Climb the Roof of the Olympic Stadium in Munich
....with a guided tour.
The Olympic Stadium in Munich, which was the site of the 1972 Summer Olympics, offers tours across its sweeping and transparent canopies of acrylic glass, the signature characteristic of the stadium.
The light roof design was revolutionary and futuristic for its time and was modeled on the Bavarian Alps - it only seems natural that you can ascend these architectural mountains now.
You don't have to be a mountaineer to take part in this 2-hour tour (which is complete with ropes and karabiner), the only thing you need are good shoes and a little courage. You will be rewarded with spectacular views of the stadium and Munich's skyline, and on a clear day, you can even see the Alps and Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze.

It looks amazing. It is too bad that the Munich games will ever be marred by the terrible events that took place. I wonder if there is a special tour for those who want to no more about what happened.
Yes, it would be very interesting to have a tour that explains more about the terrible massacre that happened here during the Olympic Games in 1972!
As far as I know there is no special tour like that, but here is a good overview of other guided tours:
