	~~[[Image~~:~~Haupt_02~~.~~jpg\|thumb\|200px\|right\|Main Train Station~~ (Hauptbahnhof)]]		=====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.

			The S-Bahn is operated by Deutsche Bahn, so regular (non-MVV) train tickets are valid for the S-Bahn but not for other public transport. If the ticket is marked out to "München" this gives you the choice of train station within Munich where you are going, so e.g. to go to Ostbahnhof (Munich East) by S-Bahn having arrived at Hauptbahnhof (Munich central station), you need not get an additional ticket.
			When headed to a regional S-Bahn destination from elsewhere, it will usually be cheaper to buy your (non-MVV) train ticket to your final S-Bahn destination, instead of e.g. to Hauptbahnhof and buying an MVV ticket for the S-Bahn part of your journey.

			The tickets "Bayernticket" (for off-peak travel of 1-5 persons in local trains all over Bavaria) and "Schönes Wochenend Ticket" (for travel of 1-5 persons on a weekend day with local trains nationwide) are also valid on all MVV transport.

			If you have a BahnCard, your ticket may be marked with "München+City", this allows you to continue your journey with all MVV transport inside the "Innenraum".

	Getting around in Munich is as extremely simple and as easy using any of the public Buses, Trams, S-Bahns (fast suburban trains) or U-Bahns (underground). It is nearly impossible to find a place in Munich where there is no public transport nearby.		Getting around in Munich is as extremely simple and as easy using any of the public Buses, Trams, S-Bahns (fast suburban trains) or U-Bahns (underground). It is nearly impossible to find a place in Munich where there is no public transport nearby.

	~~Current timetables~~ and ~~prices~~ can be ~~found at~~ the ~~transportation network~~'s [http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/ ~~website~~].		The public transport carriers in the Munich area operate a joint fare system, called MVV (Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund, Munich transport and ticketing alliance). It does not matter if you buy your MVV ticket at a train station, underground, or in a bus or tram vehicle, they are all valid based on geographic zones and maximum travel time for all vehicles: S-Bahn, underground, tram, city buses and regional buses, as well as regional trains within the MVV area. You are allowed to change between vehicles as much as you need for your complete journey using one ticket.

			If you are found to travel without a valid ticket, this costs 40 Euro, so please make sure you have a ticket that is valid for travel. This includes validating the ticket by stamping it unless it was already sold validated (sold in the vehicle with tram and bus, or sold by a DB machine that asked you for the date of travel before printing it).
			For S-Bahn and U-Bahn, the stamping machines are at the platform, or in underground stations in the intermediate underground level. In tram (streetcar) and bus, the stamping machines are inside the vehicle near each door.
			Ticket inspections are usually inside the vehicle but can also be above the stairs when you leave an underground station, so please keep your ticket until leaving the station.

			''A oneway ticket for one Zone (Einzelfahrt, 1 Zonen) is 2,60 Euro'''
			* The inner district is one zone and covers the Munich city area entirely plus some neighbouring locations - see [http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/tickets-fares/tariff-maps/index.html] "Inner District"/"Innenraum" for the range
			* you are allowed to change between lines and break your journey and continue, as long as you continue away from your starting point - up to 3 hours from the stamped date&time
			* ! you have to validate the ticket, unless the vending machine asked you for the date !

			'''A Daily ticket is available for one person (single Tageskarte - 5,80 Euro) or up to 5 people (Partner Tageskarte - 10,60)'''
			* ! you have to validate the ticket, unless the vending machine asked you for the date !
			* The ticket is valid from the date printed/moment of validation until 6 a.m. the following day
			* you can use S-Bahn, regional trains, U-Bahn (underground trains), buses and trams within the "Inner District"/"Innenraum"

			'''A three day ticket is available for one person (single 3-Tageskarte - 14,30 Euro) or up to 5 people (Partner 3-Tageskarte - 24,60)'''
			* ! you have to validate the ticket, unless the vending machine asked you for the date !
			* The ticket is valid from the moment of validation until 6 a.m. the fourth day
			* you can use S-Bahn, regional trains, U-Bahn (underground trains), buses and trams, as long as you stay in the "Innenraum"

			'''There is also a combination between day or multiday tickets and discounts for sightseeing venues, called the CityTourCard'''
			* whether this is a better deal for you, depends on how many sights you are planning to visit quickly. Check http://www.citytourcard-muenchen.com/ and compare for yourself.

	''~~Recent Prices:~~''		'''If you stay for a longer period of time,''' consider getting a weekly or monthly ticket ("IsarCard"). They are only available at calendar week (Monday to Sunday, still valid until 12:00 on the next Monday) or calendar month (1st of month to 12:00 on first weekday of next month) boundaries unfortunately. The area of validity can be chosen more specifically by means of "rings".
	* 1 ~~Day / 1 Person €5; 2~~-~~5 Person €9~~ (~~Inner City Only~~)		* Example: a '''weekly ticket''' for "Innenraum" rings 1-4 costs 18,90 Euro.
	* ~~3 Day / 1 Person €12~~,~~30; 2-5 Person €21 (Inner City Only)~~		For monthly tickets, if you need not travel before 09:00 on weekdays, the "IsarCard 9Uhr" (off-peak monthly travelcard, there is no evening restriction) is a particularly good deal.
			* Example: '''IsarCard 9Uhr for a month off-peak''' for Innenraum costs 51,50 Euro, for the whole MVV region 69,90 Euro.

	~~All passes allow unlimited use of~~ the ~~Buses, Trams, S-Bahns and U~~-~~Bahns within the purchased travel area~~.		Current timetables and prices can be found at the transportation network's [http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/homepage/index.html website].

	If you're arriving by plane and are staying for three days, the best deal is a 3-day ticket for "Innenraum" and two ~~3-zone single ride~~ tickets - ~~it should cost around 25€~~.		If you're arriving by plane and are staying for three days, the best deal is a 3-day ticket for "Innenraum" and two day tickets outer district (Außenraum) - this currently adds up to 25,90€.

	If you're a group of two or more, one or more Partner Tickets is ideal.		If you're a group of two or more, one or more Partner Tickets is ideal.
