Munich’s airport “Franz Josef Strauß” is the second biggest airport in Germany. It is the turnstile for Lufthansa and Star Alliance and therefore has a great international importance. No fewer than 200 destinations are served by scheduled and charter flights. It lies about 28 km outside the city centre but is easily accessible with the two S-Bahn lines S8 (Neue Messe) and S1 (West parts of the city). There is also an airport bus line which operates between the airport and the main central station of Munich. Lufthansa-Airport busses are also offering a connection to Innsbruck, Salzburg, Ingolstadt and Regensburg. The motorway A92 and the state road St 2584 make the airport easily reachable for all car drivers, although parking at the airport is comparatively expensive. There are also rapid train connections to all major German cities, and frequent services to European cities like Vienna, Prague, Zurich, Rome and Paris.
Facilities include banks, bureaux de change, tourist information, an automated hotel reservation service, a 24-hour medical emergency centre, pharmacy, post office, duty-free and other shops, bars, restaurants and executive lounges. Car hire is available from Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, National and Sixt. Business facilities are available.
