    Getting TO/AROUND: Munich's International Airport is a modern facility that has easy connections into the city center. There are lounges and plenty of places to shop, internet spots and well-marked information areas. The train comes directly to the airport and takes about 45 mintues to get into the city center. You'll look for the S-Bahn (S1 or S8) which connects to the U-bahn (underground train), but you can also take a shuttle, a bus or a taxi. When doing flight searches online, the Munich airport code is MUC and the German word for airport in "flughafen".

    Getting TO/AROUND: The U-Bahn ("bahn" means train) is what Germans call their subway system. The S-Bahn refers to the suburban trains that run outside of the city center and can be accessed from the U-Bahn lines (U1- U8). The trains run frequently during peak times, but even at off peak times there is a train around every 10 minutes. A single ticket costs 2.10 Euros and a day ticket (includes the inner zone) costs 4.50. I was able to get around Munich mostly on foot, but I did use the trains to get to and from the airport and a few other times to get around. The maps were easy to read and the trains were clean and efficient.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Munich taxis are pretty reliable so you don't have to worry about getting ripped off. The meters in the cream-colored Mercedes or BMWs start at 2.60 Euros and go up by about 1.20 Euros for each kilometer driven. You can hail a cab on the street or call for pickup, although there is a small extra charge for ordering a cab by phone.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are three train stations in the city, but the main station is the Hauptbahnhof. From Munich, it takes 3.5 hours to reach Frankfurt. Berlin is 7 hours, Vienna is 4.5 hours, Prague is 6.5 hours and Milan is 7.5 hours.

     Hi Mark! I enjoyed going through your site. It's very well written. I will be going to Munich for a business meeting in July. However I would like to go a few days earlier to be able to do some sightseeing so reading your page was truly helpful. Have fun!

     Great page Mark, I can't wait to try the beer and sausage breakfast.

     Yes, Munich really is a great bicycle town. Too bad I'll be sitting indoors all next weekend. Sounds like you had a great time in Munich. I like your tips and photos.

     I will be in Munich this weekend for the international boardshow at ISPO. Great info and pictures to give me a heads up on the place. Cheers.
