Bavaria is a dream destination with its stunning landscapes, fairytale castles, and vibrant cities. But what makes exploring even easier? Its top-notch public transportation system! Whether you’re hopping between cities or navigating Munich or Nuremberg, here’s everything you need to know about getting around.
Traveling in Bavaria is seamless, whether you prefer speed, affordability, or comfort. So, hop on a train, tram, or U-Bahn and enjoy the ride!
Bavaria’s train network, operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB), is the backbone of travel between cities and regions. The high-speed ICE trains connect Munich, Nuremberg, and beyond in record time, while the Regionalbahn (RB) and Regional Express (RE) lines offer a budget-friendly way to explore. For unlimited travel within Bavaria, consider the Bayern Ticket, which covers all regional trains, trams, and buses for a full day.
Munich and Nuremberg both have excellent U-Bahn (subway) networks, making it easy to get around quickly. Munich’s U-Bahn system consists of eight lines, reaching all major districts, while Nuremberg’s U-Bahn is fully automated and highly efficient. Trains run frequently, making the U-Bahn one of the best ways to avoid traffic and explore the city.
The S-Bahn (Stadtschnellbahn) is your go-to for traveling between the city center and surrounding suburbs. Munich and Nuremberg both have well-developed S-Bahn systems, making it easy to reach outlying attractions like Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial or Erding’s famous beer spas.
Trams are a fantastic way to navigate within cities like Munich, Nuremberg, and Augsburg. They run frequently, are punctual, and offer scenic views of the city. If you’re sightseeing, hopping on a tram is a great way to take in the architecture while getting to your next stop.
Taxis in Bavaria are reliable but pricey, with fares based on a meter. You’ll find them at designated taxi stands or by calling a local taxi company. Uber operates in Munich, offering a slightly more affordable alternative with the convenience of app-based booking. However, in smaller towns and cities, Uber is not as widely available.
Bavaria’s major airports in Munich and Nuremberg offer quick and convenient transport options to the city center.
For real-time schedules and ticket bookings, check the DB Navigator app or the local MVV (Munich) and VGN (Nuremberg) apps.
S-Bahn: The S1 and S8 lines run every 10-20 minutes, taking around 40 minutes to reach the city center.
U-Bahn: There is no direct U-Bahn from the airport, but you can transfer at key stations like Hauptbahnhof.
Taxi/Uber: A taxi costs about €80 and takes around 35-45 minutes, depending on traffic.
Lufthansa Express Bus: Runs every 15 minutes, reaching Munich Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) in 45 minutes.
