Munich, beyond football: Bavarian historic center
Although the final is the main event, traveling to Munich is much more than just watching a football match . This Bavarian city is one of Germany's gems , with a charming combination of history, architecture, brewing tradition, and vibrant urban life .
The beating heart of Munich lies in its Old Town , and its epicenter is the majestic Marienplatz , a square that has been a meeting point for locals and visitors for centuries. There you can see the Marian Column (Mariensäule) , erected in the 17th century as thanks for divine protection during the Thirty Years' War.
It's impossible not to marvel at the imposing New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) , a neo-Gothic masterpiece with its famous carillon ( Glockenspiel ) that comes to life several times a day with moving figures. Opposite it, the Old Town Hall reminds you of the city's medieval roots, while at the Fischbrunnen fountain, locals celebrate traditions that combine water, superstition, and beer.
Very close by you'll find the Hofbräuhaus , the most famous brewery in Germany and probably the world. Founded in 1589, it's a temple where you can drink an authentic Maß (liter mug) of Bavarian beer, surrounded by music, traditional costumes, and a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere.
Other essentials: Nymphenburg and Theatinerkirche
If you want to swap the roar of the stadium for the gentle sounds of gardens and fountains, don't miss Nymphenburg Palace , a Baroque residence that was once home to the kings of Bavaria. Surrounded by a vast park with lakes and sculptures , this palace allows you to stroll through sumptuous halls, admire its symmetrical architecture, and feel like you belong to the nobility of the 17th century.
In Odeonsplatz stands a Baroque gem that surprises all who visit: the Theatine Church (Theatinerkirche) , with its vibrant yellow facade and a dome reminiscent of Italian basilicas . Built in the 17th century as thanks for the birth of a royal heir, it is one of Munich's most beautiful churches, with its ornate white interior.
