Getting around: the UBahn and SBahn are the subway/streetcars that run around Munich, and you can take a line directly from the airport into the city. The main square is Marienplatz, and the Hauptbahnhof is the main train station. You need coins or an atm card with a gold chip to buy a ticket from a machine; in general, it's easier to buy a one way ticket (Einzelfahrt) or day card (Tageskarte) than a stripe card (you need to know what zones you're traveling through for this). If you're traveling with one or more other people, you can get a partner card, which is cheaper, and you can cover up to 5 people with that ticket. They do periodic checks for tickets, though not regular ones. | =Getting around= |
