casual1690 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 My recommendation to get downtown, however, is to take the S-Bahn. The S-1 and S-8 depart alternately about every 10 minutes. Travel time downtown is 40-50 minutes, depending on where you're going. Costs: Railpasses (e.g. Eurail, Selectpass, German Rail Pass) are valid on the S-Bahn only (i.e. not the U-Bahn, trams, or buses), but require use of a travel day on a flexi pass -- a bad value unless you're taking a train well outside of Munich the day you arrive. A 1-way ticket costs EUR 8.80, but for just a bit more (EUR 10), you can buy a "Single Tageskarte Gesamtnetz," which covers the trip plus all of Munich's S-Bahns, U-Bahns, trams, and buses for the rest of the day. An even better deal for 2-5 travelers is the "Partner Tageskarte Gesamtnetz," which costs EUR 18, just a few cents more than two 1-way tickets alone, and covers the transit system for the whole day for up to 5 people traveling together. Also people staying in AO hotels/hostels Check were you are staying because there is AO Hostel - connected to city hotel AO Hotel - which is a stop away from the main station AO City Hotel - which is next to main station
Guest squidgy66 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 On their website AO Hostel/Hotel said they were by the station that is one stop away from the main station?

Ani Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 right to make this easy for me, get to the airport, then a train to centre i assume. what do i ask for ? i doubt very much i will use any other public transport other than actually going to the game and back to airport.
casual1690 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 ermm, isn't that two photos of the same place? All the AO hostel/Hotels are pretty new and are built the same, but these are not the same hotel

SatanGreavsie Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 What is wrong with getting a Joe Baxi. Does anyone know how much that would be? Good info here: http://www.gsf.de/neu/biodiversity/Munich_...y_Cente_Web.pdf
mannyroad58 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 About 20 mins in a taxi.30 - 40 euros That will do for me, 4 in a Joey 10 euros each that will save all the hassle
Guest as Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Flapping about accom? Live a little - just worry about that when you get there
jeep Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 That will do for me, 4 in a Joey 10 euros each that will save all the hassle It'll be nearer to 60 Euros. Me & my boys will be going on the S-Bahn for the "Partner Tageskarte Gesamtnetz," which costs EUR 18 between us and gets us round Munich all day.

Carlos Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Anyone who needs help getting from the airport to the city centre should really be staying at home.
