The Munich city centre is quite extensive, in consequence of which, the starting point from which it's best to get to the airport is considered to be the main train station of Munich (German name: München Hauptbahnhof). Central railway station receives trains long trains and short-haul. The station is quite large, but it is quite easy and intuitive. It is the largest of the three stations.

Train station Munich is somewhere in the 40-kilometers from the airport of Strauss and in the heart of the city, within walking distance from the Theresienwiese, where every year is held the world famous Oktoberfest beer festival.

For taxi is enough to tell us your flight details!

The most convenient way of independent movement in Germany is a car. You can rent a car in advance, even from home, the car will be waiting for you upon arrival.

Train (train)

One of the easiest ways to get to the airport from the city centre of Munich or from the airport to the city centre, there is no difference is on the train.

The advantage of trains is that they travel without traffic jams. Travel time to the main station and 40-45 minutes to the Marienplatz station (Marienplatz) a little longer and to East station (Ostbahnhof) is almost an hour away.

The train runs from early morning until late at night, the last train leaves around 1:30 in the morning. During the day trains run every 20 minutes.

In the city trains depart from the main railway station and arrive at it. Note that trains and buses make stops around the city, so it is better to specify in advance on the city map and to know where to go or to sit down.

Munich airport is connected to downtown by two lines of suburban trains (S-Bahn) S1 and S8. Both lines pass through the city's Central station: the main train station, Marienplatz, Karlsplatz. If you are going from the airport to the city centre, there is no difference on what line to take, in any case, you will be at the Central stations of the city.

But here you need to be careful (there are caveats)! If you go to the airport station on line S1, then the station Neufahrn first car off and he goes to the station Freising, and for the second car directly at the airport. True or not, we don't know when and with what frequency do such things, do not know. However, if it happens, on the scoreboard before landing will be the announcement, of course, in English or German. Therefore, we do not risk, and always sat in the second car. If you went in the first car and noticed that you started to unhook, then just leave the first car and change the second.

Airport access to trains easy to find by following the red DB (Deutsche Bahn) or green S-Bahn signs.

Following from the city to the airport, just need to go to the platform and the path specified in the ticket.
