Olympiapark (Olympic Park)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon in spring and summer offer cooler temperatures and the best light for photos. Visit on weekdays to avoid the biggest event crowds.
Budget tips
Park grounds are free; expect a small fee for the Olympic Tower viewpoint and for some exhibitions, so skip paid attractions if on a tight budget. Bring a picnic and use the U-Bahn or S-Bahn to avoid parking costs.

About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: A sweeping canopy of translucent, tent-like roofs creates an otherworldly, wave-like skyline, and strolling beneath them feels like moving through a futuristic forest of light and shadow. Visitors catch rippling reflections on the lake, enjoy open-air concerts that can swell into the tens of thousands, and climb lookout platforms for vertigo-tinged panoramic views across city and hills.
Κύρια σημεία: Beneath the sweeping translucent roof sketched by Frei Otto and Günther Behnisch, the tensile canopy, originally built for the 1972 Summer Olympics, uses cable nets that make rain sound like a chorus of tiny drumbeats on the membrane. Each summer a quirky late-night tradition sees locals hauling deck chairs and portable radios up the hill to watch open-air concerts and film screenings under the lights, sometimes packing more than 3,000 people and swapping bratwurst for cold beer.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking the expansive lawn and hill paths.
- Head to the Olympiaberg or the Tower at sunset for the best panoramic photos.
- Avoid major concert or festival days if you want a peaceful stroll, check the event calendar in advance.
- Bring a light jacket, conditions under the tent roofs and near the lake can be breezy even on warm days.
