Munich Airport to Central Station: Shared Shuttle Transfer
Skip the taxi queue: Munich Airport to the city by scheduled shuttle
You board a shared shuttle outside the terminal and ride to Munich Central Station in an air-conditioned bus, with departures every 20 minutes. The booking is confirmed instantly, and you present your voucher to the driver—no phone calls, no surprises. Round-trip option means you can arrange both directions now and forget about transport logistics for the whole trip.

The Experience
You land at Munich Airport and face the usual choice: wait for a taxi, hunt for a rental counter, or figure out the train schedule. This transfer skips all that. Walk outside the terminal, find your driver holding a sign, and board an air-conditioned shuttle bus heading straight to Munich Central Station. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes, and you're done before you've finished your coffee.
The bus runs every 20 minutes from 6:25am until 10:25pm, so there's no scrambling to catch a specific departure—you just show up with your voucher and board the next one. The Lufthansa Express Bus is easy to spot, and the driver will confirm your name when you arrive. If you'd rather get dropped in Schwabing North instead of the main station, that's an option too. Groups, solo travelers, families with strollers—everyone fits the same way, and the air conditioning works even when Munich is warm.
The return trip is valid for up to a year from your booking date, so if you book round-trip now, you don't have to think about getting back to the airport when you leave. Just present your return voucher on departure day and board the same shuttle service heading the other direction. No time slot to remember, no confirmation email to dig up at the curb.
What’s included
Your transfer includes one-way or round-trip shared shuttle service by air-conditioned Lufthansa Express Bus, instant booking confirmation with a travel voucher, and the option to be dropped at Munich Central Station or Schwabing North. If you upgrade to round-trip, the return ticket remains valid for up to one year from your booking date.
