Overview
Allianz Arena, Munich: use the official FC Bayern block plan below to locate your ticketed section. The U6 to Fröttmaning and the Esplanade are the usual home-supporter approach; visiting supporters follow a separate north-west route. Check your fixture ticket for the exact gate, block and current entry instructions.

Stadium layout
This FC Bayern block plan shows the numbered sections across three tiers and the standing areas. Use it to identify the section on your ticket, then check your specific entrance, row and seat in the current club guidance. Away allocation can vary by match and competition.
Allianz Arena seating plan: where should you sit?
Quick answer
Central Haupttribüne or Gegengerade
Choose a central, mid-height sector here when you want to follow both goals, player movement and tactical shape without an extreme angle.
Südkurve
This is the more vocal home area. Choose it for supporter culture and noise, accepting a less balanced end or corner view.
A higher central sector on a long side
Prioritise a clean sightline and central position over simply being close to the pitch. Compare the exact sector and row on the official plan.
Official visiting-supporter sector
Visiting fans use a segregated upper allocation; confirm block and Esplanade access.
Allianz Arena stand comparison
| Stand / area | View and feel | Best for | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haupttribüne | A side-on view that makes both goals and the overall shape of the match easier to read. | First visits and the clearest overview | Confirm the exact sector, level, row, access gate and any visibility warning before paying. |
| Gegengerade | A side-on view that makes both goals and the overall shape of the match easier to read. | Balanced view and seat choice | Confirm the exact sector, level, row, access gate and any visibility warning before paying. |
| Südkurve | An end view with a stronger supporter feel and a more dramatic view of attacks toward this goal. | Home atmosphere | Confirm the exact sector, level, row, access gate and any visibility warning before paying. |
| Nordkurve | An end view with a stronger supporter feel and a more dramatic view of attacks toward this goal. | End view; allocation varies | Confirm the exact sector, level, row, access gate and any visibility warning before paying. |
Lower tier or upper tier?
Mid-height on a long side gives the best balance of proximity and overview. Lower rows feel faster and louder; upper rows show shape and both goals more clearly but add stairs and distance.
Restricted-view check: Check the exact sector, row, railings, overhangs, media positions and every visibility warning on the official ticket page. The stand name alone is not enough.
Where do away fans sit at Allianz Arena?
Visiting fans use a segregated upper allocation; confirm block and Esplanade access. The club can alter the allocation, segregation route and entry gate by fixture or competition, so the current ticket and visiting-supporter notice override older plans.

- Save the ticket before travelling. Note the stand, sector or block, row, seat and gate or turnstile.
- Navigate to the correct side. On a busy matchday, walking a full lap can add 15–30 minutes.
- Use the access printed on your ticket. A famous gate or club-store entrance may not be a spectator turnstile.
- Ask a steward as soon as anything is unclear. Do not join a long queue until the stand and gate match your ticket.
How to get to Allianz Arena

Parking near Allianz Arena

The official matchday car parks are P1–P3 beneath the Esplanade. Follow the arena’s motorway and car-park approach for your direction of travel; register your number plate and pay through the current parking system. Exiting after a capacity crowd can take a long time, so do not schedule a tight onward connection. There is no quick drop-off at the stadium gates. Official parking and traffic guidance.
Official car parks
Follow event traffic signs. The arena recommends A9 exit 73 and the lower approach from the south; the upper approach from A99 München-Fröttmaning-Nord serves traffic from the north. Register and pay through the current number-plate system.
North-west guest parking
Visiting supporters have dedicated parking near their entrance. Follow the visiting-fans traffic signs; published vehicle size limits apply.

Food, pubs, club shop and things to do near Allianz Arena
Local matchday
FC Bayern Store
Reach the store via staircase H or lift T4 at Welcome Zone Ost. It normally opens two hours before kick-off and closes two hours after the final whistle on matchdays; check current hours.
Paulaner Fan Treff North and South
Both are in the arena on level 3. North serves bratwurst, currywurst and snacks; South has a wider matchday menu.
Kiosks on levels 2 and 6
Matchday kiosks sell hot food and drinks. The official guide lists vegetarian and vegan choices by kiosk number; check the relevant level for your seat.
Official store, food and kiosk guide. Queues build near kick-off; the Fröttmaning stadium area has fewer independent dining options than central Munich.
Hotels near Allianz Arena
Where to stay
For a city break: choose accommodation around Marienplatz or a station with an easy connection to U6. You can eat in the centre, then travel directly to Fröttmaning. For an early stadium tour: consider a hotel on the northern U6 corridor, but check the particular station and your late return before booking. The arena is set apart from the dense central hotel districts; a room described as “near Allianz Arena” may still require a transit connection or a long walk. Use the MVV journey planner with your actual hotel address and match end time.
Allianz Arena stadium tour
Visit without a match
Book an official Arena Tour or FC Bayern Museum visit for a non-matchday or an eligible matchday slot. Tour availability, route, meeting point and language depend on the selected date; the current booking confirmation controls access. The arena FAQ directs tour guests to the Paulaner Fan Meeting Point North by staircase M, 15 minutes before the booked start. Check the selected product rather than assuming a museum ticket includes a stadium tour. Official tour FAQ.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best seats at Allianz Arena for a first visit?
Start with a central, side-on seat at a comfortable height if you want to follow both goals and the shape of the match. The best choice depends on the actual stand, block and row: compare the seating guidance with the current official seat plan before buying.
Can I see the view from my exact seat at Allianz Arena?
A stadium photograph only helps you orient yourself; it cannot guarantee the view from a particular seat. Use the club's current seat-view or seating tool when available, and check the precise block, row, railings and any warning on the ticket.
Which stand at Allianz Arena has the best atmosphere?
The most vocal area depends on the club and the fixture, so do not choose a stand from its name alone. Compare the stand descriptions and confirm the correct home or away allocation before selecting a ticket.
Is the lower tier or upper tier better at Allianz Arena?
A lower row usually feels closer to the pitch, while a higher central position may make the whole match easier to follow. Tier layouts differ between stadiums; check the official seating plan, stairs and accessibility requirements for your exact seat.
What does restricted view mean at Allianz Arena?
Part of the pitch or a goal may be blocked from some seats by a rail, overhang, structure or the position of the block. Read every restricted-view notice on the ticket and check the exact block and row on the venue's current seat plan before paying.
Where do away supporters sit at Allianz Arena?
Use the visiting-supporter information issued for your fixture and the stand or block printed on your ticket. Away allocations and entrances can change by match or competition; the seating section is orientation, not a substitute for your ticket.
How do I find my gate, block, row and seat at Allianz Arena?
Read your ticket in this order: stand or sector, entrance or turnstile, block, row and seat. Follow the entrance guidance to the right side of the ground and ask a steward before joining a queue if the signs do not match.
How early should I arrive at Allianz Arena for my first match?
Plan to reach the area about 90 minutes before kick-off as a starting point, and allow longer for ticket collection, security, food or a high-demand fixture. Gate opening times vary; check the instructions sent with your ticket and the current matchday notice.
What is the easiest way to get to Allianz Arena from Munich?
Start with the public-transport options in the getting there section, then check live services and the venue's matchday advice. The best route depends on where you start and on temporary road closures, so plan the return trip before leaving.
How do I get away from Allianz Arena after the match?
Decide your station, stop or pickup point before kick-off. Expect the nearest routes to be busy after full-time, follow stewards and use live operator updates rather than assuming the arrival route will work in reverse.

Use the parking guidance to check whether a space must be booked and whether nearby streets have event restrictions. Do not assume street parking is available; confirm any accessible parking arrangements directly with FC Bayern Munich.

Confirm your accessible seat, step-free route, entrance and companion or parking arrangements with the official accessibility team before buying or travelling. Availability and access routes can vary by fixture. Check the official venue information before travelling.
Can I bring a bag into Allianz Arena?
Bag sizes, prohibited items and storage arrangements are venue policies that can change. Check the latest rules from FC Bayern Munich before leaving and bring only what you need; do not assume that bag storage is available. Check the official venue information before travelling.

The nearby section covers local options and landmarks. Opening hours, food availability and whether away supporters can enter a venue can change on matchday, so confirm any place you rely on in advance.
