Olympiapark

Olympiapark is Munich’s landmark sports and recreation complex, built for the 1972 Summer Games. Its sweeping tensile roofs, conceived by architect Günther Behnisch and engineer Frei Otto, remain a striking example of modern design. Visitors can tour the Olympic Stadium, ascend the Olympiaturm for city and Alpine views, or stroll around the lake and landscaped hills created from wartime rubble. The park hosts concerts, seasonal festivals, and sports events, and offers activities like roof walks, zip lines, and ice skating in winter. Easy to reach from the city center, it suits architecture fans, families, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
