Munich - Getting Around
Public Transport
All transport runs daily 0500-0100, with additional hourly services on night buses and trams 0100-0500. Tickets are available for purchase from blue ticket machines marked with the MVV logo and from other ticket outlets. Tickets must be validated in blue Entwerter machines, marked with the letter ‘E', upon boarding - except on new trams, for which pre-validated tickets are available.
Both one-day and three-day passes are available and up to five adults travelling together can save money by buying a one-day group ticket (Partner-Tageskarte).
