=====From Airport to City=====

Munich Airport is located about 30km North-North-East from Munich, between Erding and Freising.

There are two S-Bahn lines connecting the airport with the city: S1 and S8. They depart every 20 minutes each and both go to the city center but on different routes, so depending on your destination within Munich it may be quicker to let one train from the "wrong" line pass and take the next. E.g. travelling to Ostbahnhof (Munich East) station, skip S1 and wait for the S8. For the central destinations Marienplatz and Hauptbahnhof (Munich Central station), whichever departs first is the best.

A day ticket for the whole MVV network is usually the best option to use, it costs 11,20 EUR for one person ("Single-Tageskarte Gesamtnetz" also sold as "Airport-City Day Ticket 1 person"), or 20,40 EUR for up to 5 people ("Partner-Tageskarte Gesamtnetz" also sold as "Airport-City Day Ticket 5 persons"). It also allows you to travel on to destinations in the Munich region and use the different types of public transport as described below.

There are also Airport Shuttle Buses (Coaches) into different places in the city, typically they are more expensive than the S-Bahn trains.
