I
would
say
one
of
the
most
iconic
Olympic
stadium
of
all
times!
Very
unique,
one
of
its
kind
and
extremely
intriguing
structure
most
notably
known
for
its
tower,
which
is
by
the
way
the
tallest
inclined
structure
in
the
world!
Its
truly
fascinating
that
the
roof
is
fully
retractable
via
the
cables
suspended
from
the
top
of
the
tower.
I
don't
think
the
stadium
is
available
for
tours
(you
can
of
course
visit
a
sport
venue
or
a
concert),
however
the
tower
is
(well,
not
at
the
moment,
the
tower
is
under
renovations
that
are
suppose
to
last
until
autumn
2024).
Unfortunately,
like
with
most
of
these
megalomaniac
structures,
the
maintenance
is
left
behind
a
bit.
As
I
mentioned,
there
are
renovations
happening,
but
it
still
feels
this
building
has
its
best
years
behind,
at
least
judging
from
its
exterior.
The
whole
complex
is
considered
a
masterpiece
of
organic
modern
architecture,
but
I
might
be
oblivious
to
see
that.
I
like
the
architecture
but
it
feels
more
brutalists
then
organic
to
me.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
regardless
my
feelings,
its
a
major
landmark
of
the
city
and
quite
picturesque
one,
worth
to
see!
If
you
have
enough
''concrete''
for
the
day,
its
only
few
minutes
walking
distance
to
the
botanical
gardens
-
an
excellent
place
to
visit
-
or
to
the
nearby
Biodôme
(basically
indoor
zoo).
I
would
also
not
miss
to
see
the
Olympic
monument
with
the
iconic
five
rings
and
plaquettes
with
the
participants
to
the
1976
Summer
Olympics.
I
would
advice
against
walking
around
the
stadium
at
the
moment,
as
there
is
a
lot
of
refurbishments
going
on
and
some
parts
of
the
path
are
fenced
and
closed.
Great
viewing
point
of
the
structure
is
from
Parc
de
rails
Dillon
Ojo
-
located
on
the
north-west
corner
-
on
the
way
to
the
Insectarium
or
Botanical
Gardens.
