Highlights & Events 2026/2027

A world-class sporting event: the largest and most important football league in the world, the US National Football League NFL, is coming to Munich for three regular season games! The first game with the visiting team of the Detroit Lions will be played November 15, 2026. The venue is the Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern Munich.

Starting in late November, the Christmas markets—which invite visitors everywhere in Germany to enjoy an atmospheric stroll—are a highlight for young and old alike. Each Christmas market has its own distinctive charm. Whether traditional, medieval, romantic, or nostalgic—they all enchant visitors with fairy-tale lighting, culinary delights, and a festive atmosphere.

How about a river cruise on the Rhine, the Danube, or the Main to visit the most beautiful Christmas markets along the river?
