Reasons to go

  • Built for the 1936 Berlin Olympics as an amphitheatre set into a wooded hillside near the Olympic Stadium

📖

Full description

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.

Reviews

My husband and I had fun and enjoyed this place for the Iron Maiden's concert. Our first time coming here and It was really a great show and the place was nice. It's good for concerts I can tell, just hoping that they could maybe put add more WC in this place. 😊
