Overview: flew to Munich bc of a flight change to transfer to Paris, large airport with lots of…read morestores and food available, not as efficient as I was expecting ---- Flew on Lufthansa which was great, then had to transfer to another gate to get to my flight to Paris. At the customs check in area it was a bit confusing and not super efficient. There were two lines one with pre-registered passports on the right and non-registered. They had registration kiosks available for people to do it "quicker" however the non-registered passport line ended up moving a lot quicker! I think this was due to the higher number of employees working on the other side compared to the pre-registration one (like 5 vs 2 or 3). It was kind of a waste of time to pre-register especially when their line was moving slower. I eventually switched to the non registered line and it moved wayyyy quicker. There are lots of bathrooms and seats available to sit at each gate. The airport also has plenty of good options that appeal to a wide audience... like their soft pretzels! ---- Overall: except for the inefficient line mishap, this airport was spick and span, no other complaints

This is one of my favorite airports in Europe to make flight connections. It is large. Expect…read morelong walks if your flight connection involves changing terminals. Directional signs are very good. When I have a connection here, I head directly to my departure gate area before thinking of stopping for anything (except for a restroom). This way you get to clear border control and/or airport security first and then relax for your next flight.

This is an ok station, but the time I was there, trains were late (late in Germany - this hardly…read moreever happens!). Anyway, it gets packed - and while I have used Munich trains a lot, I can see that it might be confusing for visitors. There aren't really very clear instructions (though you can get English and other languages on the machines). The train is a wonderful option to get into the city, but I do recommend, if you haven't taken the train in Munich or aren't good at seeking out information alone, to read up first on the 'rules' to make sure you have a very smooth trip.

You know how when something you have assumed is always there is not there and it's a complete…read moredisaster? That happened when I arrived at MUC and the S-Bahn was down. I have never seen a less organized cluster of incompetence and it only got worse as I tried to get on a replacement bus. There were three people directing traffic and they were simply overwhelmed with the load of passengers that just kept arriving and arriving and arriving. No organization, no good announcements, and the people were no better. They were pushing, shoving and pretty much elbowing people to get on the rare buses that were slowly arriving. After about 30 minutes of watching this and seeing no real progress, when a taxi pulled up and said "Paid" I jumped on it. I shouted "Share ride!" and three others got in with me. For €20, I was driven to the main Munich train station. Seriously, Munich. Failures happen. Have a better way of dealing with it. About the ONLY good thing is that it was easy to follow the signs from baggage claim to the train station. [Review 11994 overall, 1777 of 2019.]

Read closely as if you do the quick math, buying a day ticket will save you some money, instead of buying two one way tickets.

Plus it's really really close to the airport. So if you're only in town for Oktoberfest and then leaving then I suggest staying outside the city limits of Munich. The pros: -It was really cheap to stay here compared to any hotel or Airbnb in Munich -It is a set price for your stay so no hidden fees -The staff speak English -The accommodations were quite nice and reasonable for our party of two -The have beer in the vending machines -They make pizzas on-site -The Wi-Fi was reasonably fast -The water stayed hot for a long period of time -The beds were reasonably comfy and the room was super clean -It's only about an hour to Munich by train -It's only about a 20-30 € taxi ride from Munich (as of Sept 2015) -check in/out was easy -they have maps and things on getting around Hallbergmoos and which transportation goes where The cons: -This place really is out in the middle of nowhere -It's kind of creepy finding this place at night as you have to walk through fields that aren't well lit or on highways that also aren't lit -There are not a lot of places to eat and the grocery stores are about 10-15 mins from the hotel -The breakfast is an extra 10 € per person and it's definitely not worth the money as it's just dry cereal, fruit, coffee, juice and breads. I think they had hard-boiled eggs, but I forget. -lots of good stuff including beer and adult beverages in the vending machine -You have to catch a bus from the train station like 15 stops to get to the right stop -Not easy to find using Google Maps directions Overall I thought this place was awesome for only 59.00 € + the breakfast. Some people may not like the inconvenience of not being right in the heart of the big city and will pay more for convenience. The trains are hyper fast so I really didn't mind. We got a tourist 3 day train pass from the train station so all the public transportation is basically included for about 20 €. It was perfect during our stay for Oktoberfest and plus since it's one of the last stops on the train most of the drunk people had already gotten off and we were able to rest and relax in the B&B.
