Olympiapark Munich
Olympiapark
The site of the 1972 Olympics, with a stadium under a translucent tent-style roof, a 291-meter Olympic Tower and artificial hills forming a city leisure park.
Olympiapark was built for the 1972 Munich Olympics. Its large tent-style acrylic roof, designed by architects Behnisch and Frei Otto, is a classic of modern architecture. You can ride up the 291-meter Olympic Tower, whose 190-meter observation deck offers views over the city and, on clear days, the Alps (about 13 euros). You can also take a stadium roof climbing tour, or stroll by Olympic Lake and up Olympic Hill to watch the sunset. In summer there are often concerts and open-air cinema screenings. It sits across the road from BMW Welt; get off at Olympia-Zentrum station on the U3 line.
Opening hours
Park open all day; Olympic Tower approx. 09:00–23:00
