Waldbuhne is one of Berlin’s most iconic open-air amphitheatres, set within the greenery of the Olympic Park. Inspired by ancient Greek theatre design and built into a natural slope, it forms a bowl-like auditorium that naturally draws attention to the stage. With a capacity of roughly 22,000+ guests, Waldbuhne is a go-to venue for major summer concerts and unforgettable open-sky nights.
Inside, the experience balances “big-event” energy with surprisingly close sightlines: the steeply rising tiers provide excellent visibility, while the acoustics are widely praised for carrying both amplified shows and orchestral programmes with clarity. During events, visitors typically find multiple points for drinks and snacks, making breaks smooth and keeping the evening flowing.
You’ll find it at Glockenturmstraße 1, Berlin, Germany, and event entry is arranged via Glockenturmstraße. Most visitors arrive on foot from nearby stops and parking areas around the Olympic complex (for example, S-Bahn Pichelsberg or U-Bahn Olympiastadion), then follow clearly signposted paths to the gates.
