Munich

Olympiapark

Olympiapark was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics and remains one of the most impressive examples of modern landscape architecture in Europe. The park is famous for its revolutionary tent like roof structures that drape over the stadium, hall, and swimming pool. Set among rolling green hills and a peaceful central lake, the area offers a perfect combination of world class sporting facilities and relaxing nature. Visitors can explore the vast grounds which host concerts, festivals, and sporting events throughout the year. It is a place where history and recreation meet, providing a unique architectural contrast to the traditional old town of Munich.

Alles über Olympiapark

Was Sie erwartet

The park grounds are open 24 hours a day and are free to enter for everyone. However, specific attractions within the park have their own fees and opening hours. The Olympic Tower, standing at 290 meters, offers an observation deck with incredible views for around 13 euros. You can also tour the Olympic Stadium for a small fee or book a roof climb for a more adventurous experience. The Sea Life aquarium is also located on the site and requires a separate ticket. Most facilities are open daily from 9 am to 6 pm, though the Olympic Tower usually stays open until late in the evening, providing a great spot to see the city lights.

Warum diese Tour buchen

The park is very large and involves a lot of walking, so wearing comfortable shoes is highly recommended. Many areas are hilly, but the main paths are paved and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. If you plan to visit the Olympic Tower, try to go on a clear day to see the Bavarian Alps in the distance. Be aware that the park can become extremely busy during major concerts or football matches at the nearby stadium, which might affect access to certain areas. There are several kiosks and a rotating restaurant at the top of the tower, but many visitors choose to bring a picnic to enjoy on the grassy hills overlooking the lake.

Die richtige Tour auswählen

Olympiapark is located in the northern part of Munich and is very easy to reach by public transport. The most direct way is to take the U3 subway line and exit at the Olympiazentrum station. From the station, it is a short five minute walk to the heart of the park. If you are coming from Marienplatz, the subway journey takes about twelve minutes. You can also reach the park via tram lines 20 and 21, stopping at Leonrodplatz, or tram line 27 to Petuelring. For those driving, there is a large paid parking lot accessible from Sapporobogen. The park is also conveniently located right across from the BMW Museum and BMW Welt.

Wissenswertes vor der Abreise

The best time to visit is on a weekday morning when the atmosphere is peaceful and the queues for the Olympic Tower are shorter. If you enjoy photography, late afternoon offers beautiful lighting as the sun reflects off the glass roofs and the lake. During the summer, the park hosts many outdoor events and cinema nights, making it a lively evening destination. In the winter, the hills are popular for sledding and there is often a charming holiday market. If you want a quiet experience, avoid days when major concerts are scheduled at the Olympic Hall, as thousands of people will be moving through the main entrances and transport hubs.
