Trains to Munich

Bavaria's capital is well within reach by train from the UK. Munich's excellent rail infrastructure has overground and U-Bahn networks that are directly connected to the Hauptbahnhof - the main station. This makes it easy to transfer straight from trains to hotels or sight-seeing activities. And if passengers want to travel onward to Alpine resorts, Switzerland, Austria, or south German cities, that's easy to do as well.

Which is the main train station in Munich?

There's only one arrival point when travellers take the train from the UK to Munich. All trains will arrive at Munich Hauptbahnhof, which is located on Bayerstraße. The main station is less than 1 mile west of the historic centre, and transport links to other parts of the city are excellent, so arrivals should be hassle-free.

Which train companies offer trains to Munich?

Train journeys from the UK to Munich will generally involve a couple of rail companies. In most cases, travellers will need to take a Eurostar connection from London to Paris or Brussels, then transfer to a Deutsche Bahn (DB) service to Munich.

Why travel by train to Munich?

Travelling by train to Munich makes a lot of sense for passengers who value comfort and convenience. Eurostar and DB trains that serve the route are always spacious and enjoyable places to spend time, and with some beautiful scenery to watch as the journey unfolds, it's a pleasant experience. On-board food and wi-fi complete the setup for rail travellers, allowing you to relax and work if necessary. Thanks to Eurostar connections, the journey time isn't that long (under 9 hours in many cases), making rail travel a comfortable and eco-friendly way to reach Munich.

Before you travel to Munich by train - good to know!

Upon arrival, it makes sense to arrange MVV day or week cards, which make travelling around the city easier (and cheaper). München Cards are also very handy, providing cut-price admission to over 90 attractions and discounted transport. Munich is full of attractions, from the vast BMW Museum and the Allianz Arena, to the Frauenkirche and the English Garden. But there are offbeat destinations, too. Head for a swim in the open air pools at Volksbad, explore the beer gardens by the River Isar, and take in an 1860 Munich football match. It's more down to earth than watching Bayern's superstars.

How to get to Munich by Train

You can travel from London to Munich by train in around 10 hours, with a transfer in Paris. Take a morning Eurostar service from London St. Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. Then take the afternoon TGV directly to Munich from Paris Gare du Est, which is conveniently adjacent to Paris Gare du Nord. Eurostar have 10 trains a day to Paris departing every half hour. The main railway station in Munich is situated in the centre of the city and there are plenty of public transport services that connect the station to other cities and the local area.
