Transportation and ground access
The airport is connected to central Munich by S-Bahn lines S1 and S8, buses and taxis. Regional rail connections, car rental services and road access to destinations across Bavaria are also available.
Journeys to central Munich generally take approximately 35–45 minutes, depending on traffic and the destination.
Taxis are a convenient choice for travelling directly to accommodation, particularly when carrying large suitcases or heading to destinations that require transfers on public transportation.
The following services operate from this station:
- S-Bahn S1: connects the airport with Munich via the western part of the city, passing through Moosach and other metropolitan stations.
- S-Bahn S8: connects the airport with central Munich via the eastern part of the city, passing through Ostbahnhof.
- ÜFEX (Überregionaler Flughafenexpress): a regional express train providing connections to Freising, Landshut, Regensburg and Nuremberg, among other destinations.
The S1 and S8 lines reach München Hauptbahnhof, Munich’s main railway station, in approximately 40 minutes. Together, they normally provide a departure every ten minutes.
The two lines follow different routes through the city, so passengers should choose the service that provides the most convenient connection to their destination.
The airport also has a station called Besucherpark, mainly serving administrative facilities, cargo areas and parking facilities farther from the passenger terminals.
Main services include:
- Lufthansa Express Bus: connects the airport with München Hauptbahnhof via München Nord (Schwabing). The journey to the main railway station takes approximately 45 minutes.
- Route 635: connects the airport with Freising, where passengers can transfer to other rail and bus services.
- FlixBus: provides long-distance connections to destinations in Germany and other European countries, normally using stops 21 and 22 near Terminal 2.
The Lufthansa Express Bus normally operates every 20 minutes and provides an alternative to the S-Bahn for reaching Munich.
Regional bus services also connect the airport with other destinations across Bavaria. Stop locations and service frequencies vary by route.
Rental companies operating at the airport include Sixt, Avis/Budget, Europcar, Hertz and Enterprise.
Vehicles are collected from designated parking areas assigned by each company. To return a rental car, drivers should follow the Rental Car Return signs within the airport complex.
Renting a car is particularly useful for exploring Bavaria, travelling to the Alps and visiting destinations outside the Munich metropolitan area.
Getting between terminals
Terminals 1 and 2 are located on opposite sides of the Munich Airport Center (MAC), which provides shopping facilities, transportation services and pedestrian access between the two terminals.
The transfer procedure depends on which part of the airport you need to reach:
- Between T1 and T2 through public areas: passengers can walk between the terminals by following the signposted routes through the MAC area.
- Connecting flights between T1 and T2: complimentary airside shuttle buses provide transfers within the transit area, with a journey time of approximately 5–7 minutes.
- Between Terminal 2 and its satellite building: an automated underground train connects the main terminal with the satellite boarding areas in approximately one minute, with departures normally every four minutes.
The satellite building is part of Terminal 2 and contains boarding areas J, K and L. Check-in and baggage reclaim take place in the main T2 building, so passengers must use the internal train when their boarding gate is located in the satellite.
If you have a connecting flight, check your assigned terminal and boarding area, as some routes require internal transportation and additional security or immigration procedures.
