No football trip to Munich is in fact complete without booking a tour of the stadium. During the “CombiTour”, you’re taken on a tour through this club’s fantastic past. You’re led around by a trained guide. You follow a predetermined route of around 45 minutes, along which you can check out features such as the players’ changing rooms, you walk through the players’ tunnel (impressive), dugout, the press box from reporting is performed, you get a glimpse of the VIP boxes, and of course you visit the museum. There are sometimes queues and it might be half an hour before you can start the tour. There is no specific time associated with the tour, and you can spend just as long as you want, up to three hours before kick-off.
Please note: the museum closes three hours before the match starts on Bayern match days, and it might be the case that certain elements cannot be accessed. We therefore recommend doing the tour on a day other than match days.
A normal tour costs €19. For children aged 6 to 13, the price is €11. Younger children (aged up to 5) can enter free of charge.
Before attending a Bayern Munich match, it’s nice to go for a bite to eat and a drink in the area surrounding the Allianz Arena.

The Paulaner supporters’ bar is the place to come for a drink before, during and after the match. It is named after the beer brand. You’ll find these bars in both the north and south stands of the Allianz Arena, meaning a refreshment among the Bayern fans is never far away. If you’re feeling hungry, take along a tasty Bavarian speciality with you such as a pretzel, roast pork or meat loaf.
Also found on Bayern Munich’s grounds is the Arena Bistro; A cosy and inviting place for kicking off your match day with a sandwich or a pizza. You’ll also find a wide variety of beers here. The bistro is open daily, from 9:00 to 23:00.
Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by a group of MTV 1879 Munich sports-club members. This was done because they’d got tired of their own club, and wanted to form a new, more successful club together. Enter Bayern Munich.
This young club had already achieved its first success in 1926, after winning the South Germany Championship. It was only then that Bayern Munich really started to be viewed as formidable competition. The club went on to clinch its first Germany national title six years later in 1932, by beating Eintracht Frankfurt.
From the 1960s onwards, Bayern Munich boasted a strong team featuring legendary players such as Sepp Maier, Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer. Bayern won title after title and championship after championship during this period. Because the team had had such success in the 1960s and 70s, they were considered one of Germany’s most successful football clubs. ‘Der Rekordmeister’ (The Record Champion) is now their famous nickname, referring to the fact Bayern is by far Germany’s top football club.
The logo of Bayern Munich underwent its first serious facelift back in 1954, with the colours of the Bavaria region also first being introduced at that time. This is why Bayern fans are sometimes known as “Bavarians”.
The Emblem has been updated since then – the last time being in 2017 – although the core remains unchanged. It’s still round in shape, and the colours are by and large the same: blue, white and red. What’s different with the new logo is that the surrounding red line is now blue. The line around the logo was still red in 1954.
Bayern fans are usually referred to as ‘Die Roten’ in Germany, literally meaning The Reds. The root of this is simply down to the Bayern Munich club shirt being red. Bayern was also sometimes known as FC Hollywood in the distant past. This is due to the club lacking discipline at the time and had internal issues, with Germany’s tabloids then coming up with the name.
Munich is a large city that’s brimming with culture. Fantastic for football, but also the perfect choice for a city break or long weekend. The seasons, the inviting pavement cafés and beer cellars, while the icing on the cake are the many restaurants where you can sample typical German dishes, enhancing an amazing experience. German cuisine always has something in store, such as a currywurst washed down with a large beer. That means if you’re visiting the city for a FC Bayern Munich match, there’s also plenty of things to do for the rest of your stay. These are our favourite hangouts in Munich.
