when you see it, you will be amaized that it is 80 years old and looks better, better designed, and more awe inspiring than any modern Olympic Stadium in the world today. I have seen the set up at the Atlanta games from 1996, boring. the los angeles Stadium sucked, the london olympic village makes me just leave a question... More

Easy travelling via U2 or S5 from downtown. Some waking required from you, but views and nature around stadium is nice. More

Visited the Olympic Stadium in Berlin for the Hertha Berlin v Hamburg match in January 2012. Stadium is very easy to get to due to Berlin's (and Germany in general) fantastic infrastructure. Took the train to the Olympic Station and from there it was a 3 minute walk to the stadium itself. You can drink on the trains, in the... More

I went with family to this stadium, mainly because I personally liked the shape and overall design of the stadium. Seeing it in the TV and pictures is by far not comparable to going there and checking it out in real. It looks absolutely brilliant and the price to enter it is very decent (£16 for a family ticket). You... More

We all know the reasons for why this building is so grand, but you can't help but be taken a back by the beautiful symmetry and clean lines of the building. Walk around the Olympic grounds at your own pace reading the information boards around the grounds. Watch the video at the base of the bell tower as well. More

We spent about 2 hours visiting the Olympic Stadium area, but you could take a good half day looking at the various exhibits. The 1936 Olympics were held here and most of the sporting events took place near the main stadium. The Olympic Stadium is impressive and although modernised for the 2006 World Cup finals, it still contains many of... More

Perhaps the only protected building from the Nazi era. It is interesting to see how they built the cult of the leader and the Third Reich. We saw Hertha Berlin play football against Bayern Munich and the crowd was fantastic but the associations go to a fanatical crowd from a dark time. And the Olympic Stadium is not good as... More

We visited the Olympic Stadium on our last morning in Berlin as a 'we'll do it if we have time' activity. We took the S train to Olympiastadion from Hauptbahnhof and recommend this route as it's all above ground so you also get to see something of suburban Berlin as well. The stadium has, of course, been significantly upgraded since... More

Because we really wanted to see what soccer is like outside of the U.S., we bought tickets to a Hertha Berlin game during our stay. Great experience! The fans are pretty intense and have coordinated chanting and singing the entire game. Also, the stadium is obviously historic as well. More

Visited the stadium and was able to walk around the grounds and into seating. Many reminders of the past were still apparent both good and bad. When the sun shines through the field, the view really is beautiful. The stadium is in good shape despite the age. More
