Why Olympiapark Munich matters
The 1972 Olympic site is a landmark of modern architecture, with a swooping, tent-like roof in transparent panels that seems to float over the stadium. You can walk or cycle through the park, go up the tower for a view of the Alps on a clear day, or even take a guided roof walk.
Talking points
- The tent-like roof is an architectural icon
- The tower gives views toward the Alps
- The park is popular for walks and events
