Munich Transportation Tips by meteorologist1

Muenchen Hauptbahnhof By train Review

Munich's train station is very convenient and has a lot of shopping opportunities and restaurants nearby. When you are at the train station, you are not far from all the Munich attractions. The facilities are very clean.

DB, Germany's railway system, serves many cities in Germany from Munich. It also serves countries like Austria and Italy.

You can get to the train station using Munich's subway (U-bahn). Lines U4 and U5 pass through "Hauptbahnhof".

U-bahn in Munich Public Transportation Review

The subway in Munich (or U-bahn) is very clean, quiet, not crowded, and very convenient. You can get around town easily, and there are a lot of lines; most of them meet up in Marienplatz. The tickets are a little on the expensive side though.

Also, shown in the picture on the left is a "Streifenkarte". It costs 9 euros and has 10 slots for stamping. However, even I am a little confused: Usually, if you are travelling a long distance (more than 2 stops or something on the subway and bus), you have to use up 2 slots of your Streifenkarte. 1 slot is not enough--only for very short rides. And there are different policies for travelling through different zones. Usually the automatic ticket machines at the subway stations have all these information.
