About the Munich Airport (MUC), Germany

About Munich Airport, Germany

Munich Airport (MUC) is Germany’s second-busiest international airport, located approximately 35 kilometres northeast of Munich city centre. Known for its efficiency and world-class service, it connects travellers to major cities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Hiring a car at Munich Airport is a smart choice for those planning to explore Bavaria, the Alps, or even drive into Austria, Switzerland, or northern Italy.

Airport facilities and services

The airport has two main terminals and offers extensive amenities, including duty-free shops, restaurants, cafés, business lounges, free Wi-Fi, currency exchange, medical care, and family services. The on-site Hilton Munich Airport hotel and nearby options provide convenient accommodation for layovers or early flights.

Transport to and from the airport

Munich Airport is connected to the city via the S-Bahn (S1 and S8) trains, buses, and taxis. However, for travellers looking to explore at their own pace — whether you're heading to Neuschwanstein Castle, Salzburg, or Lake Chiemsee — car hire offers maximum flexibility and comfort.

How to hire a car at Munich Airport
