The Olympiaturm (Olympic tower) in Munich: high above the city

From zero to nearly 200 metres in 30 seconds: that’s how fast the elevator in the Munich Olympiaturm (Olympic tower) can take you to the best view over Munich. A regional day ticket for Bavaria means you get a discount. At Restaurant 181, which is 181 metres above ground, you’ll be treated to the best panoramic view, without needing to get up from your seat. This is because the restaurant slowly rotates round in a circle. If you’re particularly brave you can climb another couple of metres to the roof of the Olympic stadium: the guided tent roof tour with the longest flying fox zip line in Europe is bound to bring your trip to a thrilling end. The best way to get to the Olympic park is to take the U-Bahn from the station, and get off at either the “Olympiazentrum” (U3) or “Milbertshofen” (U2) stops.
