Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016It's a beautiful monument best seen during a clear day. The gold statue against a blue backdrop is remarkable. Tip: don't try to cross the road from above, there are underground passes from all sides.

MatthiasJuly 10, 2017It took me ages before I finally went up the victory column. I recommend to do it when it's clear so you get the most out of that view. The replicates of the European sights are a nice feature as well

Francisco CanoAugust 13, 2014If you want to enjoy some scenic views and great photo opportunities come here! You have to pay a small fee and climb 285 steps, but it's worth it once you get to the top.Upvote9Downvote

Stefan CrisanMay 25, 2022One of my favorite monument from Berlin. The Column of Victory is amazing. You can arrive at the columns through the tunnels who are situated by the both sides of the street 17 June.UpvoteDownvote
Wijaya يجاياAugust 9, 2014When you around try to go up! Be careful due to the stiffness of the stairs you might feeling dizzy, once you at the top you got like 360 degrees of BerlinUpvote1Downvote
Jose CaballeroJuly 25, 2022Catch your breath, climb up, and then do the air-conditioned exhibit after you come back down.

Climb the stairs to the top. Look up. Acknowledge how freaking huge she really is. Go back down. Look up again. Marvel at how tall that tower really is because now she looks teeny tiny.Upvote6Downvote- Frau Coco LoresAugust 6, 2015It's a landmark of home for me as an original "Berliner Göre"! And always a little bit of Love Parade, if you walk or drive by😉

I was wondered when I read that the Column ist moved from another place to here. It has about 280 stairs but worth it to go up.

Robert ReizMay 19, 2013Great place at a sunny day. Specially for tourists ;-) but don't block the street for bikers. They can get angry!
