Allianz Arena tour Munich: €25 with the FC Bayern Museum, €19 without a guide, and book ahead

💡 The Short Version: The Arena Tour with the FC Bayern Museum is €25 and takes about 2.5 hours: 60 minutes with a guide, then 1 to 1.5 hours in the museum. The museum alone is €12, and the Arena View with an audio guide (not a guided tour) is €19. Book ahead: on many days nothing is sold on the day. On match days the museum needs a match ticket as well. Tours run on non-match days from about 10:00 to 17:30, and gather 15 minutes early. Or book a tour: the museum’s own Arena View ticketad is €19 (GetYourGuide), and the city bus tour with the Arena Tourad is from €51.

1. The Arena Tour (60 minutes). A trained guide takes you through the middle tier in the heart of the Südkurve, the lower tier of the main stand, the press conference area, the changing rooms, the players’ tunnel and the pitch perimeter with the dugouts. The guide also explains the outer façade. The tour says individual areas can close at short notice for safety reasons or events.
2. The FC Bayern Museum (1 to 1.5 hours). The club’s history from its founding in 1900 to today, with trophies, exhibits and interactive media, laid out over 3,300 square metres. The trophy room and the Hall of Fame are in it.
3. The Arena View. The north stand’s lower tier at your own pace, with an audio guide. It is the cheaper way to see the stadium and the museum, without the changing rooms and the tunnel.

What to skip: the Arena View if you want the tunnel and the dugouts, because only the Arena Tour goes there. The order that works: for tours starting from 16:15, the museum visit has to come first.

Hours, rules and getting there

• Closed: most tours run every day of the year except 25 December, 31 December and 1 January.
• Match days: the museum can be visited only with a ticket for the match plus a museum ticket. Special matches, such as national-team games, can have their own hours.
• Gathering: be at your waiting area, usually the Paulaner Fantreff North, with your ticket 15 minutes before the start.
• Footwear: you walk a considerable distance, with stairs.
• Bags: only small items go in the cloakroom. Buggies cannot go on the tours, and dogs are not allowed, with a waiting area left of the north entrance.
• Children under 14 can join an Arena Tour only with an adult. Photographs are allowed, and commercial recording is not.
• Getting there: the arena is at Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5, in Fröttmaning. From Marienplatz take the U6 towards Garching-Forschungszentrum to Fröttmaning. On non-match days the north coach park takes cars, at €5 with the first 45 minutes free.
• The one thing that ruins a visit: turning up without a booking. On many days it is not possible to buy on the day.

The BMW Welt and museum and the Olympiapark are the other stadium-side bookings, and the Olympic stadium is closed for renovation. What to book in Munich has the closed days for every sight, and Best museums in Munich puts the FC Bayern Museum beside the others. Munich City Pass or Munich Card says the City Pass includes the FC Bayern Museum. 3 days in Munich places the tour in a plan.
