By public transportation

Due to traffic, it could take considerably longer than expected to get to the stadium. Make sure you arrive early and with enough time to spare.
Both the subway line U2 and the S-Bahn lines S3 and S9 will take you directly to the stadium.

Watch out: Special S5 trains will also run to the Olympiastadion Berlin during EURO 2024. Please note, however, that not all S5 trains run through to the stadium and pay attention to the displays and announcements on the platform.

There are no public parking spaces available at the Olympiastadion Berlin on EURO 2024 match days. Leave your car at home and use the U-Bahn or S-Bahn instead.

Accessibility in the stadium
There are 2 InfoPoints for accessibility in the stadium:

  1. Directly behind entrance B.
  2. Integrated into the stadium walls if you are coming from Entrance A.

If you have any questions about accessibility in the stadium or need help accessing the audio-descriptive commentary, the volunteers will be happy to assist you.

Gender-neutral access in the stadium 
For the first time at a major soccer event, there will be so-called "sensitivity lanes" at the entrance to the stadium, where there will be no gender-specific admission control. The entrances are marked accordingly and are usually located on the far right of all entrances. Fans can also choose whether they want to be checked by a male or female steward. Admission is also possible without a gender check (e.g. on the ticket). 

The organizer is very progressive about this: "EURO 2024 considers gender identities and expressions as a spectrum that cannot be limited to a binary concept".

After the game

It is best to use the same means of transport for your departure that you have already used for your arrival. The Olympia-Stadion subway station and the Olympiastadion S-Bahn station can be reached on foot in 5-10 minutes. During the week, the U-Bahn and S-Bahn run until around 00:45, and even all night at weekends. In the event of an extension, public transport will be adapted to the match so that all fans can leave relaxed.
