All you need to know about Olympistadion Berlin tours

Even though some wanted to demolish it in the 1990s, Olympiastadion Berlin is mostly beloved by the supporters. Not just that of Hertha Berlin, the home side, but of the neutrals as well. Even non-football fans love the ground as it is a multi-sport arena and an architectural marvel. Hence, even the tours of the Olympiastadion Berlin aren't reserved for just the fans of the sport and go beyond it.

Since the reopening after the renovation done in 2004, it's reported that 300,000 people visit Olympiastadion Berlin tours. That's not including events like matches, concerts, or other organized mass gatherings. It's simply tour numbers.

Olympiastadion Berlin tours tickets

First thing is a must, the tickets for the tours can be bought online at the stadium's online shop. Yet, the issue is that the website isn't available in English. So without the use of a third-party translator, it's going to be a difficult to manage.

You can buy the tour tickets on the spot, as the booth is located on the eastern side of the stadium (Olympischer Platz 3). Near the car parking lot and on the natural way to the stadium from the nearest subway station.

It's possible to pay with debit and credit cards, as well as in cash (euros).

There are numerous tours to pick from, both guided and unguided. In German or in English.

During non-guided visits, guests can move around the stadium freely and enjoy the view from different sections. Boards and displays are set up to provide context and information about the history of the building.

Multimedia guides are also available and can provide information about the stadium without the need for a guide.

Bicycles and dogs are not allowed to enter.

The tours are not completely wheelchair accessible. The stadium organization asks wheelchair users who would like to take part in the tour to register in advance.

Technology tour

The Technology tour of Olympiastadion Berlin examines what is usually taken from granted until it's looked at closely - the science and engineering behind operating such a massive ground.
