The pictured guide of Munich for the casual soccer and rock’n roll fan

By |

Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is an ideal destination for fans of soccer and rock ‘n’ roll like me.

Hard Rock Cafe Munich – their sign has no guitar

Funny sign on the way to HR Cafe: Private Property - musicians prohibited, day and night.

An easy transition from Rock'n Roll to soccer: a few yards away from Olympia Halle is the Olympic Stadium, former home of Bayern Munich.

I went there on a Wednesday morning: tours available (in English as well) between 10 AM and 2 PM. Entrance is 19 Euro.

At the end of the guided arena tour, the same ticket will get you in the Bayern Munich museum. This is the (quite humble) board room from their old arena, recreated inside the museum.
A reminder of the sustained power of Bayern Munich: the trophies collected in the exceptional year 2013, including the Champions League.
Allianz Arena is the property of Bayern Munich, but second division club TSV 1860 calls it home as well. Their colors are white-blue, Bavaria's national colors.

More travel notes for the music lover:

Cambridge (the pictured guide for the casual Pink Floyd fan).

Toronto – the Mount Pleasant cemetery

Brussels – the art museum tour with a twist
