Hand in Hand

Along the bank of the lake at the Olympic Park are more than 70 tributes to celebrities and “friends” of the Olympic Park as part of the Walk of Stars. In the model of the Hollywood walk of stars, Munich has done the same with these tributes. A precondition for being immortalized is that the personalities have been successful in the Olympic park facilities. Turns out, Bryan Adams has performed at the Olympic Hall 10 times to more than 100,000 fans across 20 years. At this rate, he’s sure to be considered a Munich native. Other famous personalities include the Dalai Lama, Elton John, Boris Becker, Carlos Santana, and Tom Jones. With more than 6 million visitors a year to the Olympic Park, this Walk of Stars is sure to be noticed.
