Munich City Guide - Key Attractions 2

Allianz Arena
Opened in 2005 prior to the German hosting of the 2006 World Cup football tournament in which it featured as a leading match venue, the spectacular 69,000 capacity Allianz Arena replaced the Olympic Stadium as home for Munich's two leading clubs, Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich. Located in the Fröttmaning district, about 15 minutes by S-Bahn from Marienplatz, it offers behind-the-scenes tours on non-match days.

Englischer Garten (English Garden)
The English Garden is the largest urban park in Germany, and is a quiet oasis in the heart of busy Munich. Attractions include the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower), with its great beer garden (one of the focal points of the Oktoberfest), the Japanisches Teehaus (Japanese Teahouse) and the Monopteros, a Greek-style temple. The Kleinhesselhoher See (a lake in the centre of the park) and the Amphitheater offer lots of activities in the summer months. The Haus der Kunst (home of the State Gallery of Modern Art), which hosts excellent temporary exhibitions, and the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum (Bavarian National Museum) are located on Prinzregentenstrasse, on the southern edge of the park.
