Fan Zone Brandenburg Gate:

• The official Fan Mile in Berlin is located in the Tiergarten district of Berlin and runs from the Brandenburg Gate via Straße des 17. Juni to Große Queerallee. This makes the Berlin Fan Mile the longest in the world. Fittingly, the Brandenburg Gate will become the largest football goal in the world and will also be used as a broadcast screen. Green grass will be rolled out in front of the gate for a pop-up park, which will offer many activities and events for football fans, guests and Berliners.

In principle, the Olympiastadion Berlin is barrier-free and also accessible for people with limited mobility. However, unrestricted mobility is not always possible within the blocks, as some areas are only accessible via stairs.
There are currently 170 spaces for wheelchair users in the walkway between the upper and lower tiers, and there are four accessible toilets on the same level.
For the UEFA EURO 2024, the Olympiastadion Berlin will be made even more accessible. New wheelchair spaces are to be created in almost all of the stands by the start of the games, with a total increase of 36 per cent. There will also be hundreds of new seats for people with physical disabilities. These are wider or have special padding, for example. 

For the blind and visually impaired, there are 50 seats in Block P with match commentary via headphones.
