Eat here

Weisswurst + Brezn + Weissbier at Hofbräuhaus (Platzl 9) — Bavaria's most iconic beer hall, traditional but tourist-heavy. For locals: Augustiner-Bräustuben, the brewery's own tap.

Local tip

MUC is 35km from city centre — among the furthest German airports. The S-Bahn takes 45 min so allow 2.5+ hour buffer before connecting flights. The Lufthansa Express Bus is the same price + arrival time as S-Bahn but with luggage space.

Pre-book a fixed-price arrival transfer if you're landing late or with kids — saves the arrivals queue and locks price before you fly.

Getting out of Munich (MUC)
