Glockenturm

For a striking perspective of Berlin’s Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium), take the lift up to the outdoor observation platform of this 77m-high bell tower, built for the 1936 Olympics. En route you’ll pass a replica of the Olympic bell (the damaged original is displayed south of the stadium). For the back story of the 1936 games, peruse the pictures and panels of the ground-floor exhibit and don't miss the documentary featuring rare original footage from the Nazi era.

The tower is next to the Waldbühne outdoor concert venue, just west of the Olympiastadion. It's about a 500m walk north from S-Bahn station Pichelsberg via Schirwindter Allee and Passenheimer Strasse.
