Traveler reviews
Ke Gao
★★★★★a month agoImpeccable views of the city of Munich from the top of the tower. Definitely worth the ticket, time and energy to climb up. Stairs are narrow yet very sturdy.
Yash C
★★★★★5 months agoSpectacular view of the city from the 14th floor! I felt the stairs from the ground floor to the 1st floor are the narrowest, after that they get slightly wider (but still narrow). Not recommended if you are scared of heights or claustrophobic. Luckily it wasn't crowded the day I went. Even on a partially cloudy day the view was beautiful. Must be even better during clear skies.
