Football fascination twice over: with the Arena Guides you get a look behind the scenes of one of Europe's most modern football stadiums, feel the atmosphere walking through the players' tunnel and learn exciting details about the unique construction.
Afterwards you dive into the world of the record champions at the FC Bayern Museum, the largest club museum in Germany – a journey through time from the club's founding in 1900 to the latest triumphs.
Get to know the FCB legends in the Hall of Fame and marvel at the many league and cup titles.
