Transport from MUC Airport.
There are 3 ways to get to and from Munich Airport - by taxi, train and bus.
Taxi.
The journey from the Airport to the city center can be confusing for a first timer. So if you are not up to figuring out train routes, a taxi is the most convenient yet pricy way to get to the city. You can find plenty of taxis just outside the terminal ready to go.
Train.
Depending on the ticket you buy, you should expect to pay around 11.50 per person. Each one comes every twenty minutes, meaning trains into the city are only ten minutes apart.
If your final destination is the Munich Central station, then just hop onto whichever train comes first.
Lufthansa Express Bus.
Lufthansa Express buses leave from 4 stops at the Munich airport every 15 minutes, and the journey takes 25 minutes to Munich Schwabing and 45 minutes to Munich Central Station. A one-way ticket is only €10.50 per person (compared to €11.60 for the S-Bahn train ticket) and €17 roundtrip.
Best time to travel.
Most people travel to Munich between April and May, from September to October and also in December. That is when the city welcomes most of its visitors.
