Munich Airport
Munich Airport (Franz Josef Strauss Airport) area provides convenient business and transit accommodation with its own distinctive attractions, including the Airbräu brewery — the only airport brewery in the world — the Munich Airport Visitors Park with aircraft viewing, and excellent connections to central Munich approximately 40 minutes away by S-Bahn train, providing access to the Oktoberfest, the Residenz, museums and Bavarian culture described under the main Munich entry.
Elect's take
"The Munich Airport area is surprisingly well equipped for those needing convenient accommodation — the Airbräu brewery is a genuinely enjoyable novelty and the S-Bahn connection into central Munich is fast and reliable."
Munich Airport's Airbräu is the world's only airport brewery, producing its own beer on site and providing a uniquely Bavarian welcome or farewell to visitors. The Visitors Park provides aircraft viewing areas and family-friendly attractions including a playground built around a retired aircraft. The airport itself is consistently rated among the best in Europe for efficiency and facilities. The S-Bahn S1 and S8 lines provide direct connections to Munich Hauptbahnhof in approximately 40-45 minutes, giving full access to the city's museums, the Residenz, the Englischer Garten and Oktoberfest as detailed under the main Munich destination entry. Freising, a charming Bavarian town with the historic Weihenstephan Abbey — home to the world's oldest brewery — is a short distance away.
