    The Olympic Tower, at 291 meters tall, is Munich's tallest structure, a prominent landmark of the Olympic Park, and a popular television tower. Built for the 1972 Olympic Games, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the city stretching to the Alps. An elevator whisks visitors to a height of over 180 meters in just 30 seconds. Constructed in the late 1960s (and inaugurated in 1968), the tower is now a listed historical monument. An annual stair-climbing event, the "OlympiaTowerRun," challenges participants to ascend the tower's 1,020 steps.

        The viewing platform is at a height of 192 m. From here you have a gigantic view of Munich to the Alps when the weather is nice
        The elevator takes you to the top at a speed of 7m / s. You can then enjoy the fantastic view on three viewing platforms (1x inside and 2x outside).
