Can you go up the Victory Tower Berlin?

The Berlin Victory Column Visitors to the Victory Column can ascend its 285 steps to reach the viewing platform at the top. From here, outstanding views of surrounding Tiergarten can be enjoyed.



Yes, you can go up the Victory Column (Siegessäule) in Berlin. As of 2026, the monument remains a popular destination in the heart of the Tiergarten park. Visitors can climb a narrow, winding spiral staircase consisting of 285 steps to reach the circular observation platform located just beneath the golden statue of Victoria. There is no elevator, so the ascent requires a moderate level of physical fitness. Once at the top, you are rewarded with a stunning 360-degree panoramic view of Berlin’s cityscape, including a clear sightline down the Straße des 17. Juni toward the Brandenburg Gate. The entry fee is very affordable, typically around €4.00 for adults, and the column is generally open daily from 9:30 AM until sunset. To reach the monument safely, visitors must use one of the four underground pedestrian tunnels, as the column is located in the middle of a very busy roundabout known as the "Großer Stern."
