City area M, Zone M-6 (including the airport) or without public transport

How do I use the public transport ticket?

Depending on your choice, both the Munich Card and the Munich City Pass allow you to use the transport services of the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV) free of charge. Public transport fare zone M covers the entire Munich city area and some neighbouring municipalities. With a Zone M ticket, you can explore numerous attractions such as Marienplatz (main square), the English Garden, Schloss Nymphenburg (Nymphenburg Palace), the Olympiapark (Olympic Park), the Kunstareal (Art Quarter) and Tierpark Hellabrunn (Hellabrunn Zoo). Zone M–6 extends the coverage to the Munich suburbs and also includes journeys to and from Munich Airport.

Of course, Card and Pass can still be booked either with the entire network (Zone M-6) or with Zone M only. If you book a card to cover the whole of the Munich public transport area, suburban railway travel to and from Munich Airport is included in the price. The validity can be individually adapted to your needs.
