No matter what airport you arrive to, there is likely to be a convenient train connection.  Train transport is excellent in Germany, and though it might seem expensive, there are usually various discounts available depending on what age you are, what day of the week you will be traveling and how far you are going.  You can check the timetables online.  Within most cities and towns, there is an underground or light rail system, and failing that, buses will get you wherever you need to go.

Munich Airport

It takes 40-50 minutes by train (the S1 or S8) to get to the city centre from Munich Airport; The S1 approaches the city through the Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station) through west side while the S8 arrives in the Ostbahnhof (East Train Station) on the east side though you can connect to all the main train routes from either station.  You can find phone numbers for airport flights and taxi information on our links and addresses page.

To find connections to different stops, you can look at the underground and regional train map or the tram map.  If you're still too far away from your destination, you can probably get a bus.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a map of the bus network, so if you come across one, let us know.  AutobusOberBayern is the local bus firm if you need specific bus information. For any other information about transport in Munich, check the Munich Guide, The Munich Portal (has information about tickets),  or try ringing some of the numbers on our links and addresses page.

Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport is situated about 9 km from the city centre.  Again, you can get a U-bahn or S-bahn into the city centre or the surrounding areas of Offenbach, Hanau, Rüsselsheim, Mainz or Wiesbaden.  For journeys farther afield (50km-100km) away, there are other trains.  You can also catch Intercity trains to many other German cities.  More information about trains, buses and taxis are available here.

Frankfurt Hahn is further away from the city; the site provides good information about flights and onward connections.

Berlin Airport

Berlin has three airports; Schoenefeld, Tegel, Tempelhof.  A new mega airport, Berlin-Brandenburg International, will be in operation by 2007, and will take over all traffic from the existing airports. http://www.berlin-airport.de/ has comprehensive information about the three operating airports, including maps which show the connection with Berlin's public transport network.  You can plan your connection here too.

Schoenefeld
18 km from the city centre.  The site provides a map of the connecting public transport services.

Tegel
8 km from the city centre.  You can only get a bus connection from Tegel to either the U6 or U7 lines.

Tempelhof
6 km from the city centre.  The airport is on the U6 line.
