It is the cheapest option for one or two travelers and the dearest per head from three, because it has no group fare of any kind and the train does.

Buying from the driver costs EUR 1.00 more than buying online, so book on your phone before you board.

The last departure is 22:25. It is a daytime service and covers none of the night.

It is a road journey into the middle of Munich and the published 45 minutes is a fair-weather figure.

S8 · S-Bahn München, MVV tariffS-Bahn S8

From

Station beneath the Munich Airport Center, between the terminals

To

Marienplatz in 36 minutes, Hauptbahnhof in 40

Luggage

Racks by the doors; it is a commuter train and busy at rush hour.

Journey

36–40 min

Buy the Gruppen-Tageskarte if there are three or more of you. It is EUR 32.60 whether you are three or five, against EUR 15.10 each in singles, and the machines do not suggest it.

No first or last train is stated here: the airport says the S8 runs all night, about every 40 minutes between 01:00 and 04:00, but the S8's own timetable limits those 01:00 and 02:00 departures to Friday, Saturday and pre-holiday nights. Expect no train those hours on other nights.

The S1 also serves the airport and is not the same journey: it runs the other way round the city and reaches Hauptbahnhof before Marienplatz. Check which train you are boarding.

The group ticket is valid all day on the entire MVV network, so it keeps paying for itself after you have dropped your bags.
