This place it’s beautiful at night , that red light suits it!
Great place to take pictures if you didn't get any tickets to go inside.
Clean and super awesome awesome view
Iconic Berlin landmark. Feels futuristic despite opening in 1969. I visited at night and the atmosphere looking down over the city was really great. An adult ticket was 25€.
Wieder so eine unnötige Geldverschwendung!! Was fällt der Stadtverwaltung nur ein unsere Steuergelder so so zu verpulvern ?? Zuerst war diese Aussichtstonne "in der Au" gestanden, wo jetzt der rostige Steg steht. Dann wurde er hierher gebracht, neu aufgearbeitet, überholt und neu gestrichen (zuerst grün, jetzt gelb) Wieviel Personen sind in diese abgelegene Region gekommen und haben die Aussicht auf das Baugelände genossen ?? Dieses Geld hierfür hätte man dafür benutzen sollen, dass der Eintritt für die Parks günstigen werden. Aber nein, die Preise werden nach der BUGA nochmals erhöht! Danke lieb STADTVERWALTUNG
The gentleman running the front desk was fantastic. Let us go up a little late on our last night in Berlin. Definitely something to check out if you are in the area.
Definitely worth visiting the Main Tower if in Frankfurt - you can either do this during the day, or right before sunset to get some phenomenal skyline views of the city. Depending on the hour (of weekend), there could be a pretty long wait of up to 20min or so. Getting tickets beforehand didn't really change as you'd still end up in line to get to the counter.
Small but fine viewing platform, which offers in the direction of the southwest an excellent view and a successful photo motif on the entrance area of the castle, which you could otherwise only take in the ultra-wide angle directly in front of the castle gate. To the north is the view of the town of Schwangau and the Forggensee.
Tip: Also look down into the very nice gorge, which could be crossed even more easily in the past.

Awesome views & a good history explanation......
Great 360° views from the viewing platform. With hindsight, we'd have done this earlier in the trip to help get orientated. Some of the routes we'd taken to places were bizarre looking down on them 🤣.
If you have the Berlin Welcome Card, you get a discount on entry here.

Outstanding experience of sound,music reaches every corner of the heart!
A pice of art interior design! Amazing view on sunset!Only what I missed there was a dress code!

Good place to check out in Hamburg, this place will open a glimpse look to the city.
Went here for the observation deck. It was cheaper than I expected and there were some great views all around the 360° deck. We bought tickets in advance and avoided the long queue.
The cafe also has some lovely black forest cake and cinnamon buns.

You will get 360 view over Stuttgart from 150m height.
Be aware that with Thunderstorm they will lock the outside balcony.
Elevator is fast. There is a small restaurant on top to enjoy food or just grab a beer.

Very nice spot for observation ! It’s worth the 3€ you need to pay to enter. We just felt sorry to find that the bar was closed at 8pm while it’s the perfect time to have a drink watching the sunset.
The experience and the view was enjoyable, although there were some aspects worth mentioning: Not having made a reservation for the dining area allowed me a 30-minute window in the observatory. While I appreciated the experience, I did feel that the overall cost was a bit high considering what was offered. Nonetheless, the view from the observatory was impressive, and I found that going close to sunset time enhanced the experience, providing an opportunity for stunning pictures. I'd recommend considering the timing and weighing the cost against the experience.
Nice viewing platform. Intriguing architecture and great way to see the action in the harbor.
Free admission, and even if the lines are long, it moves quick. Less than 5 min wait.
Just the escalator is worth a trip already

Beautiful views of Hamburg and its ports. It's a nice place to go if you would like a birds eye view of Hamburg. It's free to go inside unless you want to cut the line then you can pay 3 Euros but that's completely unnecessary.
Toller Foto-Spot auf Elbphilharmonie
A little old style but symbolic tower in Berlin. They have a restaurant in the observatory and we really enjoyed our dinner while we overlooked the city (and it turns!). It’s not a super tall tower so we could make out of each building from the observatory and it was very interesting!
Frankfurt am Main top 1 place. The view is gorgeous. You can see not only the city, but also the surroundings, other small villages, the hills and even the airport.
For students 6, for adults 9 euros, which is really worth it, you can fall in love immediately in the view of the skyscrapers and in the height of the Maintower.
Try to go during the weekday and not in the evening, otherwise it could be a little bit crowded.

We paid for the 90 min guided tour (20 Euros). Although the building is stunning, it was pretty crowded and it was easy to lose the group. If you need to go to the toilet, forget about it: you will miss the explanation (long line to get into the bathroom) and you may be allowed to resume the tour with the group.
You need to get a ticket to go on the curved escalator but it’s for free. I liked this place and the view from the balcony. They have a souvenir shop with some nice gadgets. The surrounding area is pretty calm as well.
The castle definitely isn’t as pretty on the outside as on its inside.
Recommended to visit, the view of the city from above is a must to see. Tickets are a bit pricey but worth the visit. There is a nice restaurant as well in the tower. There’s a souvenir shop as usual, with some cool gifts. Overall a great experience!
My visit to the Berliner Fernsehturm was truly delightful! The entire experience was quite impressive. The elevator ride was a standout, reaching an exhilarating speed of 6 m/s, which gave a sense of excitement as we ascended. What made it even better was the fact that we got our tickets for just 19 euros each, courtesy of the Berlin Welcome ticket. This not only made it an affordable choice but also a fantastic value for the experience. The iconic tower offers breathtaking views and a unique perspective of the city. If you're in Berlin, a visit to the Fernsehturm is a must—it's an experience that captures the essence of the city's charm and beauty from above.
Hier zijn we langs gereden met het treintje vanuit Marveld. Leuke uitkijktoren waarbij we ook flamingo s hebben gezien.
Разочаровывает - вы можете услышать фламинго, но почти не видите их. Нет близкого доступа, так что берите с собой бинокль :)
It was nice experience, the ticket costed 10 euros for adults.
Starting from the Elevator which took 36 seconds to reach the top after crossing 150m.
At the Top you have 3 levels:
1. Restaurant where offers Breakfast, cold and hot drinks.
2. First open floor to have a look over all Stuttgart
3. Second open floor that you can reach by stairs and there you can take a nice photos
It is recommended to take with you foldable chair to set and relax in the nice sunny weather.

Nothing special, just a nice view to the surrounding area.
A must visit place in Hamburg, the view from this place is astounding. The entry to the first floor is free, the ticket counter is at the ground floor and it's quite quick to get a ticket. The place is very well maintained, the lighting and decor and the architect is very good.
If you have to visit only 1 place in Hamburg, this is the place.

A fabulous visit to the restaurant at the top of the tower. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was really exciting to enter with a great feeling both of going back in time to the 1970s and also visiting the future!
The views are amazing and the food was really good too. 90 minutes is plenty of time although we were allowed to stay longer as our table wasn’t booked by anyone else so we could squeeze in desert!
We all had a great time creating lots of happy memories together.

You can see from a high altitude the city, it was a good experience, the ticket price to go up is 10.50€.
I went mid-afternoon to see this sight and it did not disappoint. 54 floors up, the view of Frankfurt in 4 directions ( well, 3 1/2) is really stunning . It gave me an added push to explore in some new directions.
You can go till the half way of this Opera Building for Free. It is a very beautiful Building and you can also enjoy the top view of Hamburg and the sea side View. This is also a must visit place when you visit Hamburg. Getting tickets of Opera isn't that easy. That I think should be booked well in advance. Overall a top place to visit in Hamburg.
War mein erster Besuch auf einer Bundesgartenschau - alles sehr sehenswert. Für meinen Geschmack ein Ticken zu viel Kunst für eine Gartenschau. Highlight ist natürlich die Seilbahn über den Neckar
You can have a good view of Frankfurt. The deck was smaller compared to my previous experience at an observation deck in New York City. In my opinion, it was good, and considering the view, it was cheap. I only spent less than an hour there, and I really enjoyed it!
Incredible sight view , a must in Stuttgart :)
Also in winter it is incredible.
You pay like 10€ and you get to the top with someone of the stuff, that explains you everything about the turret. Then you have a coffee/restaurant and on top an awesome view of the city.

Guter Stop, um die Philharmonie zu fotografieren.
We went there at 10:00 am, because one day before at 04:00 pm, the row of people was to long.
After buying the ticket and a short check from the security guys, the elevator brings you very fast to the top. Amazing 360° view were you can see the big skyscrapers.
Bad is that the build a new one which is in front of the view to the old town (Römerberg).

One of the best views over the entire city in Frankfurt. Secure access and quick lift to the top floor followed by a short staircase up two more flights to get to the roof. Views stretch out as far as the airport and surrounding countryside around Frankfurt. This needs to be on your travel list.
Visiting the Stuttgart TV Tower was a quick, fun, and beautiful experience. The sleek design and impressive height of the tower immediately caught my attention. The elevator ride to the observation deck was swift, leading to a breathtaking panoramic view of Stuttgart. The cityscape, with its blend of modern and historical landmarks, was simply stunning. The vibrant colors and bustling streets added to the charm. I enjoyed learning about Stuttgart's history and culture through interactive displays. Time flew by as I explored different vantage points and captured memorable photos. Sharing the experience with friends made it even more enjoyable. Leaving the tower was bittersweet, but the memories will always remind me of this swift, exciting, and beautiful visit.
Absolutely loved it! Booked our tickets online for a timed visit, you can buy from a machine outside if you require. The ride to the top takes just 40 seconds... Luckily we visited on a clear warm day so the views over the city were spectacular. Lots of info around so you can pick what you're looking at. Also took advantage of the bar , they do some themed cocktails if interested. Shop and toilets on the ground floor.
217 meter tall TV tower. .!! A beauty standing between the forest cover in Stuttgart is a must see place. The place gives a nice view of the places around the city. . If possible also visit the restaurant on the top floor for a dine in clouds. . lastly don't forget to get your own tower mint on coin (good souvenir).
Wir waren morgens um 06.00 da. Die aufgehende Sonne verspricht dann gutes Fotolicht.
Schöner Blick über den Park
Es lohnt sich sehr die verschiedenen Aussichtstürme hoch zu steigen. Man wird mit interessanten Ausblicken belohnt. Aus der Vogelperspektive sieht alles ganz anders aus. Besonders haben mir die Aussichtplattformen mit vertikaler Begrünung gefallen.
Bei gutem Wetter sehr schöner Ausblick. Das Treppenhaus mit den Rolltreppen ist alleine schon sehenswert. Mit einem Kinderwagen (oder auch Rollstuhl) fährt man mit einem Aufzug hoch.
Not touristy but highly recommended for a visit
Die beste Burga. Für kinderwagen und Rollstuhl barrierefrei. Einfach rein spazieren, sie werden nicht enttäuschen
Need to queue for 15 minutes before entry. Great view of this busy and beautiful city. Recommend for more information and introduction about Frankfurt, as well as more facilities for the visitors. Today we cannot find the cafe and souvenir shop that are common inside other similar attractions in other cities
From here you will get nice view of the castle. Not only that there the view of river from the top. It is rally wonderful. Really great place to visit with family and kids. Kids will love it . Unfortunately I went on rainy day, but that was really anther experience of foggy view. You will Enjoy both sunny and rainy day
Super
Ein MUSS bei jedem Hamburg Besuch !
Decent place with good view of the whole city. Beauty of the view depends on the weather and clouds. Best place to look at the forest and city marriage and colliding roads to increase the beauty. A little costly for the view considering binoculars are additional costs. Well maintained and equipped with fast elevators. Overall, one time visit place for a good view!
This castle was built for King Ludwig II of Bavaria. it overlook the lake and has an amazing view of the surrounding. The castle is so huge and it take a while to complete the tour of the castle. One can either take the bus or the horse carriage up to the castle. Alternatively, one can also walk up to the castle on foot but that will be rather tiring as the slope can be quite steep. The journey could take 30 mins to an hours, depending on your ability. Also, please be reminded to purchase the entrance tickets to the castle well in advance to avoid any disappointment as there is a limit to the number of people who can visit.
Eine sehr schöner Ort um sparzieren zu gehen. Die Flamingos könnte man auch sehen aber am besten beim anderne Aussichtspunkt.
Great view. You see the complete panorama of Stuttgart. It has binocular and you can for 1eur use it for 5min. Only for kids( 5&7) was bit boring, it was windy, and "nothing" to do.
I didn't visit the Coffee shop above.

Die buga ist wunderschön und sehr weitläufig mit vielen standen und Unmengen an Blumen welche in zwei Teilbereichen vom Luisenpark zum neu angelegten buga Gelände mittels einer Seilbahn führen welche wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis verspricht und Recht flott ist. Dies sollte Menschen mit Höhenangst beachten ! Ebenfalls sollte das Ticket für die buga 23 lieber online gekauft werden da ansonsten an der Pforte ewig anstehen auf dem Programm steht. Das leider in meinem Fall leider sogar bei einer kurzen Schlange aber wohl sehr trägen Mitarbeitern an der Pforte. So war es mit Ausnahme des Eingangs ein tolles Erlebnis für die ganze Familie aber auch für Singles und Freunde 🌈💚🌺🪷🏵️🌻🪻🌱🌹🍀🪴🌵🍄🍁
You can go up to the observation deck for 9 EUR, which is affordable. The elevator will take you up fast, so be sure to pop your ears from time to time. There is room for aprox. 50 people up there, comfortably. It's a must, if you visit Frankfurt
The best viewpoint, more beautiful than the Swan Castle up close.
Über Sinn oder Unsinn der BUGA 23 lässt sich sicherlich streiten, aber im großen und ganzen ist der Aussichtsturm eine gute Idee , mit dem man den Baufortschritt beobachten kann.
Nur schade , das einige "vermeintliche Künstler" glauben, sich hierdrauf "verewigen" zu müssen.
Und noch eine neue Sitzgelegenheit in der Nähe 😉

Nice goodie. It's not a beautiful building, of course. But it allows (those who can climb stairs) to get a better view of the city's new boroughs that are being built. The tower holds some explanatory diagrams so one knows what one is looking at.
Best spot to take pictures of the Elbphilharmonie building.
Nice spot. I came here in early of 2020 (winter). Photos are not clear because of fog covering the valley
Very nice scenic spot located just near the Mahatma-Gandhi-Brücke. It provides beautiful views of the Elbphilharmonie.
A great observation deck in the Elbphilharmonie.
It's free but you need a ticket - you can get it in the hall of the Elbphilharmonie. You can get to the observation deck on the escalator which has very interesting and nice design.
The observation deck provides great views of HafenCity and the Elbe river port.

Nice view. Free to go up.
nice view, good to just go up and get a look, it is free
Really worth to go , to enjoy the nice views!
New sight in Hamburg. Nice architecture to see. Pricy restaurant and food. If you can get a concert ticket is a good idea to go.
Great castle. The drive in is magnificent. The bridge to see the castle from upfront is being renovated so we didn’t get to see that view. But still amazing.
A bit crowded, but for free, with free lockers and toilets. Amazing view
Royal Moyal
Erg mooi,net over degens bij Zwilock.Er is ook een flamingoroute om te fietsen,dus de moeite waard.
Landschaftlich sicher schön, aber eines muss einem klar sein: Um Flamingos oder andere Vögel zu sehen / beobachten benötigt man eine leistungsstarke Optik!
Disappointing - you can hear the flamingos, but barely see them. No close access, so bring the binoculars or watch National Geographic.
Eine Erhöhte Plattform, mit guter Aussicht auf die Elbphilharmonie. Von hier aus kann man auch Zufuß in die entgegengesetzte Richtung gehen und so dem Verkehr und den Fußgängerampeln ausweichen.
Ein wunderschöner Ort um einen ausgedehnten Spaziergang zu machen und als besonderen Höhepunkt kann man noch Flamingos 🦩 beobachten. Es wird einem an diesem Aussichtsturm nie langweilig, immer wieder gibt es irgendwelche Vögel zu beobachten, aber auch der Rundweg macht Spaß.
Beautiful architecture. A must visit place in Hamburg. Do take tickets downstairs it's for free (atleast for now) and go up with escalators. One of the coolest escalators I saw. Nice view of ships and jetty from the top. The top view of churches adds to the beautiful view from here. Have a coffee and enjoy the scenery.
PS:
The tickets to see concert hall are different.

Perfect place for the taking photos of Hafencity and Baakenhafen.
Toller Ausblick auf die Elbphilharmonie sowie der Elbe und der Mahatma-Ghandi-Klappbrücke.
Zudem befindet sich hier ein Zugang zu den Stegen der Speicherstadt.

Spectacular at night , and very beautiful view to the city .
A free 360 viewpoint in the harbour area, it also has some maps and descriptions of what to see in the specific directions. There are some benches in case you want to sir for a while.
One of leeser known Berlin attractions. The platform might not if windy. Restaurant is so an so... Kitchen didn't worked the day I was there. Views spectacular. Just on Messe premises.
Good space. Really good for fairs and bigger events. Always worth a visit as a trade visitor, or even as current public visitors.
If they are open and you happen to be in the hood, it’s worth the visit. There is something both futuristic and strangely dystopian about the whole thing. Offbeat cool is what Berlin does best, so you won’t be disappointed if that’s the goal all along.
Amazing arena venue. Great facilities and excellent technology exhibition
