Waldbühne

★ 4.6 (13,308)$$ · Mid-range

Waldbühne is a large open-air amphitheatre built for the 1936 Olympics and set into a wooded hillside near Berlin's Olympic Stadium, now one of the city's premier outdoor concert venues. It regularly hosts major international acts, from classical pianists to arena rock bands, and its very high must-see and aesthetic scores reflect both its striking setting and its draw as a bucket-list summer concert destination. Reviewers rave about the atmosphere, though bench-style seating and limited shelter mean comfort depends on the weather and how early you claim a spot. It rewards concertgoers willing to trade some creature comforts for a memorable open-air night.

What people say

"We were here for a lang lang concert,where he didn’t disappoint,but there are a few things that weren’t so great for example: There is very little sitting place (it is very tight) and it took a long time to exit. P.S do not use the bag storage rooms since they charge extra 5€ and at the end there is a huge line,so make sure you bring the right size of bags with you.Also they tend to trick you and tell you your bag is to small so…"
