Brats, delicious German beer, electric atmosphere and fantastic entertainment on the pitch, all contribute to an incredible football culture in Deutschland.

The stadiums in Germany are some of the most modern in all of Europe. If you’re considering attending a game on your next trip, below are the top stadiums with the best atmosphere:

Allianz Arena – Bayern München

The Allianz Arena is also on my “Must Visit Football Stadiums in Europe” list and is the perfect home for Bayern Munich. This incredibly large stadium seats up to 75,000 people for Bundesliga matches. It’s been the host of countless World Club and Champions League matches as well. The atmosphere is outstanding and if you’re in Munich for the Octoberfest (Wiesn), a beer festival and Bayern Munich game are a perfect combo. Trust me…
