Places to see beautiful fireworks in the Bavarian capital, Munich (Deutsch)


Munich. There are many spots in the Bavarian capital that offer a fantastic view of the upcoming New Year's Eve fireworks. Where can we find them? We've compiled a few here. When midnight strikes in Munich, all the partygoers want to get outside. But there are also rooftop terraces (like at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof or the Mandarin), many parks, bridges over the Isar River, gentle hills, and large open areas that invite you to enjoy the fireworks – including, of course, the Olympic Hill and the area around the Angel of Peace. Anyone planning their own fireworks display should know the following for New Year's Eve: IMPORTANT - In the city center: Fireworks are strictly prohibited on the entire Middle Ring Road; in many areas of the city center, a complete ban on fireworks is also in effect – this includes the entire Marienplatz, Stachus, the pedestrian zone on Kaufingerstraße, the romantic Viktualienmarkt, and several side streets, which will be clearly marked. Fireworks are also prohibited in the English Garden due to fire safety and nature conservation reasons. The same applies to Nymphenburg Palace Park and the Residenz Courtyards! Please inform yourself in advance so that everyone can enjoy a pleasant New Year's Eve. Information – including a city map – is available, for example, at www.muenchen.de/silvester

 Big New Year's Eve Party at Winter Tollwood - Fireworks below the Bavaria statue on the Theresienwiese

The Tollwood New Year's Eve party features bands, mulled wine, and champagne. As the stroke of midnight approaches, head to the Theresienwiese for a breathtaking view of the New Year's Eve sky above the city. A great and popular spot is at Theresienhöhe and around the Bavaria statue.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be no fireworks display at midnight on the Tollwood Winter Festival grounds. Fireworks are not permitted.


On New Year's Eve you can also fall into each other's arms at the Angel of Peace

In addition to the many Isar bridges like at the German Museum or the Zoo in Thalkirchen, you can enjoy a great view over the Lehel Munich from the Friedensengel. This is where all of Haidhausen and Bogenhausen meet. The view over Munich is breathtaking here, especially on New Year's Eve.

As always, the view from Olympiaberg over the state capital Munich is beautiful, and not just during the day

It takes a while to get to the Olympiaberg, but you can get close with the U3 and it's only a few hundred meters until you're on the hill. The Olympic Park is one of Munich's most popular New Year's Eve locations.

At the Allianz Arena we go up the Fröttmaninger Berg


The path is steep to Fröttmaninger Berg and the view over the state capital is overwhelming. FC Bayern's stadium - the Allianz Arena - completes the backdrop

And then there is the Olypark - better known as Westpark


The Olypark is as flat as the Theresienwiese and offers a good view of the fireworks. By the way, Café Gans am Wasser is also open on New Year's Eve and you can celebrate with mulled wine and good music.

Reichenbach Bridge - Thalkirchner Bridge - Wittelsbach Bridge


New Year's Eve is always very loud and colorful on the Wittelsbacher Bridge and the Reichenbach Bridge. At the zoo, on the other hand, at the Thalkirchner Bridge, things are a little more dignified.

See the New Year's Eve fireworks from the Hackerbrücke

The fireworks from Hackerbrücke offer a view over the train tracks and the city panorama with the Frauenkirche in the distance.

Celebrate at Königsplatz

The Königsplatz is quite large, so that everyone is well spread out in the backdrop of the museums and the fireworks can be watched well here.

The famous Luitpold Hill invites you to watch fireworks


Let's enjoy the 360 ​​degree view over the state capital Munich from the Luitpold Hill. If you don't know this "mountain" in the park of the same name, you can come here on New Year's Eve...

From Schwabing you can quickly reach the Monopteros in the English Garden

From the hill of Monopteros you can see the old town towards the Hofgarten and the entire English Garden. The Greek-style temple of the gods stands, so to speak, in the middle of the state capital Munich. You can celebrate and be amazed while sitting or standing on the wonderful stairs.
