Bayern Munich are Germany's dominant force and a regular fixture in the Champions League knockouts. The Allianz Arena, with its inflatable cushion exterior that lights up red on home nights, is one of the most photogenic football venues anywhere.
This guide covers tickets, transport from Munich Airport and city centre, and where to stay for a Bayern matchday.

Where to stay

Schwabing
Student/expat district, great bars, direct U6 to Fröttmaning.
Fröttmaning / Garching

Tickets
Bayern sell most tickets to club members. Public sale opens close to matchday but sells out fast for big games. Hospitality through the official site is the easiest guaranteed-seat option for travellers.
Avoid resale outside of Bayern's official platform — German law tightly regulates ticket transfers.
Why visit the Allianz Arena
Few stadiums look better at night. The Allianz Arena's facade glows in club colours — red for Bayern, white for international fixtures, blue for 1860 Munich (when they shared) — and the bowl inside is one of the most modern in Europe.
Pair an Allianz visit with a stadium tour and FC Bayern Erlebniswelt museum, which tells the club's story from 1900 to the present.
Matchday in Munich
Take the U6 U-Bahn to Fröttmaning station — the stadium is a 10-minute walk from the platform. Allow 30 minutes from Marienplatz.
Pre-match drinks happen in the city — Augustiner-Keller, Hofbräuhaus, the Viktualienmarkt — then everyone takes the U6 together. Trains are heavily reinforced on matchdays.
