Practical tips

💡
Compare before you choose

Check the duration and price table before booking. The bus costs clearly less, while the plane saves a lot of time: the gap between the two tells you which one is really worth it for your budget.

💡
Check the departure point

Bus stops and airports are not in the same place. Re-read the exact departure address on your e-ticket the day before, so you don't go to the wrong bus station or stop.

💡
Direct or with a change?

Before paying, check whether the trip is direct or includes a change. A tight connection is the easiest way to miss the next departure, so leave a comfortable margin between the two.

💡
Book ahead

The lowest fares go first, especially by bus and on weekends and holidays. Booking early saves you from paying more and secures a seat on the departure that suits you best.

💡
Prepare for the border

The trip crosses into Germany: carry a valid ID document, even if checks are rare. For the plane, also check your fare's baggage rules before arriving at the airport.

The journey experience

Between Strasbourg and Munich, the choice comes down to two options: the bus if you want to pay as little as possible, the plane if you want to save time. Want to know right away which one is worth it for your trip, without opening ten tabs? The table on this page puts durations and prices side by side, and this guide helps you decide.

The long-distance bus links the two cities and crosses the German border, with comfortable seats and an effortless ride. It is the cheapest option, but it takes up a good part of your day. The plane, from Strasbourg airport, is much faster: you just need to plan how to reach the airport, plus check-in and security checks.

Our advice: if budget comes first and you are not in a rush, take the bus; if your time matters more, choose the plane. Either way, book ahead, check the departure and arrival points on your e-ticket, and see whether the trip is direct or involves a change. Keep an ID document with you for the border.

MUST-SEE
🕰️
Marienplatz and Rathaus Glockenspiel
The Neues Rathaus glockenspiel performs at 11am and noon (plus 5pm from March to October) with life-size figures. Arrive 15 minutes early for a good spot. Then take the lift up the town hall tower, from 7€, for open views over the city and, on clear days, the Alps.
🍻
A Beer at the Hofbräuhaus
Royal brewery founded in 1589 and the city's most famous. Order a Maß (one litre) for around 11€ with a pretzel. For a calmer visit, come before noon or pick the shaded courtyard in summer. Tables are shared: ask "Is hier frei?" before sitting down.
🥨
Lunch at Viktualienmarkt
Permanent market open Monday to Saturday, from around 8am, with about a hundred stalls. Try Weisswurst (before noon, as tradition dictates), Obatzda or Bavarian cheeses. Budget 8 to 15€ for a quick lunch. The central beer garden lets you eat food bought at the stalls.
🌳
Englischer Garten and Eisbach Surfers
One of Europe's largest urban parks. Watch the surfers on the Eisbach for free, near the Haus der Kunst, then walk to the Chinesischer Turm for a beer in its beer garden (Maß around 10€). Rent a bike from 15€ a day to cover the park.
👑
The Bavarian Kings' Residenz
Former palace of Bavaria's dukes and kings, with over 130 rooms. Museum ticket from 9€, treasury extra. Allow 2 hours. Visit on a weekday at opening to avoid tour groups, and don't miss the Antiquarium, the largest Renaissance hall north of the Alps.
⚙️

⛪
Asamkirche, Hidden Baroque Gem
Baroque church completed in 1746 by the Asam brothers, next to their own house, free entry. The narrow interior is packed with gold and stucco, a striking effect. Come late morning for the best light. Allow 15 minutes; it's a 5-minute walk from Marienplatz on Sendlinger Straße.
