Since we are so far outside from the city center there are not that many spectacular sites near the stadium. A great thing to do is to climb the "Drachenberg” (dragon mountain) south from the stadium and enjoy the great views. From there it is not far to the "Teufelsberg” (devil's mountain) which is an old radar station also offering stunning views. Very unique place, people say it's a must-see for street-art fans as there are numerous graffiti paintings.

The Olympiastadion is a haven for history buffs. Built for the 1936 Olympics, Hitler's horrible legacy is everywhere, from the machine-gun damaged Olympic bell to the Maifeld, a Nazi parading ground. The whole area is largest remaining example of Nazi monumental architecture and a must-see. Join the €12 daily tour to discover all the history before you take in a game. Alternatively, just walk around and take all the architecture in for yourself.
