    Great spot! The view is amazing and the fastest elevator in Europe is so much fun! Bring a nice camera and a group as you will enjoy taking group pictures. The cafe there is also nice. There is a bathroom at the top. You can get binoculars and they did rent us one for free in exchange for an ID. It is a fair price for the whole experience. Also given that it is not crowded, it's a better alternative to the TV tower. Highly recommended.

    Such a great place! You go up on the fastest elevator in Europe, a very fun experience. The views are incredible and it’s not crowded at all. The info panels are very interesting and you can learn quite a lot about the city’s history. Highly recommended!

    this is a beautiful place on cloud 9 in Berlin. you feel like a bird that can't fly because you have to take the fastest elevator in Europe to get there. you have a great view with prison effect - behind the bars freedom looks limitless.

    Toller Rundumblick von den zwei Plattformen. Nur das riesige DB Gebäude verstellt etwas Sicht aber nicht dramatisch. Nach oben geht's für 9€ pro Person, mit dem schnellsten Aufzug Europas. Das Panoramacafe ist einen Besuch wert da gemütlich und Top Aussicht.

    Hier fährt man mit dem schnellsten Aufzug Europas. Auf den 24. Stock. Und von da aus wäre die Aussicht super, wenn das Wetter mitmacht. Ansonsten würde ich es bei Nebel nicht empfehlen.

    Der schnellste Aufzug Europas, der schönste Blick über Berlin. Sehr sehenswert ist die Geschichte des Potsdamer Platzes mit dem Mauerbau. Anhand von Fotos wird der geschichtliche Hintergrund erklärt. Es gibt zwei Plattformen und bei guter Sicht hatten wir einen wunderbaren Blick. Es gibt sogar ein kleines Panoramacafe. Eintritt ist gerechtfertigt.

    We went To this view point with our grandparents , it’s a nice view to see form up top, You can experience one of the speediest elevators in the world which was quite interesting for our grandparents. The view from the top is stunning, paid toilets are available to use which are decently clean. You can go there if you’d like to visit for fun, and have some chill time. The cafe is just okay, nothing great about it tough

    Panoramapunkt Berlin in the Kollhoff Tower. A spontaneous visit while the moodiest storm (Ylenia) of February 2022 is raging in Berlin. From here you have a super nice view around the capital. The lift (the fastest in Europe) takes you to the platform in seconds. Once you reach the top, you are greeted by the red Buddy Bear. On the boards you can read a lot of good information. The view is absolutely gorgeous, no matter what the weather is like. The staff are all very friendly and let you take photos in a relaxed way, even just before closing time. Here are some impressions from my perspective.

    Amazing experience at the Kollhof Tower ( Potsdamer Platz). The tower proudly boosts the fastest elevator in Europe, scaling the peak at 8.5 meters per second. The panaramic point is at two level deck on top of the tower. You can purchase tickets in the counter on the ground floor. A guide will assist in the elevator and you can spend as much time as you wish for in the viewpoint. The two levels are accessible up & down via staircase. The city line view of Berlin is breathtaking to say the least! Must visit to experience the ultra modern side of Berlin.

    The majority of panoramas in Berlin require you to use stairs. Why not travel on Europe's fastest elevator at 30km/second with 0-24 floor in 20 seconds! There is a cafe at the top and it gets very windy but gives you great views of Berlin. Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Hmm, with 7€ I think is a reasonable price for the view from above and experience the fastest elevator in Europe. Not much of an impression though because I was in Taipei 101, the 2nd fastest elevator in the world. The view at the top is not very impressive to me, because the barrier is quite high and surrounded by tall buildings. The only interesting thing is the location of the building, which intersects with the old Berlin wall boundary, they also have historical information on display along with a part of the old Berlin wall located here. Another part, when I arrived, there was no toilet to serve guests, even though I drank coffee here. (Original) Hmm, với 7€ tôi nghĩ là một cái giá hợp lí cho việc ngắm cảnh từ trên cao và trải nghiệm chiếc thang máy nhanh nhất châu Âu. Tuy không có ấn tượng gì nhiều vì tôi đã ở Taipei 101, thang máy nhanh thứ 2 thế giới. View trên đỉnh thì không có điểm nhấn lắm với tôi, do rào chắn khá là cao và xung quanh là các nhà cao tầng. Điều thú vị duy nhất là vị trí của toà nhà, giao thoa ranh giới bức tường Berlin cũ, họ cũng có những thông tin lịch sử trưng bày cùng với một phần bức tường Bẻlin cũ đc đặt tại đây. Một phần nữa, khi tôi đến, không có nhà wc phục vụ khách, dù tôi đã ngồi uống cf tại đây.

    Want to see Berlin from above? Forget about the TV Tower, and come here instead. This building is located in Potsdamer Platz, so exactly in the middle of Berlin, where on a good weather day, you can observe all the city from above. What's also special about this building, is that it has the fastest elevator in Europe. The observatory deck is on the 24th floor, and it takes the elevator only 20 seconds to reach the top, which is an experience in itself. I was lucky to purchase the ticket at half the price during an event. Totally worth it if you want the best view of the city from above

    It was a wonderful experience to visit Panorama Point. A gentle man in the lift told us that it was the fastest lift in Europe which took us to the 24th floor in just 30 seconds. When we reached up we could see the view of the entire Berlin from there. The only disappointment was that there were grills all over instead of glass which could have given a much better look. There was a restaurant on the top where we enjoyed cheese cake and drinks. Overall it was an excellent trip.

    The platform is not super hight only 100m and there is a big fence so the view is OK. The entrance fee for students was 9€ which is okay but still very expensive cause the view was not crazy. However, they have a Café up there which I would totally recommend :)

    Mit dem Fernsehturm zusammen einer der besten Aussichtspunkte über Berlin! Auf jeden Fall lohnenswert, alleine schon wegen der Fahrstuhlfahrt mit dem schnellsten Aufzug Europas. Mit der WelcomeCard sogar noch günstiger als üblich, preislich für den Ausblick vollkommen okay. Super zu erreichen.

    I loved my experience there at the Panoramapunk. You can have amazing views of Berlin. It isn't Crowded like the TV Tower and it's way cheaper, only 9€. And the elevator is super fast too. ,(Fastest in Europe they claim) Definitely worth it

    Great view over parts of the city centre of Berlin. Price with 9€ for adults quite high for the ascent. The Deal includes therefore two platforms.

    Fair ticket price, fastest elevator in Europe and cool view of the city. If you have a good camera with you, you'll be able to take great photos. The grid wall makes it a bit annoying to take a selfie with the view behind you though.

  • 3/5 Eliane C. 1 year ago on Google
    The visit is too expensive (9€) for what it offers, great views but only through bars and the visit was quick (less than an hour if you read all the panels). A bit disappointed by the experience. However the elevator is advertised as the fastest in Europe and I must admit it is impressive how fast we reach the rooftop.

  • 4/5 Iuri M. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful view of whole Berlin! There are many informative posters and pictures about German history. Make sure to enjoy a drink or snack looking over the city! The downside is the price: 7,50 euros just to climb to the top. Side note: what a fast elevator!!

  • 5/5 Waresul M. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow! The city viewing experience from the top floor was fantastic. You can see 360• panoramic view from the 25th floor. Whole balcony is covered by 10foot high fence. You’ve chance to enjoy reduced price entry ticket if you are a student. The elevator reaches you to the zenith within 20secs. That was more exiting for me 🙆‍♂️ Take note: Food price is comparatively high in the top floor restaurant.

    It is free for Ukrainians refugees (we visited april 2022). Perfect view from the top of the brick building at Potsdamer platz. Also there is the super quick lift that takes you to the top. Nice view, atmosphera and pictures👍

    We are the family of refugees from Ukraine and it was very unpleasant to find out yesterday that we must pay 17.50 to visit, for mother and two children. It was free just recently ! We went away. Good luck !

  • 5/5 Karol G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place! The view is amazing and it’s the house of the fastest lift in Europe! It took 15 seconds to go from the first floor to the 24th! There’s a lot of history in that building and you can learn about it on the inside 😊 It’s a great place to take pictures and you can see a lot of places from the city!! There’s a cafeteria and a bathroom too, the bathroom is very clean if you need to go there. It is a fair price for the whole experience. Which was around 7’50€, 6€ if you’re a student. it is also not too crowded, since I don’t think a lot of tourists know about it and everyone else goes to the tv tower. Highly recommended.

    You are taken with an elevator with a great speed to the top, more than 20 floors and there you can enjoy a great view of Berlin. I had some head aches especially when we went down because if the speed. But it's really worth it.

  • 4/5 Jake L. 2 months ago on Google • 354 reviews New
    There are 3 distinct parts of Panorampunkt: The mini-museum, the viewpoint, and the cafe. They are accessed via the fastest elevator in Europe(!), with a friendly guide operating it as it zooms up the floors in mere seconds, making your ears pop. First, the outside mini-museum (which also has views). There is lots of well written information about the history of Berlin, specifically Potsdamer Platz. This provides plenty of information about the stages it has gone through, why it looks the way it does, and major events that have taken place. It's worth reading every board, as they provide a comprehensive overview. Next, the viewpoint. Whilst you do have excellent view from the mini-museum layer, going upstairs to the viewpoint lets you walk in a loop around all 3 sides of the building. This provides plenty of excellent views wherever you look, especially if you stand in a corner of the triangle! Finally, the cafe. This is unfortunately the weakest point in our experience. It seems a little confused about whether it is a cafe for tourists (due to the location), or is an upscale restaurant (table service only). This confusion is reinforced by only accepting cash, and not warning customers until AFTER they have eaten! The menu is quite limited, with only a few items of food available, and some of those are actually out of stock. Staff in the cafe were friendly enough, but it can be hard to get their attention if seated at one of the higher tables with the best views. Overall I'd definitely recommend visiting the mini-museum and viewpoint, and maybe a small snack at the cafe if you remember to carry cash in 2023!

    Wer keine Höhenängste überwinden muss, hat einen gigantischen Panoramablick über ganz Berlin und dies zu einem moderaten Preis. Der Fahrstuhl führt direkt in die 25. Etage. Zu Fuss kann noch eine weitere Etage erklommen werden. Das Ticket kann direkt vor Ort oder online erworben werden und ist an kein Zeitlimit begrenzt. Ein Cafe ist oben angegliedert, aber stark frequentiert. Eine öffentliche Toilette steht ebenfalls zur Verfügung.

    A really nice place to clear your mind. The time i visited there wasn't too much people, so i could relax a lot. The people here are very nice, they tell you about the elevator you get in, which is the fastest in Europe. 24 floors in a couple of seconds. On top, there is a Cafe, which has, of course, an amazing view. Will be visiting soon. Loved the view, unfortunately they close before the sun goes down, so no sunsets pictures for the moment. Overall the place is great!

    I Like to come here special with my friends who don't live in Berlin. Service is always nice, actually brilliant. Very nice view. Nice cakes in the bar and very polite waiters. I can only recommend it.

    The view is pretty amazing, only slightly undercut by the adjacent building blocking the park a little. The panorama cafe is pretty standard for cafes in tourist attractions. Mediocre coffee, high prices

  • 1/5 Chris R. 2 years ago on Google
    Underwhelming, not worth the money even though it is cheaper than the tv tower. Bought the “skip the line” ticket. There was no separate line so everyone thought we were jumping in front of them even after the ticket guy said that we should. Takes about 5-10 min to see everything. Then there’s a line to get on the elevator down. Apparat my fatsest elevator in Europe although there is not “experience” in the 8 second ride (or whatever it is). Boring.

    View was outstanding of course but, as you may have guessed, the food and drink was hugely marked up.

  • 5/5 diana m. 3 years ago on Google
    From the terrace at the top there is a beautiful view of the whole city. There are many information tables explaining the history of the walls. A very fast elevator leads to the top. There is also a café at the top. The entrance fee is totally ok. I recommend a visit if you are nearby.

  • 5/5 Leah F. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed a cup of coffee and cherry tart with the amazing view. Very pleasantly surprised and prices very reasonable too considering it is at the observation tower.

    Great feeling when the elevator goes up in short time. On top of the building you have a great 360 degree view.
