Milbertshofen

Olympiapark and BMW

Milbertshofen in the north holds the Olympiapark, built for the 1972 Summer Games, with BMW Welt and the BMW Museum across the road.

The Olympiapark has a stadium with a tent-like roof by Frei Otto and Günter Behnisch, a hill built from war rubble, and a television tower. The Olympiaturm is closed for renovation and is expected to reopen in October 2027.

BMW Welt, the exhibition and delivery centre, is free and open from morning until midnight. The BMW Museum next to the headquarters shows the history of the brand's cars and motorcycles.

Getting there

Olympiazentrum (U3) is the station for the park and for BMW Welt and the BMW Museum, a 5 to 7 minute walk by BMW's own directions. Olympia-Einkaufszentrum (U1, U3) is also close, and Milbertshofen (U2) serves the district itself.
