Panoramacafè — Restaurant in Berlin

Nice spot to see the entire Berlin from above! The lift is the fastest one in Germany and takes you to the 25th floor literally in a blink! There at the 25th you can have a walk outside or enjoy a glass of Sekt (german name for Prosecco or champagne) at the café where by the way staff is real friendly and sweet! Views are just impressive and it’s a fair way to spend about an hour in between the 25th floor and the very rooftop to see all the city in your feet. There is something that surprised me and didn’t expect, sorry to spoil, but they even have up there a piece of the famous Berlin Wall and history panels to understand the city and union of the country a bit better together with the beautiful views. Café closes at 7pm in summer but still after that you can enjoy the views til 8 in the terraces around and above. Sunset time was my choice and there’s the pics to show how...

Coldest service I have ever had in Germany.

Fantastic views but no rating on the food as we were never served! We went when the cafe was empty around lunch time. We waited at the counter to order but the staff ignored us. After 10 minutes, one of them acknowledged our existence by saying "Sit", so we did. Then, we waited for 20 minutes at a table but the two staff ignored us completely again! Not even a glance or any warm gesture.

We left after this, very confused and disappointed. Whilst leaving, another group entered and the staff greeted them immediately. This leads me to believe the staff did not like us for some reason. Were we not fancy looking enough? Was it because we did not speak German? Were the staff racist? I...

Located in Potasdamer Platz, on top of the Kollhoff-Tower (the brown skyscraper), Panoramapunkt is a valid and cheaper alternative to the Tv Tower in Alexanderplatz.

The structure is divided in 2 floors, the sky bar, a very classy (quite pricey) indoor coffee place where one can relax and enjoy the beautiful view over Berlin and the upper terrace, which is at the very top of the high rise building, at an altitude of ca. 100 meters. The wind can be quite strong, so I recommend carrying a little jacket, even during warm days.

A super fast (one of the fastest in Europe apparently) elevator will take you there and the entrance fee is, as far as I remember, something between 6-10€.

A nice experience in the...
