In 2026, Munich Airport (MUC) is widely considered the "coolest" and best airport in Germany, having recently been named "Airport of the Year 2026" at the 51st ATW Annual Airline Industry Achievement Awards. It is the first European airport to be awarded a 5-star rating by Skytrax. The airport is famous for its "Airbräu" brewery—the world’s first airport brewery—where guests can enjoy craft beer in a traditional Bavarian beer garden. In the winter, it hosts a full Christmas Market with an ice-skating rink right between the terminals. Its innovative "Terminal 2" joint venture with Lufthansa and the testing of autonomous wheelchairs and electric bus depots make it a global leader in both passenger experience and sustainability.
