Waldbühne Berlin

Berlin


Summers in Berlin just wouldn’t be the same without this chilled spot for big-name rock, jazz and comedy acts as well as symphonies under the stars. The 22,000-seat open-air amphitheatre in the woods has been around since 1936 and has exceptional acoustics.

The venue is located just west of the Olympiastadion and 550m north of S-Bahn station Pichelsberg via Schirwindter Allee and Passenheimer Strasse.
