Where Is Allianz Arena: Getting There and Seeing Inside
Where Allianz Arena is: in Fröttmaning, in the north of Munich, at Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5, and the U-Bahn line U6 is the usual way to reach it. This guide shows the way, tells you who plays there and explains how to see inside on a day without a match.
Where is Allianz Arena? It is in Fröttmaning, a district in the north of Munich, and that is a long way from the Old Town. The ride from the centre is short, and the U6 line makes it easy. Unlike the Munich Glockenspiel in the Old Town, you do not pass the arena on a city walk, so plan it as its own trip.
| Step | What to do | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Find the arena on the map | It is in the north, not the centre |
| 2 | Ride the U6 to Fröttmaning | Check the match calendar first |
| 3 | Choose a museum ticket or a stadium tour | Neither is open to the pitch on match days |
| 4 | Know what a match day changes | Trains and paths fill up |
Step 1: Where is the Allianz Arena on the map
The Allianz Arena stands at Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5, 80939 Munich, in Fröttmaning in the north of the city, according to the City of Munich's page on the arena. It is the home of FC Bayern Munich, the club the city calls its record champion. The outside is made of thin film panels, 0.2 mm thick, and the city says the arena glows in the club's colours. The film panels are lit by LED lights (light-emitting diodes), and the club's page says the arena glows red for FC Bayern matches and white for Germany national team matches. Blue was the colour of TSV 1860 München, which has left the arena.
Key Takeaway The Allianz Arena is at Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5 in Fröttmaning, in the north of Munich, not in the Old Town.
A stadium is a good sight even before you step inside.
Step 2: Get there on the U-Bahn
The usual way is the U-Bahn line U6 to Fröttmaning station, then a walk to the arena. The city's page sends you to the MVG journey planner for the exact route, so enter your hotel as the start. In short: take the U6 to Fröttmaning station, then walk to the arena. MVG is Munich's city transport company, and its planner is at mvg.de. The city's page does not give a walking time or a ticket price, so check both in the planner. The Munich public transport guide explains the tickets.
Pro Tip Enter "Fröttmaning" as your destination in the MVG planner, not "Allianz Arena", to get the station and the line. The planner also shows today's route from your hotel, since the city's page gives no walking time or ticket price.
Step 3: Choose how to see inside
On days without a match, the city's page lists opening hours of 10:00 to 18:00. Two things are on offer. The museum is the FC Bayern Museum, and the club's own pages describe a stadium tour. Read about the Allianz Arena tour to see what it includes and how it differs from a plain ticket.
You can also buy an entry ticket. The FC Bayern Museum with arena view is from €19 per person. It includes the view from the north stand, the museum and an audio guide on your phone. It has no tour guide, and it does not include the locker rooms, the mixed zone, the players' tunnel or the pitch. The time needed is 1.5 to 3 hours. Free cancellation is possible up to 24 hours before. Both tickets are sold by FC Bayern Muenchen AG, the club itself. They are rated 4.5 from 1,254 reviews and 4.6 from 222 reviews. The listing gives no meeting point, pickup or group size, so you go to the arena address in Step 1 on your own.
If you only want the museum, the FC Bayern Museum entry ticket is from €12 per person. The museum has 3,300 square metres of exhibits, a trophy room and a Hall of Fame. Prices and ratings as shown on GetYourGuide on 28 October 2026.

| Visit | What you get | Guide | Pitch access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Museum entry | Museum, trophy room, Hall of Fame | No | No |
| Museum with arena view | Museum plus north stand view, audio guide | No | No |
| Club stadium tour | Inside the stadium, see the club's page | Check the club | Check the club |
Step 4: Know what a match day changes
On a match day, plan for crowds on the U6 and on the paths to the stadium. The tickets above are not matches. A match ticket is a different thing, and you buy it from the club. We could not read the club's pages, so we cannot say which visits close on match days. Look at the match calendar before you pick a date. For size, the club's page gives 75,024 seats for domestic matches and 70,000 for international matches.
The visit is wrong for some people. If you want to stand on the pitch or see the locker rooms, the entry tickets do not cover that. The arena is also a trip out of the centre, so skip it if you have only one short day. In that case the Olympiapark is another sports site, and the Munich tours overview lists other ways to spend the day.
Pick your Allianz Arena visit
Going yourself means the U6 to Fröttmaning and a walk to Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5. You pick your own day and pace, and you pay only for the entry. Neither the city nor the listings publish the walk time or the fare, so the MVG planner has to tell you. Both tickets work this way: they are sold by FC Bayern Muenchen AG, the club itself, and listed on GetYourGuide, and they have no guide. The museum entry is from €12 per person, and the museum with the arena view is from €19 per person, with an audio guide on your phone and 1.5 to 3 hours for the arena-view visit. The ratings are 4.5 from 1,254 reviews and 4.6 from 222 reviews. The listings give no meeting point, pickup or group size, so you meet nobody and the effort is yours. Both leave out the locker rooms, the mixed zone, the players' tunnel and the pitch, and both can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before. A tour would add a guide, and a stadium tour from the club goes deeper into the building, but no official page we could read gives its price, group size or cancellation terms, so check the club's page before you pay. Choose the do-it-yourself ticket if you want the lowest price, your own pace and a flexible date. Choose the club's stadium tour if you want to see more of the building than the exhibits, and you accept a fixed time and a price you must check first.

Conclusion
The Allianz Arena is in the north of Munich, in Fröttmaning, and the U6 line brings you to its door. Check the match calendar before you go, and then pick the visit that suits you. These tickets have no guide, so you travel to the arena on your own either way. The museum ticket is the cheap choice. The club's own stadium tour goes deeper into the building, but we could not read its price or details, so check the club's page before you pay for it.
