The Allianz Arena sits on the northern edge of Munich at Fröttmaning, surrounded by parkland rather than hotels – so the usual matchday question is not “which hotel is next to the stadium” but “which hotel puts me on the U6 line.” Get that right and the arena is an easy 16-minute ride from the city centre. This guide covers the closest hotels in Munich’s north, the best Old Town bases, and how matchday transport works.
Quick answer: No hotel is within easy walking distance of the Allianz Arena. Stay either in Munich North/Schwabing (Ameron Motorworld, ibis Garching, Premier Inn Schwabing – all about 2–3 miles away with quick U-Bahn access) or in the Old Town near Marienplatz for a direct U6 ride to Fröttmaning.

Getting there, shuttles & parking
Matchday transport is simple: take the U6 toward Garching-Forschungszentrum and get off at Fröttmaning, then walk the esplanade to the arena (about 10–15 minutes with the crowd). From Marienplatz the ride is about 16 minutes; from Hauptbahnhof, change at Marienplatz. A match ticket does not include public transport, so buy an MVV ticket or day pass. Trains are packed before and after the match – allow extra time. Driving is possible (the arena has large garages) but queues to exit are long; most fans take the U6.
Matchday tips
- Check the kickoff time before booking late trains or flights out – evening matches end after 22:00 and the U6 is slammed for an hour.
- Buy an MVV day pass if you are also sightseeing; it covers the Fröttmaning trip.
- Hotel prices spike for big European nights and derbies – book refundable rates early.
- The arena esplanade is exposed; bring a jacket outside summer.
