Olympiastadion

The visitor center refused to give the english guided tour sceduled and announced on their web site for December 29th without giving any reason.

We visited it in the early days of December and it was even colder here up on the hill.

It was interesting to walk round and visit the Herte shop etc. and all the outfield such as the Waldbuhne, swimming pools,, hockey fields and the Maifeld.

Having only seen it in books, we were impressed by its size and we took lots of photos including the Olympic bell with the shell hole in it.

The notorious Olympic Stadium is Hertha Berlin's home ground... how can I not adore it!?

To really see the stadium properly go to a Hertha match (ticket prices vary, approx. €20), buy yourself a litre of beer, then sit back and watch in awe as the fans go wild in the Ostkurve.

I came here before they re-did it and it was a terrible mess, water dripping from everywhere! But I loved it, does it have those amazing statues outside still? I often wondered if they took them down. It had a kind of faded glamour about it, which has probably been lost now.

Das Olympia Stadion ist einfach super!!!
Als ich beim Nike-challenge Lauf ins Olympia Staion einlaufen durfte war das einfach nur ein krasse Gefühl!
Es ist so beeindruckend darin zu sitzen. Nicht zu vergessen natürlich die coole blaue Bahn ist das Beste!!!

I was considerably impressed when I recently had been at an event here. The whole reconstruction of the site translated this historic site into a modern stadium without hiding it’s unfortunate past. A must see for visitors, I think.
