Ernest Hemingway once said, "You do not even go somewhere else, I tell you there's nothing like Munich. Everything else is a waste of time in Germany."

Get in and out

Welcome to Munich Airport! Did you know that you can easily reach central Munich from here? Just hop on the suburban train (S-Bahn) on the S1 or S8 line. The S1 takes you through the northern and western districts, while the S8 serves the eastern districts. But be careful, the S1 line splits at Neufahrn station. The front half goes to Freising, while the rear continues to the airport. So make sure you're on the right part of the train! Now, let's talk tickets. In August 2018, a single ticket cost 11.20, a day pass was 13 (valid until 6AM the next day), and an MVV Partner Ticket for up to five adults or ten children was 23.90. Trains run every 5-20 minutes, and the journey takes about 40 minutes. Remember, the train system here works on an honor system, so always have a validated ticket to avoid a fine of 60 (2016). Looking for a cheaper option? You can buy a Tageskarte Auenraum (day pass for the city outskirts) for 6.60 and then an additional single ticket (2.80 per person) for the inner city. If you're traveling from the airport, just validate the second ticket in Feldmoching station. If you're going from downtown to the airport, validate both tickets. Another option is to use the 'MVG Fahrinfo' app and buy three tickets. This trick works on the S8 line and costs only 5.50. It may sound a bit complicated, but it's the cheapest way to travel to and from the airport. Please note that the ticket zone system has changed since December 15th, 2019. Check out the new zoning scheme on the MVV website for updated information. And if you prefer a more convenient option, Lufthansa runs an Airport Bus to and from Munich Central Station, starting at 10.50. Taxis are also available, but they cost around 60 and take about 40 minutes. Safe travels!
