Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, head towards Munich via the A9 or A93 motorway, depending on your starting location in Bavaria. Once you approach Munich, follow signs for the city center ('Zentrum'). You will want to take the exit for 'München-Schwabing' or 'München-Mitte' depending on your route. As you near the city center, follow the signs for Marienplatz. Be aware that parking in the downtown area can be limited and expensive, with parking fees ranging from €2 to €4 per hour.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, look for regional trains (S-Bahn) that head towards Munich. Major connections include S2, S3, S4, S6, S8, and S7, which all stop at 'München Hauptbahnhof' (Munich Central Station). From there, transfer to the U-Bahn (subway) lines U5 or U6, or catch the tram lines that lead to Marienplatz. A single ticket costs about €2.90 and is valid for all public transport within the inner zone for up to 90 minutes.
-
Taxi or Rideshare
If you prefer a more direct route without public transportation, consider taking a taxi or rideshare service. This is especially convenient if you have luggage. A taxi from Munich Central Station to Marienplatz typically costs around €10-€15. Be aware of potential traffic during peak hours. You can also use rideshare apps like Uber, which operate in Munich.

Walking from Central Station
If you arrive at Munich Central Station and prefer to walk, Marienplatz is approximately a 15-20 minute walk. Exit the station and head east along 'Bayerstraße', then continue straight until you reach 'Karlstraße'. Turn left at 'Ludwigstraße' and follow it, which will lead you directly to Marienplatz.
