Bavaria Filmstadt

Bavaria Filmstadt is a film park with multiple buildings, movie sets, and production studios spread across the grounds near Munich. The different areas are connected by paved paths and feature various attractions to explore.

The park was founded in 1981 as an expansion of the Bavaria Film Studios, where earlier classics like Das Boot and The Neverending Story had been produced. This launch marked the beginning of offering filmmaking as an experience for visitors.

The park displays how German films and television shows are made through hands-on examples. Visitors encounter original sets from well-known productions and learn about the techniques and craftsmanship required to bring scenes to life.

The park is accessible by public transport via Grosshesselohe Isartalbahnhof station, or you can drive and use the parking facilities on-site. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking around the grounds.

Visitors can step into actual film scenes using original props and equipment. One standout experience is the chance to ride the famous dragon from The Neverending Story or board the submarine from Das Boot.
