- GailC1976Dundee, United Kingdom59 contributionsMore than your typical stadium tour.We loved our visit here and the tour by Isabella. The stadium has so much history and we found the tour really informative. We'd definitely recommend a visit. I had also emailed the team ahead of my visit with some questions and they were fantastic.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 October 2023
- Bob MGravesend, United Kingdom712 contributionsExcellent and memorableWe arrived mid week in early October. The site of the stadium is huge including as it does the swimming centre and the Mai Field. The pool was partly covered in sheeting but the pool itself was visible and looked amazing. We booked a tour of the stadium with guide Tim. An architect by profession he was very good. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic! His overview of the stadium’s history from pre-war to today was fascinating! The large monumental statues around the site were very Teutonic! We left very happy! 10/10Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 October 2023
- Globe Trotting GemsAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates712 contributionsGreat stadium tour in BerlinFantastic tour with Sven, he was really knowledgable and we really enjoyed learning about the history and sporting events the stadium has. It’s an impressive stadium and so different to others we have visited. Recommend a tour here, good price and English speaking guides available as well.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 December 2023
- Fred ByrneCounty Carlow, Ireland241 contributionsGood to seeGood to go and see, just not a whole lot to do when you get there. None of the food stalls except one were open by that’s probably down to the time of the day we got there. The stadium itself is a big and proud as you’d expect. Glad we went but would have liked a little something else to do when you get there.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 February 2024
- kingtravel15Dublin, Ireland69 contributionsMore interesting than I thought.Very enjoyable. Disembark at the Olympic U-Bahn stop and it’s a short walk to the visitor centre. I prebooked a visitor ticket €11 with a time slot. However I was 30mims early which wasn’t an issue. I also got a multimedia device +€4 which added to the experience. 12 points of interest on the device tour with each segment about 6/7 minutes duration so not overloaded with info. Lots of vantage points inside around the stadium Also there’s a cafeteria and toilets.Visited April 2024Travelled soloWritten 14 April 2024
- AvidTraveler12Winchester, United Kingdom1,831 contributionsA Historic StadiumThe stadium is the home of Hertha Berlin Football Club. Its roots however are more sinister. The stadium was built to house the 1936 Olympic Games and meant to showcase the German Aryan athletes. The track & field events were made famous by Jesse Owens an American athlete who won four gold medals at the games.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 12 May 2024
- Chris S2 contributionsInteresting and InformativeWent on the English speaking tour (Sun 19th May) and was great and very informative. Not rushed and covered a lot.

- RIchard035Northwood, United Kingdom1,305 contributionsSite of the 1936 OlympicsThis is a large sports stadium that hosted the 1936 Olympics and is currently a football venue. To a large extent it is much like other large stadia. You take a guided tour which provides a lot of information on the facilities and the history. The history of the 1936 Olympics is interesting but only makes up a limited part of the tour. Another thing of interest is the indoor warm-up facilities which includes an athletics track where the climate can me matched to the outdoor climate to prepare the athletes as best as possible. The stadium is easily accessible by train from central Berlin - there is a station right next to the stadium. Around the stadium are plinths commemorating each Olympics that Germany competed in, inscribed with the names of German gold medalists. There are toilets and a cafe on site.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 17 June 2024
- Peter HMississauga, Canada547 contributionsA part of German historyOriginally built by the Nazis for the 1936 Olympic Games, it stood the test of time after decision was made to renovate rather than replace it. Being its remote location it survived the war almost intact. For the visitor its location is also a drawback as it takes over 3/4 of an hour to get there by public transport from central Berlin. It has witnessed the Olympics, WWII, World Cup and Euro.Visited August 2023Travelled soloWritten 25 July 2024

I recommend not doing this tour when it is restricted to guide only when concerts are on. The tour is shortened, access is restricted and so is your time on site. No reduction in price to reflect this and also no explanation of this when paying to join the tour. I feel the experience would be much better when not restricted. The guide was great but it just felt like a bit of a let down.

I visited on a sunny morning in January, perfect for a couple photos and a look around at the amazing, grand building. The stripped neoclassical design in brutal concrete and the vastness of the structure create an impression minimising individuality in society. An incredible stadium with a chequered past.

Over the years we have been to the Berliner Olympiastadium many times, either for rock concerts or soccer. Back in May a family group of us went to the DFB Pokal final to watch our team, Bayer 04 Leverkusen beat FC Kaiserslautern.
On this occasion we were totally fed up with with the stupid arrangements to get into the event. It took us over 3 hours of jostling with other fans and we only made it to our allotted seats, up in the gods, in time to see the kick off. I say "up in the gods" because, for the exorbitant price that we paid for the tickets I had expected to be a little bit closer to the action. As it was, we could see the game, make out the players in the distance and enjoy the overall atmosphere created by both sets of rival fans.
By the way, whilst there are enough places to buy drinks and snacks outside the stadium the prices are also crazily high. They certainly like fleecing the captured audience here.
Getting out of the stadium at the end of the game was a bit easier but the public transport away also needs to be improved. There is an S Bahn station that only takes you some way back into town and then leaves you stranded with no obvious connections further.
All in all for such an iconic stadium in such a glorious city they have to do a lot to improve the overall crowd management to get in. I won't be coming back even if we get to the same final next May.

Have always wanted to see this historic place full of historic sporting moment - the 1936 Berlin Games where Jesse Owens ran amok in front of Hitler! The building is the original one that was built - they have modernised all other aspects of it though including a state of the art football field.... It is very easy to get to from Berlin city centre. It is one train which goes all the way to the stadium. It is worth to spend at least 3 hours here just wandering around. The old and the new combined. A very historical site if you take the time. Lots of Olympic information of Olympics through the ages. Well worth a visit...

Coldplay delivered a masterful and joyful concert offering a ride though their entire career. Musically, it was a treat. Also, one had the impression that the band member had a lot of fun: Things were easy, fund, joyful. The track listing made a lot of sense and was a mix of old best of titles and newer ones. Also, the show was masterfully done. The list of people involved read like a list of staff for a Hollywood movie. Understatement is not their strength. Fireworks was involved, a cute programming of wristbands creating amazing effects.
Thanks, Coldplay. The concert was worth every cent.

Went for the football match vs Schalke 04 and was reasonably priced, really loud and a lot of fun. 25 euros is a bargain compared to some Scottish games that are more expensive plus you can get a beer in your seat.
I went back for a guided tour 2 days later and the history of the stadium is fascinating and, as much of Berlin's historical landmarks, faces up to its past. If you go for a concert or match, I'd recommend going back for a second visit.

My husband and I booked a tour online through Visit Berlin which was hosted by Tim.
The tour lasted approximately one hour and gave an insight into the history of the stadium and the many games that have taken place there.
This tour also allowed access (with the guide) to the VIP areas, players changing rooms and the warm up area. After the tour finished visitors were allowed to walk around the stadium freely.
Tim was incredibly knowledgable and made the experience really interesting.

We did the English tour at 11.30am on Sunday 30th October - our tour guide was Jenny. She was amazing, knew so much facts and was just a brilliant story teller. She made this tour. The stadium is amazing and I totally recommend a guided tour and not just a wonder around as we got to many private areas of the stadium and learned so much! Thank you so much Jenny, you were fab!

The stadium is a historical monument from which it is necessary to learn what happened here in the 1936 Olympics.
It maintains its monumentality although if you intend to visit a regular football field you may be disappointed because with the visit you cannot see the changing rooms or the theoretical trophy room of Hertha Berlin, the team that plays here.
The price of 11 euros per adult and 6 per child is somewhat expensive compared to visits to other sports stadiums. The museum staff is very friendly.
A must see for those interested in history, anyway

I worn people to be careful when booking.
Had to pay for the tour twice as I accidently clicked on the wrong date when booking. Immediately requested a refund, but was informed that it is policy to NOT refund mistakes. I complained, but received a terse reply.
The tour itself was really good, even though the guide was a little flat and not much interaction, got the feeling she was bored.

do you need to book in advance to see the stadium? or can you buy tickets same day on arrival?
Written 4 February 2022
Hello and thank you for your question. It depends on what you're planning. For regular sightseeing without a guide, you don't need to book tickets in advance. If you want to join a guided tour, we recommend to book tickets in advance. If you want to join our light experience tour, you will definetily have to book tickets in advance as our visitor's center is closed by the time the light experience tour(s) start. Hope I could help!

Hola buenas noches! Se puede ver el estadio desde el balcon que hay en la parte de atras sin tener que pagar? Muchas gracias!
Written 16 January 2020
Puedes caminar por el estadio, pero no puedes ver mucho adentro. Las casas alrededor no están construidas densamente, por lo que puedes ver mucho. Lo que puedes hacer en el campanario, tienes que pagar la entrada, pero no tanto. El campanario está abierto todos los días de 9 a.m. a 6 p.m. del 30 de marzo al 3 de noviembre. La entrada de 5 euros por persona incluye la exposición en el primer piso y el ascensor exprés a la plataforma de observación.

I’ve got a Berlin welcome card and know I can get a free individual viewing, but is it worth paying the extra for a guided tour? I was hoping to not spend much money as already had spent on the welcome card! There’s an event going on the next day so does that mean there might be limited access?Thanks

Hi Kylie, we think a guides tour is it worth, because you get access to the infield to the underground warm-up training hall and many more. Enjoy the impressive perspective of a state of the art stadium from the edge of the blue tartan track while your guide tells you all about the history and architecture of the Olympiastadion Berlin. Which day you want to come?

I have a Berlin welcome card and plan to visit the stadium, does it need to be booked? If so how do I contact them as no one is replying to my emails.

Advise you check first whether they are setting up for an 'event'. If they are, there will be no facilities available outside of the stadium (loos etc) and guided tours at set times only. They tend to use twitter to communicate rather than email or phone.
