📖

Full description

Built in 1969 by the East German government partly as a statement of socialist technological achievement, the 368-meter TV Tower remains the tallest structure in Germany and, thanks to its 203-meter observation deck, the single best place to get your bearings over Berlin's sprawling, low-rise layout. On sunny days the steel sphere below the antenna famously catches the light in a cross pattern, an effect West Berliners nicknamed the 'Pope's Revenge' against the officially atheist East German state.

With a near-maximum 96 must-see score, it's one of the most recognizable symbols of the city and a natural early stop for orientation. Early-evening slots are popular for catching the skyline as the sun sets over the rooftops.
