The Allianz Arena is a modern football stadium in Munich, Germany, and the home ground of FC Bayern Munich. It sits in Bavaria, and for many visitors it is the first thing they want to see when they arrive in the city.
What to expect
The stadium is known above all for its distinctive illuminated exterior facade, which can change colour in the evening and gives the building a striking presence on the skyline. Even if you do not plan to attend a match, it is worth seeing the building up close, especially after dark.
