 On the roof of the Olympic
Stadium by sabsi
The whole tour takes approx 2 hours. There's a film first and you get your safety gear (which seems a bit too much to me considering it's not that dangerous to climb the roof). Then you climb around the whole roof with many breaks and a short detour to one of the peaks of the roof. Watching it was a bit boring after a while as the whole tour on the roof took over an hour and they were waiting for a longer time than they were actually walking around.
The tour costs €25 on weekdays, € 30 on weekends and public holidays.
From this year (2005) you also have another option: There's an Abseiling Tour available now as well. You can abseil yourself 40 mtrs into the stadium at the end of this tour. This tour costs 40 Euro. Leave a Comment

 Olympia Park and Swimming
Stadium from the Tower by antistar, 1 more photos
With such grand facilities and stadiums so close to the city center you can bet they put on a lot of sports and music events, and you can find out more about those at the website below. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the U3 in the direction Olympia Park Nord, and get off at Olympia-Zentrum. Head across the bridge in the direction of the Olympic Tower.Website: www.olympiapark-muenchen.de/

 31 Connollystrasse, Olympic
Village, Munich by antistar
On September 5th at 4.30am a group of Palestinians broke into the Olympic Village. They succeeded in this because the security was deliberately low-key. The West Germans had not wanted the world to see gun wielding German security guards marching around on the world's television screens. Once inside they entered the accommodation of the Israeli athletes at 31 Connollystrasse, killing two and capturing nine. A tragedy began to unfold in front of the entire world, and the German authorities could do little more than look on, uselessly and impotently.
The drama escalated, with the Palestinians demanding the release of over 200 prisoners in Israel, which the Israeli government refused to concede and the Palestinians threatening to kill their hostages if their conditions were not met. The Palestinians had no idea what to do if the Israeli government failed to capitulate. The West Germans, extremely uncomfortable that the hostages were Jewish, offered the kidnappers limitless money to release the athletes, but they refused.

If you walk out of the station in the direction away from the park, and walk through the shopping center, you will find Connollystr. Take a right and number 31 is down at the end of the street.Website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Massacre

 Olympic Village by sabsi
The sight of them in my mind is connected with thinking of one of the worst events in sports ever. On September 5th 1972 two sportsmen from Israel were killed here by terrorists. Nine were taken hostage in their appartment for several days before they were killed at the airport of Fürstenfeldbruck when the police tried to liberate them.

 Olympiapark by sabsi
The whole design for the park is very light, the planners wanted to distance themselves from the concrete games of 1936. Hence there's gravel paths, glass roofs and a lot of nature dominating the park. Leave a Comment Address: OlympiazentrumDirections: U3 Olympiazentrum

 Olympiaturm in Munich by globetrott
On a clear day you may see into a distance of 400 Km and the panorama will be from Dachstein/Austria to the Swiss Alps.
The tower has a height of 290 meters and a lift will take you up to the platform with a speed of 7meters per second
The tower is open daily :
09.00a.m.-11.30p.m.
the restaurant opens at 11.00a.m. and turns around in 35, in 53 or 72 minutes - don't ask me what these different speeds are good for , or what time they are choosen.... Leave a Comment Directions: Take U3 or U6 and leave at Olympiapark

 Olympic Tower from Behind the
Swimming Stadium by antistar, 4 more photos
The tower is open until midnight, and it costs 3 euros for adults to ascend to the top. Up in the heavens you will also find a very expensive restaurant - somewhere you'll want to go more for the views than the food. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the U3 in the direction Olympia Park Nord, and get off at Olympia-Zentrum. Head across the bridge in the direction of the Olympic Tower.

 Olympic stadium by sabsi
As the major local teams, FC Bayern München and 1860 München, play their matches in the new Allianz Arena now the stadium is only used for events such as concerts. You can go and visit the stadium for just € 1.50.
There's several tours you can book, too. There's one where you can go into the cabins and onto the pitch and there's the roof climb I will tell you more about in my next tip. Leave a Comment Address: OlympiazentrumDirections: U3 Olympiazentrum

 the Olympic tent of 1972 by globetrott
The olympic glass-tent was built at the place, where Munich's first airport had once been, and where the first Zeppelin landed in Munich in 1909.
The glass-tent looks spectacular, but most people will not realize how many millions of Euro have to be payed each year for repairs of that rather new building.
Olympiapark is still a great place to relax, the stadions are still used for concerts of pop-stars and for sporting-events.
The Olympiahalle has 14000 seats.
I took this picture at night Leave a Comment Address: OlympiaparkDirections: Take U3 or U6 and get out at Olympiapark
