Where do you catch the train at Munich Airport?

The train station is located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 and can be accessed by following the signs for S-Bahn or Train. Once at the train station, travelers can purchase a ticket from the ticket machines or ticket counter and board the S1 or S8 train towards Munich Central Train Station.



The train station at Munich Airport (München Flughafen) is located underground in a central area between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, known as the Munich Airport Center (MAC). To find it, simply follow the ubiquitous green "S" signs (standing for S-Bahn) located throughout both terminals. If you land in Terminal 2, you will walk through the large, open-air plaza of the MAC and take the escalators down to the platform. If you are in Terminal 1, you will follow a long corridor that leads toward the center of the airport. Two lines serve the airport: the S1 and the S8. Both will take you to the city center (Marienplatz) and the Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof), but they travel in opposite directions around the city. The S8 is generally faster for reaching the city center (about 35 minutes), while the S1 is often better for reaching the western parts of Munich. Tickets can be purchased from the red Deutsche Bahn (DB) or blue MVV machines located just above the escalators.
