Do I need to make reservations for the attractions?

Advance reservations are required for some tours and attractions, as participant numbers are limited or fixed time slots must be adhered to. You will receive the relevant information with your City Pass. Reservation required: Excursion to Neuschwanstein Castle Participation must also be reserved by email. Even if the excursion was selected at the time of purchase, a separate reservation with the provider is necessary.

Can I buy a Munich City Pass on site?

Yes, you can also purchase the Munich City Pass directly on site in Munich . It is available at the Tourist Information Office in the Town Hall , among other places. There you will receive personal advice and can use the pass immediately. You can also buy the pass at selected MVV ticket machines . This gives you the flexibility to buy it at short notice, even if you are already in the city. We recommend buying online before you arrive : this way, you can secure your Munich City Pass in advance and start sightseeing as soon as you arrive – without any waiting time.

How does the City Pass work on site?

It's simple: just show your digital City Pass ticket on your smartphone at the respective attraction. In most cases, this will grant you direct entry or a free ticket on site. For smooth use—especially if you don't have internet access while traveling—we recommend saving screenshots of your most important tickets and reservations in advance. That way, you'll be ready to go at any time, even offline.

How flexible am I when using the pass?

The City Pass gives you a lot of flexibility! Apart from the fixed date for the trip to Neuschwanstein Castle (if you selected this when booking), you can visit all other attractions in any order and within their respective opening hours. For attractions with time slots, you also have the option of making reservations that best fit your travel plans. This allows you to design your personal sightseeing program at your own pace and according to your interests – relaxed, flexible, and without any time pressure.

Are there special prices and rules for children and teenagers?

Yes, the Munich City Pass offers different prices depending on age group: • Children's pass: valid for ages 6 to 14 • Teenager Pass: valid for ages 15 to 17 The decisive factor is the age at the time of the visit, not at the time of purchase. Please note: Some attractions have their own age regulations or offer additional discounts—you can find the exact terms and conditions in your digital City Pass.

How many days should you spend in Munich?

With the Munich City Pass, you can discover the Bavarian metropolis at your own pace and according to your personal interests. How much time you need depends mainly on your travel speed, your interests, and how intensively you want to experience the individual attractions. For the most important highlights such as Nymphenburg Palace, the Deutsches Museum, and a hop-on hop-off tour, 2–3 days is a good basis. If you want to delve deeper, visit museums, or plan tours, you should allow at least 4–5 days. Munich invites you to enjoy yourself – from an extended museum visit to a relaxing break in a beer garden.

Which attractions should I visit first?

Our tip: Start with an overview tour or a guided walking tour. This will give you a feel for the city and allow you to decide which museums, castles, or neighborhoods you would like to explore in more detail. An ideal way to start is with the hop-on hop-off bus tour. It gives you a quick overview of the city and helps you plan your further visits. You can hop on and off as you please and get exciting background information about the sights and Munich's history along the way.

Is there a recommended route or daily schedule?

The itinerary depends entirely on your interests. Here is an example for your reference: Day 1: Start with a hop-on hop-off tour or a guided city tour to get an initial overview of Munich. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the most important sights and plan your remaining days more effectively. Day 2: Visit the museums that interest you most, such as the Deutsches Museum or Nymphenburg Palace. Be sure to plan breaks: you can review what you've seen and get a feel for life in the city while enjoying a local specialty in a café. Additional days: Use the extra days for guided bike tours, excursions to the surrounding area, or visits to other exciting museums and galleries. This allows you to be flexible with your itinerary and discover Munich from different perspectives.

How do I get to the attractions?

Many sights are centrally located and easily accessible on foot. For longer distances, public transportation (MVV) is ideal: the subway, light rail, tram, and bus will take you quickly through the city. Convenient: you can add a public transport ticket directly to your City Pass. Alternatively, the hop-on hop-off buses offer a convenient connection between the main attractions, and you can hop on and off as you please – flexible and uncomplicated.

Which attractions are particularly suitable for families with children?

The Munich City Pass includes numerous attractions that children will also love: the Deutsches Museum with interactive exhibitions, SEA LIFE Munich, the Umadum Ferris wheel, and Bavaria Filmstadt—plus plenty of nature in the Botanical Garden or at Nymphenburg Palace. The Museum of Man and Nature in Nymphenburg Palace is also specially designed for children. Older children and teenagers will love the virtual experiences at Magic Bavaria or the WOW Museum. Escape games are also fun for the whole family, with several exciting options to choose from.

What hidden gems are included in the Munich City Pass?

The Munich City Pass not only opens the doors to well-known highlights such as the Deutsches Museum or Nymphenburg Palace, but also to surprising discoveries. Small, special museums such as the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus or the Bavarian National Museum often leave a lasting impression. Or take a look at the included tours: various city and guided bike tours open up new perspectives on Munich – historical, creative, or enjoyable, depending on your interests. Soccer fans will get their money's worth at the FC Bayern Museum, while families will appreciate the Museum Fünf Kontinente as a varied destination away from the classics.

Is the hop-on hop-off bus included in the City Pass?

The Munich City Pass includes the Express Circle Tour on the hop-on hop-off bus. The ticket is valid for 24 hours , allowing you to explore the city's main attractions at your own pace and hop on and off as you please. If you want to experience even more, you can book an upgrade to the Grand Circle Tour. This upgrade costs only €5 and opens up additional stops and sights, allowing you to discover even more of Munich.

How does the public transport ticket work?

When purchasing a local transport ticket, you can choose between two options: City center (Zone M): Valid within the Munich city limits. Entire network (Zones M–6): Covers destinations beyond the city limits, such as the airport, Lake Starnberg, or Dachau. The local transport ticket allows you to use the subway, S-Bahn, tram, bus, and regional trains free of charge within the selected zone. This allows you to travel flexibly and comfortably through Munich and the surrounding area. To ensure that you select the correct zone for your planned trips, you can check the zones in advance on the official MVG website: MVG zone check . (Is it possible to include the MVV zone check? https://www.mvg.de/abos-tickets/zonencheck.html )

How do the hop-on hop-off buses work?

With your Munich City Pass, you will receive a ticket for the “Express Circle Tour” – including a free audio commentary. You can hop on and off at the stops as often as you like, allowing you to plan your day with complete flexibility. Simply show your City Pass to a bus company employee and you will receive your bus ticket. This allows you to explore the city comfortably and individually at your own pace. If you prefer to take the “Grand Circle Tour,” you can purchase a ticket for the longer tour for an additional €5.

Are the discount partners worth it?

Absolutely! The partner discounts are a real added value to your City Pass. You benefit from discounts on selected half-day and full-day tours, in souvenir shops, and at various restaurants and service providers in Munich. If you are spending several days in the city and want to eat out or go shopping anyway, you can save money. In most cases, all you need to do is show your City Pass – no complicated vouchers or additional registration required. Your digital City Pass documents contain a complete overview of all partners with their respective discounts and addresses. This allows you to combine your sightseeing tours with shopping and enjoyment in a relaxed manner.

Are audio guides or guided tours included?

The hop-on hop-off tour includes audio commentary in various languages free of charge. For other attractions, it varies: some offer free audio guides, while others allow you to purchase them on site for a small fee.

What is the difference between the Munich Card and the Munich City Pass?

The Munich Card is a discount card that includes free local transportation. You receive discounts on admission tickets, but you still have to purchase the tickets. The Munich City Pass, on the other hand, includes free admission to 45 attractions.

Can I leave my belongings somewhere/are there lockers?

Many of the larger museums and attractions in Munich have cloakrooms or lockers for your personal belongings. Availability and any costs vary depending on the facility. You can find information on this on the providers' websites or directly on site. As an additional option, our partner Radical Storage offers a convenient luggage storage service at various locations throughout the city. As a City Pass holder, you receive a 10% discount on luggage storage. This allows you to store your luggage safely and affordably and explore the city without any worries.
