Travel to Freising

Freising and Munich Airport

Flights to Munich

Freising is located extremely close to Munich Airport/Flughafen München (International airport code 'MUC').

Due to its proximity, there are several ways to travel directly to Freising from the airport

  • Bus - The number 635 bus travels from outside the Terminal 1 building directly to Freising. In regular hours, the bus departs every 20 minutes and should cost 2.70 euros per person (Note, you can often buy a ticket on the bus itself from a self-service machine, but you will need exact change in coins). For more detailed information on the exact timetables for the buses (including maps), please consult the MVV website.
  • S-bahn - The S1 train travels to Freising via a change at Neufahrn. In regular hours, the train departs two times an hour from the airport.

For more detailed information on the exact timetables for the S-bahn services (including maps), please consult the MVV website
    • .
  • Taxi - For small groups of people, it is feasible to travel directly to Freising (and indeed direct to the Kardinal-Döpfner-Haus) by Taxi. Since Kardinal-Döpfner-Haus lies at the very top of a hill in the centre of Freising, this might be an option for groups travelling with heavy luggage. A taxi will cost an estimated 25 - 30 Euros.
