Set on the banks of the Spree River, Mercedes-Benz Arena is one of Berlin's signature live music venues. With a capacity to seat over 170,000 fans, the atmosphere is electric. Previous acts have included Rihanna, Beyonce, U2 and Justin Bieber.

Mercedes-Benz Arena also doubles as a top-tier sporting venue. It's home to the much-loved Eisbaren Berlin ice-hockey team, as well as Alba Berlin, the city's professional basketball club. No matter where you sit you'll find easy access to a variety of bars and snack stalls.

The stadium also hosts major events like the Apassionata World GmbH horse show, the high-octane Night of the Jumps motocross series and We Love MMA Mixed Martial Arts events. If you can't score tickets to a match or show, why not join a guided tour? You'll unlock behind-the-scenes access to the locker rooms, dressing rooms and commentary box.

Getting there

Mercedes-Benz Arena is in Berlin's Friedrichshain neighbourhood, a 10-minute drive from the city centre and just steps from the famous East side Gallery. The stadium is a five to 10-minute walk from Warschauer Strasse or Ostbahnhof stations.
