Munich Airport
Munich International Airport
Munich International Airport (IATA: MUC; ICAO: EDDM)
is the second biggest German airport and has two terminals.
Terminal 2 is used by Lufthansa and its partner airlines
from Star Alliance. All other airlines use the older Terminal
1. The Munich airport is located outside of Munich in a northeastern
suburb. Due to the increased number of flights, the airport
has expanded and now offers connections to most domestic airports
in Germany, as well as many international airports elsewhere.
Intercontinental destinations include Atlanta, Charlotte,
New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Delhi, Mumbai, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo,
Seoul, Dubai, Doha, Bangkok and many others. If you are unable
to fly to Munich directly, you can arrange a transfer via
Frankfurt. Flight time from Frankfurt to Munich is about 35
minutes.
Munich Airport has been named the winner of the "Best
Airport in Europe" award for the third year in a row
in an international survey of close to eight million passengers
worldwide. Passengers also ranked Munich #4 in the worldwide
rankings behind Asian hubs.
The airport connects to central Munich by S-Bahn (commuter
train) on the S1 and S8 line. The journey (single) costs €9.20
(or €10.40 for a day pass) or €18.80 for a partner ticket
which is valid for upto five people, a train runs every 5
to 20 minutes and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the
central station. For more information see the get around section.
Lufthansa also offers an hourly bus to/from the main train
station that is comparably priced (travel time can vary as
subject to traffic).
Most major European cities connect to Munich by rail. Munich's
Hauptbahnhof (main station) is conveniently located in
the center of Munich. The Deutsche Bahn uses Munich as
one of its main German hubs and has good connections to neighboring
countries (Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovenia
and Italy) and to all southern German cities.
The main station is west of Marienplatz (two S-Bahn stations)
or a short walk away from the city center. The main station
also has a traveler-friendly infrastructure including several
restaurants, a tourist's bureau and a Deutsche Bahn ticket
and travel agency office.
Highways from many directions lead to Munich, however they
often get congested at peak times and on weekends, especially
during the ski season. For day trips to Munich, it's probably
best to leave your car in a Park&Ride car park (see the
Get around section).
