Is Dachau in Zone 1 Munich?

if a station is located in two zones like e. g. Dachau 1/2, depending on your direction of travel you choose the cheaper option. Thus for a journey in direction to Munich Main Station Dachau is (like Munich Main Station ) in zone 1. If you travel outbound from Dachau to Altomünster (zone 4)then Dachau is in zone 2.



As of 2026, the town of Dachau and the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site are located in Zone M-1 of the Munich transport network (MVV). For years, Munich used a system of rings and zones; in the current simplified model, "Zone M" covers the inner city, and "Zone 1" (now part of the M-1 area) covers the immediate suburbs. To travel from central Munich (the Hauptbahnhof) to Dachau, you need a ticket that covers both Zone M and Zone 1. The most cost-effective option for a visitor is typically a "Single Day Ticket" or "Group Day Ticket" for the Zone M-1 area. This ticket will allow you to take the S-Bahn (S2 line) to Dachau and then use the local bus (Line 726) that takes you from the station to the Memorial entrance. If you only have a "Zone M" (inner city) ticket, you will be traveling without a valid fare once the train crosses the city boundary, so always ensure your pass specifically includes the "1" or "M-1" designation.
