Stadium

Allianz Arena

Opened in 2005, the Allianz Arena immediately became one of the most recognisable stadiums in world football. Its exterior is covered in thousands of illuminated ETFE panels.

The fully enclosed bowl has no running track, meaning every seat feels close to the action. Facilities and sightlines are among the best in Europe.

Südkurve

The home of Bayern's most active supporters. Coordinated singing, flags and choreographies make it the atmosphere engine of the stadium.

Nordkurve

Another active supporter area with standing sections and a strong atmosphere, although generally less intense than the Südkurve.

Main & East Stands

Seated areas with excellent views, modern facilities and the greatest level of comfort.

Allianz Arena

FC Bayern Erlebniswelt

One of Europe's great football museums.

The FC Bayern Erlebniswelt presents the full history of the club through trophies, historic shirts, memorabilia and interactive installations.

  • Bundesliga and European trophies
  • Historic shirts and boots
  • Club timeline from 1900 to today
  • Interactive exhibits
  • Stadium tour and pitch-side access

Stadium Tour

Go behind the scenes.

Stadium tours usually include the players' tunnel, dressing rooms, press areas and pitch-side access. Museum and tour tickets can be combined.

Booking Tip

Pre-booking is strongly recommended, especially on matchdays and during peak tourism periods.

Getting There

U6 to Fröttmaning.

From Marienplatz, take the U6 towards Garching-Forschungszentrum and alight at Fröttmaning.

Travel time from central Munich is approximately 20 minutes, followed by a short walk to the stadium.

From Munich Airport, take the S1 or S8 to the city centre and continue by U6. Allow approximately 50–65 minutes.

Parking is available, but the P+R system is often more convenient for visitors arriving by car.

Before The Match

Arrive 90–120 minutes early.

Early arrival gives you time to visit the museum, browse the large fan shop, take photographs and experience the changing atmosphere around the stadium.

The Arena At Night

Seeing the Allianz Arena glow red at dusk is one of the most striking visual experiences in European football.

Attendance & Atmosphere

Biggest on the biggest nights.

The atmosphere is strongest for Champions League nights, Der Klassiker and decisive Bundesliga fixtures. The Südkurve leads the support and drives the noise around the stadium.

Bundesliga fixtures often include many international visitors, but major European matches reveal the arena at its most intense.

Pre-Match Tradition

Stern des Südens.

Before kick-off, supporters sing “Stern des Südens”. On Champions League nights, the UEFA anthem adds another layer to the entrance.

European Nights

When the arena is illuminated and the teams emerge for a major European fixture, the sense of occasion is exceptional.

Inside The Stadium

Modern, efficient and close to the action.

The Allianz Arena is highly polished and easy to navigate. The enclosed bowl keeps the sound inside, while the steep tiers create strong views from almost every position.

Bratwurst€5.50

Prices, capacities and transport details on this page were last checked on . Confirm anything that matters with the club before you travel.

After The Match

Let the U6 clear.

The U6 becomes extremely busy after the final whistle. Waiting 20–30 minutes before leaving can make the return journey much more comfortable.

Munich's old town, Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt remain lively after matches. In warmer months, the city's beer gardens are an excellent post-match option.

Recommended Hotels

Stay in the city centre.

City Centre

Altstadt, Maxvorstadt and Schwabing offer the best combination of sights, restaurants and transport connections.

Mid-Range Options

Motel One München-Sendlinger Tor and ibis München City provide reliable accommodation with strong transport links.

Near The Stadium

Accommodation around Fröttmaning is limited. Staying centrally and taking the U6 is usually the better option.

Booking Tip

Book early during Oktoberfest, major trade fairs and Champions League matchweeks, when hotel prices rise sharply.
