Olympic Park Munich

Olympic Park Munich

Introduction Olympic Park Munich is a large-scale complex of sports facilities that hosted the 20th Summer Olympics in 1972 and remains one of the best destinations for sports and recreation for the residents of Munich today.

The entire park comprises 33 sports venues, including the Olympic Stadium which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, a swimming pool for 9,000 people, and a multi-purpose arena with 14,000 seats. The Olympic Stadium has a partial roof consisting of a tent-like structure made up of several "fishing net" panels suspended by 50 masts. Some of these masts are over 80 meters tall. This canopy covers half of the stadium, spanning an area of 75,000 square meters — the largest roof in the world, equivalent in size to 10 soccer fields. The "fishing net tent" is semi-transparent and made entirely of artificial acrylic glass.

The most popular attraction is the 290-meter-high Olympic Tower, the tallest building in Munich. It features an observation deck and a revolving restaurant. Take the elevator to the top for panoramic views of Munich. On clear days, you can even see the beautiful peaks of the Alps.

In addition to hosting sporting events, the park also stages open-air cultural performances. Renowned artists such as the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, and Robbie Williams have all held concerts here.
