There is a restaurant within the tower at 207.53 metres that offers a fantastic
view of Berlin. I found the tower a really nice place to visit and get a nice dinner at the restaurant which incidentally rotates every 30 minutes.
If you stay at a good hotel, the hotel concierge should be able to get you a reservation for dinner at the restaurant along with a preferred entry where you don’t have to wait in a line.
The preferred entry ticket costs about 22 Euros per person.  I think its worth it as you can spend some time at the observatory and the restaurant and avoid the lines.
Without a reservation, there is little chance of getting to eat at the restaurant although you could get a few drinks at the bar at the observatory.
The Alexaderplatz area which is right next to the tower is a nice place to sit around watching people.

But the food at the restaurant is really good and worth checking out.

The Alexaderplatz area which is right next to the tower is a nice place to sit around watching people and you should also check out the Neptune fountain that’s close by while you visit the Fernsehturm.

These people were amateurs who were allowed to take pictures of almost anything around the town. The result of this marketing experiment is the Nikon Picturetown website. This experiment proves that the D40 is quite a capable camera that can produce quality photos even with new users. I am sure not every picture that came out of these cameras made it to this website but if one is inclined to put in the time into any capable camera such as the D40 (an subsequent models), one can get many great results. The website is a real pleasure to explore even if you are not into photography plus a great example of using innovative marketing techniques to deliver more out of the advertising budget.
