Is the 49-euro ticket valid in Munich?

Yes, the Deutschlandticket (commonly known as the 49-euro ticket, though prices are subject to annual review in 2026) is fully valid in Munich. This ticket allows for unlimited travel on all local and regional public transport throughout Germany. In Munich, this includes the U-Bahn (subway), S-Bahn (suburban trains), trams, and city buses operated by the MVV (Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund). You can also use it on regional trains (RB, RE, FEX) to travel from Munich to nearby destinations like Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Salzburg (the border station), or Lake Starnberg. The most important restriction to remember is that the ticket is NOT valid on long-distance express trains such as the ICE, IC, or EC, nor on private bus lines like FlixBus. In 2026, the ticket remains a monthly subscription that must be purchased digitally. It is an incredible value for tourists staying in Munich, as a standard weekly city pass can often cost nearly as much as the monthly Deutschlandticket, which covers the entire country.
