A striking Dominique Perrault-designed indoor arena from 1997, built around a sunken cycling track and seating up to 12,000 for concerts and events. It hosts the prestigious Berliner Sechstagerennen (Six Day Race) cycling event every January — a uniquely Berlin spectacle of elite track cycling, live music, and late-night revelry all under one roof. Caveat: the cycling event is the main reason to come; as a general concert venue it plays second fiddle to the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
