Allianz Arena
The world's first stadium with a full color-changing exterior — 75,000 seats wrapped in inflated ETFE plastic panels that can change color across the entire facade.

No other stadium on earth changes color the way this one does. Bayern Munich have filled it since the 2005-06 season, it hosted both the 2012 and 2025 Champions League Finals, and in 2022 it became the first venue in Germany to stage a regular-season NFL game. The FC Bayern Erlebniswelt museum has been inside since 2012, making it worth visiting even without a match ticket.
What to look for
- The inflated ETFE plastic panels covering the entire facade — look closely at how individual cushions catch the light
- FC Bayern Erlebniswelt museum, open inside the arena since 2012
- The stadium's position on the flat Fröttmaning Heath at Munich's northern edge, which makes the building read clearly against the sky from a distance
Located at Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5 in Schwabing-Freimann. During UEFA or FIFA events the arena uses the name Fußball Arena München because governing bodies prohibit sponsorship branding from non-partners.
