It's also a popular spot for those wanting to experience the unique architectural design and the vibrant atmosphere of the surrounding Olympic Park.
What happens here
Diverse Events – Today, the stadium hosts a wide array of events. I see it's a venue for major concerts by international artists, various sports competitions, and large-scale cultural gatherings. Some parts of the stadium and the surrounding park are also accessible for general visitors to explore.
What to expect
Lively Atmosphere – When an event is on, expect a lively and energetic crowd, often with significant foot traffic around the stadium. On non-event days, the area is generally much calmer, offering a more relaxed atmosphere for exploring the architecture and the park. The views from certain points, especially of the roof structure, are quite impressive.

Accessibility & Duration – Access to the stadium's interior often depends on specific events or guided tours. The surrounding Olympiapark München is generally open to the public. For events, I'd suggest checking specific entry times and ticket requirements. If you're just exploring the exterior and the park, you might spend anywhere from 1 to 3 hours here.
Good to know
Architectural Wonder – The transparent canopy roof, designed by Frei Otto, is one of the most striking features, originally meant to symbolize a peaceful and democratic Germany. You can often take guided roof climbs for a unique perspective of the stadium and the city of Munich . The stadium was also the former home of FC Bayern Munich.
