Accessible Subway and other Munich, Germany Transportation Tips

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: I really have to say, the subway in Munich offers pretty decent disabled access!!! From what I've seen within Germany, this one has by far the most lifts to reach the subterranean platforms. Just be careful, some stations don't have lifts to all the platforms and in order to get to that single one, you might have to go against the general direction of exiting the train.

Getting TO/AROUND: Munich has Germany's most modern and second largest airport. It is situated some 40 km north east of the city centre, near the city of Freising. Connections into the city are easy as the airport is being served by S-trains, the journey taking about 45 minutes. Allow some time to get to your check in as distances are quite long. I cannot confirm, however, that it is difficult to find your way around, as some people are claiming. The airport has 2 terminals, terminal 2 being even more modern than the slightly older terminal 1. The airport's layout also allows planes to start and land on parallel runways, so don't become frightened if you see another plane approaching the airport in a very similar direction -- you're not on a collision course! Good disabled access, but single-travelling wheelchair users with heavy luggage should be aware of the long distances at the airport. Better get some help!
