incidents made the trips a good experience.

Super easy to book! The staff very friendly! After the short thunderstorm the view was super nice! The discounts you get for the second and subsequent visits should have a longer validity, unfortunately we are not in Berlin that often! Our family from Canada and we really enjoyed the view!

We visited the restaurant at the Berlin TV Tower and had a wonderful experience. It’s a highly recommended activity for all ages – we went as a family, and everyone really enjoyed it. We were seated exactly at the time of our reservation, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience with delicious food and an incredible view. Definitely worth a visit!
