The 10 best places for a great view over Berlin
Even without high mountains, Berlin has a surprising number of ways to enjoy the city from above. The Berlin TV tower at Alexanderplatz reaches higher, at 368 metres, than any other structure in Germany, the Panoramapunkt in the Kollhoff Tower at Potsdamer Platz reaches its viewing level with the fastest lift in Europe, and from the Teufelsberg in the Grunewald the gaze sweeps to the far end of the city. If you prefer something more airborne, you can climb into the Weltballon, and from the Siegessaeule the gilded Victoria greets you over the Tiergarten. The flak tower in the Humboldthain and the national monument on the Kreuzberg also offer wide panoramas. From which of these viewpoints would you like to survey Berlin first?

I like to climb up high when I want to understand a city. While researching this list, I saw Berlin from ever new heights, from the TV tower to the enchanted Teufelsberg. The view from the flak tower in the Humboldthain surprised me the most. I am showing you ten places where the climb is truly worth it. Be sure to pack your camera.

Berlin's Weltballon is among the world's biggest helium-filled balloons. The sensation of floating in mid-air is however just an illusion: the balloon is secured to the ground with a strong steel cable. During the rise, the pilot will answer all your questions about the sights of Berlin.

The Siegessäule (Victory Column) is one of Berlin's most well-known landmarks. If you want to be close to the gilded statue of Viktoria, Goddess of Victory (affectionately nicknamed "Goldelse" by the locals) you have to be sure your feet will carry you up the spiral staircase.

Grunewald's Teufelsberg is with its 120 m Berlin's highest hill and offers a fabulous view to the other end of the city with the right weather conditions. Additionally, an abandoned listening post adds a spooky element to the place.
