Allianz Arena

Allianz Arena


Munich, Germany (DE)
Allianz Arena is a world-famous football stadium located in Munich, Germany, on the city’s northern edge near the Fröttmaning U-bahn station. It opened in May 2005 and was designed by the architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. The stadium is renowned for its distinctive exterior of inflated ETFE plastic panels that can be dynamically lit in different colors — red for FC Bayern Munich, blue for TSV 1860 Munich (when playing), and white for the German national team or other events — giving it a striking presence both day and night.

With a seating capacity of about 75,000 for domestic matches (slightly lower for international events governed by UEFA/FIFA regulations), Allianz Arena hosts home games for FC Bayern Munich, one of Europe’s most successful football clubs. It was one of the primary venues for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, including group stage matches, a Round of 16 game, and a quarterfinal.

We have visited the stadium in October 2012 and booked a guided tour. In my opinion the best stadium in Germany.
