Munich Olympic Stadium — Attraction in Munich

The Munich Olympic Stadium, known as Olympiastadion, is a masterpiece of modern architecture and a historical landmark. Designed for the 1972 Summer Olympics, its sweeping, tent-like acrylic glass canopy, conceived by Frei Otto, symbolizes a new, open, and democratic Germany. The stadium's innovative design and engineering make it an architectural marvel, blending seamlessly into the surrounding Olympiapark.

With an initial capacity of around 80,000, reduced to 69,000 post-renovations, the Olympiastadion has hosted numerous iconic events, including the 1974 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1988. Despite the shift of major football matches to the Allianz Arena, the stadium continues to thrive as a venue for concerts, cultural events, and recreational activities.

The Olympiastadion is more than just a sports venue; it’s a cultural hub. Its location in Olympiapark makes it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, offering scenic views from the Olympic Tower and numerous activities within the park. The stadium’s design and historical significance make it a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts and sports fans.

Stadium itself is fine. Impressive structure and good atmosphere. But navigating it at crowded events is a nightmare. Just a few more (correct) signs directing people would be nice. Coming out from a concert here is confusing as you have no idea where you are in relation to the U-Bahn stations. We ended up walking around the stadium, climbing an embankment and then over a fence, just so we could get to somewhere we recognised. The fact that we weren't the only ones doing this says it all! We eventually found a route by following the crowds, but were asked several times by others if they were going the right way to which I could only reply, 'I hope so.' Getting into the stadium's not much better as the organisers set their own systems up which run contrary to the signs around the ground. We had a ticket for V Block, so followed the signs to V Block as logic would suggest. However, we ran into a wall of security staff who just told us to ignore the signs, turned us around and sent us the other longer way around the stadium through crowds of people coming the other way, probably going to U Block or somewhere similarly ridiculous. We've been here several times and still can't get our heads around the...

Perfect open air concert stadium. When ordering a beer go straight for the 'Mass Bier'. It's 1ltr but it's especially worth it when the queue is 20 minutes long. My attached picture is from my 2nd Depeche Mode concert but so many bands have played here (i.e. I've seen Robbie Williams, ACDC, Metallica, Bon Jovi, The Pretenders, etc). If a band can fill this stadium then they've made it. If you're made of sugar candy and want cover from the rain make sure you book the west side. It has a roof. The other sides are open to the skies (the way it should be). Public transport is available but returning home can get full (70,000 fans leaving all at once). The transport system can cope very well. You will soon be on your way. Car parking is available but I would strongly recommend taking the public transport instead. There are limited spaces and the queues to get home are horrendous. Some concert tickets have public transport included in the price. Look for the 'MVV' text somewhere on the ticket.

Queues to get in are not that bad. From the underground, you have a slowish 20 minute walk to the stadium with...
