It is the first thing you must do when you arrive in Berlin. The best guide. Very convenient. Worth of money.

Excelente atração para quem tem pouco tempo e precisa de visão global para escolhas particulares.

One of the best activities in Berlin. Got to see a view of the city not possible via other means.
