Olympiastadion Berlin

★ 4.6 (44,789)$$ · Mid-range

Olympiastadion Berlin was built for the 1936 Summer Olympics and remains one of the most historically resonant sports venues in the world, its limestone facade and colonnaded structure still largely intact. Today it hosts both major football matches and large-scale concerts, and reviewers consistently describe the atmosphere as feeling simultaneously massive and intimate. Its near-perfect must-see and culture scores reflect its status as an essential Berlin landmark, not just a sports venue. Tens of thousands of reviews attest to its enduring pull for both history-minded visitors and concertgoers.

What people say

"First concert outside of the UK and so much better than I expected. No hassles with travel, plenty of food and drink options reasonably priced, great view's and sound and no treks around shopping complex (London Stadium) or cattle herding (Wembley) at the end. 100% recommend a concert here and your transport to/from event on the U/S Bahn is included from noon to 1 am - take note TFL !"
