Olympic Tower | Olympic Park Munich

It was 1964 when the Munich City Council decided to build a television tower on what was then known as Oberwiesenfeld - to improve the radio and TV programmes for the city's citizens. The 1972 Summer Olympics turned the tower into a world-famous landmark of the city and a major public attraction in the Olympic Park. By May 2024, around 45 million visitors had taken the lift to the viewing platforms at a height of 190 metres in just 30 seconds in the five and a half decades since it opened in 1968. The Olympic Tower has been temporarily closed since 1 June 2024 due to renovation and refurbishment work on the façade and technology, fire protection and ventilation systems. The tower will be open again from 2026 - for the unique 360-degree panoramic view, right under the sky above Munich.

We are closed!

The tower has been temporarily closed for renovation since June 1, 2024. The Olympic Tower is expected to reopen to all visitors from mid-2026.
