Olympic Tower
At a speed of 7 m/s you soon get nearer to heaven. The view of Munich, its surroundings and, if the weather is good, the Alps from the Salzkammergut to the Allgäu Alps is just as unique as the Olympic tower itself.
On April 5, 2005 the Olympic tower has even grown by 1.75 meters. A Russian specialist helicopter under Swiss flag has been used to lift off the antenna’s top end and put up a new antenna piece by piece, which from now on will provide six million TV viewers in Munich and the south of Bavaria with digital TV broadcasting.
The new hight of the Olympic tower is now 291,28 meters.
Up here on one of the highest towers in Europe you can get away from the bustle of the city. Take a deep breath, forget everything and then relax.
From the viewing platforms of the tower at a height of 190 metres, the shiny silver tent roof silhouette of the Olympic park is a brilliant example of exceptional architecture.
At a height of 291.28 metres, the most characteristic symbol of Munich is three times higher than the spires of the Frauenkirche church. Since being opened on 22.2.1968, this huge tower with a weight of 52,500 tonnes has withstood every single storm.
In the revolving 181, restaurant and bar, at a height of 181 metres guests can enjoy excellent cuisine and the wonderful view over Munich and its surroundings while revolving through 360° in 53 minutes. (Opening times: every day 11 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.)
