Apologies if this has been posted many times before, but I was lucky enough to get UCL tix for our game against Copenhagen. I will be traveling from the US and it will be my first time at the Allianz. Will there be any activities around the arena before the game? Any tips I should know for my first trip to the Allianz? Mia san mia!
Hi i am from munich and maybe i can help you a bit.
Since match day is at the 29th, taking pictures of the classic Marienplatz is a bit hard, since the christmas market is opened 2 days before. If you like christmas, go eat some gingerbread or drink some hot wine there. But be aware of pickpockets.
Take the U6 to frötmanning to get to the Stadium, the metro is very crowded and hot, so maybe undress a bit before going in. It is btw very Hard to not get the right metro from the marienplatz since it is the Station where most fans enter the metro.
You will find alkohol in every normal supermarket, try to avoid Aldi or penny for beer (they only sell bad beer) go to Edeka or rewe. If you want to drink good beer i can recommend “Augustiner” or “tegernseer”. And if you dont like beer or want something sugary defenetly try “paulaner spezi”. Spezi and beer are 2 drinks famous for Bavaria
Go to the fcbayern museum but try to avoid it on match day.
Some Tips for Germany I think can be useful. -Prices in supermarket have tax is included -Drinks in supermarkets costs because of the Pfandsystem up to 25 Cents more than labled -Do not throw away Bottles or cans, but place it next to the trash bin because of the Pfand system -You can drink in public -Smoking at the seats is not allowed but if you want to, go inside there it is tolerated. -Do not be afraid to talk to people, I had a lot of nice conversations with people not from germany.
