Getting there
Connections into Munich: Franz Josef Strauss airport
From Munich's main airport you can take the S-Bahn or the Lufthansa Airport Bus to the
Hauptbahnhof (main train station) in the heart of the city. The Jivin' Munich Guide
to Getting Around summarises the options. Both take around 45 minutes but the
S-Bahn runs more often and is a bit cheaper. Take a look at the Munich public transport website
for more information on tickets and prices.
Connections into Munich: Memmingem airport
From Memmingem "Allgäu" Airport you can choose between the
Allgäu-Airport-Express, a direct bus transfer to Munich
main train station (Hauptbahnhof) or taking the bus to Memmingem's train station (ZOB)
and then the train into Munich.
The Allgäu-Airport-Express runs 4-5 times daily to and from Munich: it costs €19.50
(€15 if you pre-book on the internet)
with a journey time of 1hr 35 mins.
Alternatively, there are
buses hourly (lines 2, 810/811) from the airport to Memmingem train station (the ZOB)
- the fare is €2.50 and the journey lasts 12 mintues. Alternatively take a taxi.
From ZOB
trains run hourly to Munich. The faster (and more expensive)
ICE trains do the run in just over an hour and 15 minutes. The regional (RE/RB) trains take
around one hour 40 minutes - but you can use a Bayern-Ticket which costs just €29 for up to 5 people in a group (or €21 if you're travelling alone).
