i%26#39;m gonna have a 7 hour lay over in Munich, whats there to do for 7 hours, i arrive in Munich on September 21 around 8:00 AM and my flight departs Munich on the same day 3:20 PM
|||
That%26#39;s pretty short, but you could have a quick look at Oktoberfest (only takes about 40 minutes by S-Bahn to get there). But after a few 1 liter beers you might miss your 3pm flight :-)
|||
easy peasy... jump in a taxi and go to Freising... wander around the old town then visit one of the oldest breweries (Weihenstephan) and relax... if you are an adrenalin junkie you could do a splash and dash to central Munich but if like most americans you are flying off to austria or out of germany then you will need to pass thru customs and be back 2 hours before your connecting flight leaves.. that leaves you 4 hours realistically to do it... i woulnt see the point... so try Freising...
|||
walk around the centre and visit Hofbräuhouse (the beer hall in city, not the Oktoberfest tent). You can have a glimpse at Oktoberfest - it%26#39;s only couple of stops from Marienplatz, the very centre of Munich, but there is no reason to start there otherwise you really miss your transport.

Hi,
I%26#39;d agree with getting a taxi to Freising. It%26#39;s very close to the airport (about 10 to 15 minutes) or perhaps the old town of Erding (which is about 15 to 20 minutes away). We took a taxi from the airport to Erding and it cost the 2 of us 20 Euro.
If you don%26#39;t want to stay in the airport, I%26#39;d spend the roughly 40 Euro (round trip cost) on a taxi and see either Freising or Erding. Tis way you%26#39;ll spend more time in one of these places rather than spend and hour plus in transit back and forth to Munich.

You can also go by bus from the airport to Freising.
This direct bus (#635) runs every 20 minutes throughout the day (with a break only from 1am to 4am). Travel time is 18 minutes. Single ticket is EUR 2,30. A mini group (2-5 persons) day ticket is EUR 9,00.

thanx every 1 for the help.
i%26#39;m gonna be there in September, isn%26#39;t the oktoberfest not in Oct.?????
i%26#39;m gonna be there with 20 something friends.
whats the best to do with 20 friends?
|||
oktoberfest is Sept 19 - Oct 4.
Best thing for 20 people is get 4 partnerkarte on the train ( S bahn) and ride into town. Leave 1 hour for the journey back to airport and go visit Hofbrauhaus or whatever takes your fancy- incl Oktoberfest, according to taste.
|||
%26gt; isn%26#39;t the oktoberfest not in Oct.?????
No. It ends first weekend in October.
19. September - 4. October 2009
Historically it lasted first only one weekend. This period was extended later into September as the likeliness of nice weather is there higher.
But I would not go with 20 persons to the Oktoberfest. There is no way that the group can stay there together. Oktoberfest is big and crowded. Not if you want to see your group again in time at the airport for the next flight.
I would go to Freising. It will be easier to hold your group there together.

With 20 persons you could buy 4 mini group day tickets (each EUR 9,00).

Thanks everyone for the help.

and we are 20 something people, where ever we go should we rather take the bus or taxis?

Abalda already explained how to get to Freising so I won%26#39;t do it again. On what to do in Freising you could also have a look at the link she gave. Or look at TA%26#39;s pages about Freising and Erding. Btw, doing both would be stretching it, since you%26#39;re short in time and probably don%26#39;t want to miss your flights.
