Olympiaturm

I stumbled across this must visit spot when I arrived to check out the BMW Museum and Welt. It is the tallest building in Munich and offers unrivaled views. This is a must see while in town.

There is a restaurant, but I think you have to book ahead of time. The cafe there is ok, but the service is slow as there is one guy and he puts effort into the drinks he makes.

Lastly this visit allows me to stumble onto a music festival that I will now be attending.

A must see.

View is perfect. Reservation needed. Quite expensive.

Food is so so. Fish was hard and not so fresh.

Ice cream is looks too red.

Well worth the €9 to get 185 meters above the ground by elevator on this crisp and clear day. Definitely keep an eye on the weather before you make the trek as it's only worth it if it's a clear day. And today? Clear as clear can be.

Despite Oktoberfest being well underway, on this Saturday afternoon there was no waiting to pay the entrance fee and only a minute or so to wait for the next elevator to whisk me to the enclosed observation deck. So far, all of this is completely accessible.

The enclosed observation deck is a full 360 degrees view and you can walk all the way around. Etched on the glass are pointers that tell you what that structure is off in the distance. That was helpful. There is also the Rock Museum (which is not about stones but is actually about music). It was not crowded at all.

At this point, the handicap accessible ends. There is a stair case up to an open area (bars to prevent people from going over) and then *another* set of stairs for a completely unobstructed view of the skyline with no bars. It was windy as heck and I was a little worried that it would take my phone out of my hands.

The view? Amazing. All the way to the horizon. Simply beautiful!

[Round number review 12000 overall, 1783 of 2019.]

I try to get my round number reviews to land on something awesome. My 11,000th was the CN Tower in Toronto. 10,000 was the SkyWalk Observatory in Boston's Prudential Tower. So it's cool that my 12,000th landed here in München!

Nice and the view is stunning. Although the restaurant is closed for COVID reasons. Therefore is the admittance of 9€/person quite expensive for just the ride up and down..

A wonderful multi level tower to view olympic park and the city from.
There is a level behind glass - each window has a map to tell you what you are looking at (when the weather is clear, you can see lots)
The second and third levels are outside to get better pictures!

Yes it was not cheap, but i love towers - so it was priceless to me!

The small rock and roll exhibit was a little quaint. Something interesting to listen to and read.

The Olympiaturm, one of the iconic monuments of the Munich skyline. You can see it from all sorts of vantage points in the city.

Site of the 1972 Olympic Games. The tower overlooking the stadium is a good place to visit for amazing views over Munich. On a good day they say you can see as far as the Alps. The day we went was very overcast but that didn't distract from the views.

Cost is €5.50 per adult. The lift travels at 7 metres per second so in no time you're 181 metres into the sky. The viewing platforms give 360 degree views over Munich - pretty epic if you ask me!!

You can also go upstairs and outside and those views are spectacular.

There is also a rock museum at the top which is worth spending a view minutes in looking at memorabilia from stars such as Kylie, Robbie Williams, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Rolling Stones, Kurt Cobain, The Beatles and lots more.

Not really worth the 7 euros admission to go up to the top. Sure you could see for miles, but not that exciting. Walked around the circle once and checked out the tiny rock museum.

This is a really nice spot (the only?) spot to get a view from the city of München. The tower is located in the awesome Olympiapark which is well worth a visit. Riding the elevator is fun as it goes at 7 m/s. Hold off on the Weissbier because it'll make your stomach go up and down. The view is great. At the closest you have a great view of the Olympia stadium and the BMW museum and plant. Further out you get a view of the city, and we could barely make out the mountains in the background, but it wasn't a very clear day.

We visited the Olympiaturm when visiting the BMW Welt in Olympia Park. Yes, it's a nice view, but I think we would have preferred to keep our 9 euros. You can get a nice view of the city from the church towers for less money, and get your "scenic" views from one of the many cable car/lift options outside Munich (we did Karwendel this trip and it was great). If you have to push to get this to fit in your schedule, I'd recommend skipping it. But if you have the time, it is a nice view.
