I went to Munich in December 2023 and December 2024, by coach from Moselle, for the Bavarian Christmas market atmosphere and a Bayern game. An elegant city, full of good food and passionate about football.

What to see in Munich

  • Marienplatz and the town hall, Munich’s historic heart.
  • The main Christmas market on Marienplatz, in December.
  • The Olympic Park and the 1972 Olympic Stadium, with the SAP Garden next door.
  • The BMW Museum and BMW Welt, for car lovers.

Bayern at the Allianz Arena

Watching Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena is something special: the stadium lights up red and the atmosphere is impressive.

Where to eat in Munich

  • The Bavarian breakfast: Weisswurst, pretzel and sweet mustard.
  • The Christmas market stalls for mulled wine and grilled sausages.

Practical info

  • Public transport serves the Olympic Park and the Allianz Arena well.
  • December is perfect for the atmosphere, but it is cold: wrap up warm.
