A few tried and trusted tips for booking cheap trains to Munich is smart. Generally, booking in advance is a surefire method to land the best prices. The further out the better, but at least a week in advance should be a rule of thumb. That goes especially for dates around holidays—or events like Oktoberfest, when everyone and his brother are taking a train to Munich. Unless passengers are really in a hurry, they should try choosing routes with connections or slower regional trains. It may take longer, but getting there is half the fun. Also, planning a trip is easier when travelers can be flexible. It goes without saying that booking online usually works out cheaper. It’s also a good idea to find one simple and efficient booking platform that you can get used to and trust. That said, buying train tickets to Munich is fast and easy with Omio.
When one thinks of Munich, Oktoberfest comes to mind: liters of beer, bratwurst and lederhosen. Naturally, the city has more going for it—though Oktoberfest certainly is a blast. Must-dos like the Hofbraühaus brewery, relaxing in the English Garden park, or seeing architectural beauties in the central pedestrian zone Marienplatz go without saying. Try an outing to the 1972 Olympia Park for water-sports, zip-lining and carnival rides. Art lovers will enjoy the Glyptothek and Pinakothek Modern and Classic museums. Catch a Bayern Munich game at the Allianz Arena. Foodies and people-watchers will love the Viktualienmarkt farmer’s market in the city-center. For a day-trip, book a 2-3 hour train ride to Neuschwanstein Castle. Within Munich getting around with public transport is easy. Look out for the U or S signs for underground and surface trains. Travelers can find ticket machines at all stations, which are also in English. If passengers plan to travel a lot, a day ticket is the easiest and most affordable option. There’s plenty to see by just walking around Munich too.
