World Cup Schedule.

Allianz Arena, Munich

The 66,000 capacity Allianz Arena hosted the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 World Cup Finals.

Unlike the Olympic stadium, there is no running track and no curve at the ends of the ground so fans are actually closer to the field of play.

Munich Attractions:

Historic Architecture:
Make sure to visit the Isartor, Karlstor and Sendlinger Tor - the three town gates remaining in Munich.

Marienplatz:
Named after the column of the Virgin Mary at its centre, the square is famous for its Neo-Gothic Town Hall (Altes Rathaus). Easily reached on foot from the station, this is where the U6 leaves for the stadium.

Eating in Munich:

The Ratskeller:
Popular restaurant located near the Rathaus on Marienplatz.

Munich Menu:
It is never easy to understand the menu of a traditional Bavarian restaurant. Unfortunately, Bavarian restaurants do not usually provide bilingual menus, only those affiliated to a hotel usually do. However, that should not deter you from trying Bavaria's unique cuisine - this little glossary can help you to find your personal favourite.

Drinking in Munich:

The Hofbräuhaus:
When it comes to drinking beer in Munich, this is the number one address; just aroung the corner from Marienplatz, at Platzl.

Munich Bars:
In Munich the atmosphere of the many bars differs immensely. Some are cafés and bars at the same time and make for a more relaxed, quiet evening. Others are stylish meeting points for the rich and beautiful.

Munich Beergardens:
The tradition has spread all over Germany, but you won't get the genuine thing anywhere else but in Munich: Biergärten.

If you'll be doing a lot of beer drinking in Munich, you might want to pack a copy of The Beer Drinker's Guide to Munich.
