About the stadium

The Olympiastadion, Germany's third-largest stadium, was built for the 1936 Olympic Games under the Nazi regime. Set within the Olympiapark in the western districts of Berlin, it has been home to Hertha Berlin since 1963 and can hold more than 74,000 spectators.

A thorough renovation ahead of the 2006 World Cup turned the Olympiastadion into a modern ground, with covered stands and new reception areas. Its most distinctive feature is the blue running track that rings the pitch, the only one of its kind in the Bundesliga and a defining part of the venue.

Some of the biggest moments in sporting history have played out here: Jesse Owens' feats in 1936, Usain Bolt's astonishing world records in 2009, and the dramatic 2006 World Cup final, remembered for Zinédine Zidane's headbutt. The stadium also hosts the final of the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) every year.

Behind its monumental architecture, the Olympiastadion is known for its atmosphere, driven by the famous Ostkurve, the east stand where the main supporter groups of the "Old Lady" (Die Alte Dame) gather.

Tours of Berlin's Olympic stadium run year-round, except on matchdays. There are two options: a self-guided tour and a guided tour. The self-guided tour lets visitors explore the stadium at their own pace, with information panels covering the history of the 1936 Olympic Games, the architecture of the site, and the major events held here over nearly a century. The guided tours last 60 to 90 minutes and give access behind the scenes: the dressing rooms, players' tunnel, warm-up room, pitchside, the stands, and some VIP and hospitality areas.

Entry is through the Visitor Center on Olympischer Platz, a few minutes from the Olympiastadion (U2) and Olympiastadion / Pichelsberg (S-Bahn) stations.

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 !

A perfect stadium for a gig. Seen the Foo Fighters there recently. An old (but new) amphitheatre that feels both absolutely massive yet intimate at the same time. Tremendously well organised. 💜🤘

This stadium is huge. I saw Metallica here while on the 2026 European tour, and this has been one of the most impressive venues, so far. An awesome fireworks display from the top of stadium finished off the concert.

Fantastic stone stadium built for the 1936 Berlin Olympic games. Great views, you can go in just €11 per adult, you can enter the stadium sit in the seats, take photos. Really great value. Highly recommend.

A great place to visit for both sport and history. Famous for hosting the 1936 Olympics with objects from that time period still being within the grounds. of the stadium. The tours offer a lot of information about its past and present history too!

Fantastic stadium with a lot of history. We visited it twice, and had the full tour. We visited the changing rooms, the grounds and the surrounding area. Our tour guide was brilliant and explained all the history of the stadium and its significance. Additionally, many events take place there including fairs for schools and vocational training.

An amazing stadium with so much history. It was a great experience visiting and watching a Hertha BSC game there. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the stadium looks especially beautiful at night. The only sad part was that the match ended in a draw… I was really hoping to celebrate a win! Still, it was an unforgettable experience and definitely worth visiting.

Fantastic historical building! It’s renovated so it’s modern (football) venue in the end. Been on my bucket list for a while and it was a pleasant time spent there. Fans deserve 1. Bundesliga! 👏

An amazing place. I am not a football fan but the stadium is a must see. The tour lasted a little over an hour and covered the history of the stadium and its modern day use. The tour guide did not shy away from the uncomfortable history of Olympiastadion and answered any questions knowledgeably and in detail. We took the English tour and it was great. It was snowing when we went but this did not stop us from having a wonderful time.
