Start your journey in the troubled past of Potsdamer Platz, one of the most important and popular places in the world, with a ride on the fastest lift in Europe.

In just 20 seconds take the lift up to a height of 100 metres. From here you can enjoy breathtaking views of Berlin – no other vantage point provides a view of almost all structural and historical highlights of the German capital. The Brandenburg Gate, the Victory Column, and Bellevue Palace seem close enough to touch.

The multimedia open-air exhibition “Berliner Blicke auf den Potsdamer Platz” (Berlin views of Potsdamer Platz) lets you immerse yourself in the various transformations of this historical location: from a quiet green to the pulsing heart of a major city, from the height of luxury to the field of rubble, from no man’s land to the new centre of Berlin.

The glass-walled Panoramacafé takes you back to the 1920s and 1930s. Take a moment to think about the past as you enjoy a glass of Crémant. Depending on the time of day, the light breaks through the golden spires of the tower – the so-called “Crown of Berlin.” One floor above, on the 25th floor, you can admire the sunset over the West Berlin skyline from the stunning sun deck and enjoy the most beautiful sky over Berlin.
