Munich Olympic Park : info and guided tour

Overview of Munich Olympic Park

Munich Olympic Park, located at Spiridon-Louis-Ring 21, stretches across the north of the city as a vast landscaped complex dedicated to leisure, events, and large gatherings. Created for the 1972 Summer Olympic Games, it is now one of Munich’s most iconic urban spaces.

The site is famous for its landscape architecture, defined by flowing forms, artificial hills, water features, and wide pedestrian paths that shape the whole area. Its skyline is dominated by the Olympic Stadium, the velodrome, the indoor arena, and the Olympiaturm, the tower that serves as a visual landmark across the district.

Designed as an open park, the site combines art, sport, and cultural uses in one setting. The lightweight, transparent roofs of several buildings, designed to blend into the landscape, are among its best-known features. The park also draws visitors for its open views, green spaces, and instantly recognizable atmosphere.

Beyond its sporting role, Munich Olympic Park has become a major public space used for concerts, exhibitions, and large-scale events. It remains an important witness to Munich’s urban planning in the 20th century and a place appreciated for understanding the relationship between contemporary architecture and landscape.
