My favorite spot in Munich was launched in 1972 and is located in the Oberwiesenfeld neighborhood. It is 3 sq km large and hosts sports, cultural and social events. Any thoughts on what is it? 

Here is more information: it was built where the Bayern army used to be until 1925 when it became part of Munich’s airport. After the World War II, the rubble was moved there and used to form the hills of the landscape. Today, you can find there an ice rink, an indoor pool, a residential district and student residences. Also, there is the Olympic Stadium and the Olympiaturm!

So, the Olympiapark is my favorite spot in Munich – but why? 

I begin by saying that I like the landscape. It is a one of a kind park, because not only it is beautiful, but it is also blended in with the city. I mean, besides all the green area and the lake, where else is there a futuristic tent-like roof construction that covers a stadium, a pool and a hall? Indeed, it is unique!

Also, there you can have an overview of the city. One way is walking to the top of the Olympiaberg, a hill with 60 meter high. The other way is taking the elevator at the Olympiaturm (the 290 meter television tower) until about 189 – 192 meter high. Moreover, I love running at Olympiapark at the mornings. It is such an inspiring scenario to exercise! 

To get to Olympiapark you can take the U-Bahn to Olympiazentrum (U3), it is definitely worthwhile visiting! For more information about events, sport & leisure, tours & sightseeing and so on, please access www.olympiapark.de 

Munich is a great city and even though Olympiapark is my favorite site, there are several other wonderful places to visit. Stay tuned for more!

Best,
