The Siegessaule (or Victory Column) is a symbol of the city. It is now in the center of a round about. The base has a museum presenting the history of the column and of other German monuments. You can climb to the top and have amazing views of the city. There is no lift so be ready to climb quite a few stairs (probably more than 250 steps). The views are worthwhile and the cost for the museum and climb is low. The bottom of the column is decorated all around with golden mosaic scenes from the founding of the Germain empire.

Highly recommended for a full berlin tour. Walking under the tunnel to reach the monument is a part of the experience. Bullet holes can be seen all around the monument and the art pieces are breathtaking. Walking up the stairs is also a wonderful experience.

€3 is a fair price for some good views. The museum at the base is a bit tired but okay. Note the staircase up is narrow and not suited to infirm persons or the obese. Please note there are no toilets here. Do not use the public toilets across the way - they are an absolute disgrace, disgusting. Pay to use or have a drink at the corner cafe - their toilets are acceptable, sort of...

One of the most emblematic symbols of Berlin. There is a small museum in the inside presenting the story of this landmark and other landmarks in the world. It costs nearly 3 euro. You can go up stairs and have a nice view of this part of the city, worth the money and the time.

Better to go in summer when there are more green in the horizon. Or go there at night for a time lapse shot when the city is lit up. Admission 3 euro with a small exhibition of european historical buildings before going up the stairs.
