Munich City Pass & Tour Card: What Exactly Is It?

Whether you’re visiting Munich for the first time or have been living in the city for a while, you might be wondering if there’s an easier and more cost-effective way to explore this fascinating city. 

Well, the Munich City Pass was created to solve exactly this problem and we think it does the job very well.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Munich City Pass , including its features, benefits, and whether it’s worth it for different types of travellers. 

We’ve bought it ourselves and tried it so we know it works.

We’ve previously covered Getting Around Munich previously but now let’s find out all about the Munich City Pass together.

Now you can skip the line at some attractions and access public transportation without the hassle of buying individual tickets.

Best Value for Money with the Munich City Pass

To maximize the value of your Munich City Pass, we recommend planning your itinerary ahead of time and visiting multiple attractions each day. 

This way, you can quickly recoup the cost of the pass and even save more than if you had bought individual tickets. 

For example, visiting three or more attractions per day can easily save you over 50% compared to purchasing individual tickets.

Being organized also means seeing more in less time, so you’ll be able to save money on the Munich Pass by reducing the number of days you actually have to purchase the pass for.

Munich City Pass Vs Individual Attraction Tickets

• Number of attractions you plan to visit
• Duration of your stay in Munich
• Your travel style and preferences

For some travellers, the convenience and savings of the Munich City Pass make it a no-brainer. 

However, if you only plan to visit a few attractions and have a longer stay in Munich, individual tickets might be a better fit for you.

To really get the best value from the pass you’ll want to have a number of attractions that have entry fees on your Munich itinerary.

If you’re travelling on a budget, the Munich City Pass can be a valuable tool to help you save money while still experiencing the city’s top attractions. 

By using the pass strategically and visiting multiple attractions per day, you can save significantly compared to buying individual tickets.

Even if you’re a super budget orientated traveller and decide to walk everywhere, it could still be worth investing in the city pass especially if you intend to visit some of the higher paying attractions in the city.

The City’s Hidden Gems & Offbeat Attractions

While the Munich City Pass covers many popular sights, it also includes some lesser-known attractions that are worth exploring, such as:

• St. Peter’s Church
• Museum Brandhorst
• Munich Botanical Garden

We recommend venturing off the beaten path and using the pass to discover these hidden gems!

Solo Travellers

For solo travellers, the Munich City Pass can be an excellent way to explore the city independently and at your own pace. 

The pass provides access to a wide range of attractions and public transportation, allowing you to create your own itinerary and make the most of your trip.

Bavarian Art and Culture Enthusiasts

With access to public transportation, you can easily explore Munich’s various neighbourhoods and experience its lively bars, clubs, and entertainment venues.

Fabulous Day Trips & Excursions

While the Munich City Pass primarily covers attractions within the city, it can also be used for some day trips and excursions outside Munich. 

For instance, the pass includes a guided tour of Allianz Arena, which is not located in the city centre. 

Additionally, you can use the pass for public transportation to reach nearby attractions, such as the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.

Munich City Pass | Our Expert Opinion

Obviously, with so much experience here in the city, we don’t need the pass and nor does anyone that visits us.

However, for anyone who’s never visited the city before but intends to do a LOT of sightseeing here then the Munich City Pass is a convenient and cost-effective way to explore this incredible city. It’s ideal for first-time visitors, families, and travellers who want to make the most of their time in Munich, the pass offers access to a wide range of attractions, museums, and public transportation services. However, keep in mind that the pass may not be the best fit for everyone – if you only plan to visit a few attractions or prefer a slower travel pace, individual tickets might be a better option even if you’ve never been to Munich before. Ultimately, the decision depends on your travel style and preferences. Whichever option you choose, we’re confident that you’ll have a fantastic time discovering all that Munich has to offer!

Is it worth it.

Like all tourist cards, it's always best to plan where you'd like to visit in advance before making a purchase, so you can calculate if it's really going to save you money. If you're going to be using public transport a lot, the Munich City Tour Card is probably worth it for savings on travel alone.

It's worth noting that it's cheaper to buy the  group ticket  even if there are just two of you traveling, rather than buying a City Tour Card each. What's more, the price per person is for adults aged 15 and over , and two children aged between 6 and 14 years old count as one adult, so if you're traveling as a larger group with kids, the group option can work out really economical.

Where do I buy the City Tour Card?

The Munich City Tour Card is sold online (see the link above), at the Tourist Information Offices in Marienplatz , and at Munich Hauptbahnhof (main railway station), as well as the MVG ticket offices and machines.

Save with the Munich City Tour Card on Transportation and Tickets

Tourists traveling in München in Germany can save on transportation ticket costs and sightseeing admission fees by using the Munich City Tour Card.

Getting around in Munich (München) is very easy using the vast and efficient public transportation system that combines S-Bahn and U-Bahn trains, buses, and trams into a smooth network. Various transportation cards and passes are available to reduce the cost of public transportation in Munich with day tickets often offering the best savings deals. The Munich City Tour Card combines unlimited public transportation with discounts to many popular sights in München. The Munich Card is a similar offer that conveniently may be bought online and used on a mobile phone (or printed) for immediate use when arriving in Munich.

The Munich City Tour Card

Tourists in the Bavarian capital München can save on transportation costs and admission tickets to many popular sights when using the Munich City Tour Card. The card combines the advantages of a regular Munich transportation day ticket with further discounts at various sights, restaurants, shops, and attractions.

Like the regular Munich transportation day tickets (Tageskarten), the Munich City Tour Card comes in two versions: single for solo travelers and Gruppenkarte for groups of up to five adults. For the Gruppenkarte, two children between 6 and 14 years old count as one adult. (The Gruppenkarte was previously referred to as the Partnerkarte.)

A similar option is the Munich Card which costs about the same but includes savings on almost all museums in Munich, while the City Tour Card probably has a wider variety of tours and events. For international travelers on a first visit to Munich, the Munich Card or the pricier but all-inclusive Munich City Pass , which includes free admission to top sights, could be better value.

The Price and Validity of the Munich City Tour Card

The Munich City Tour Card is available for 24 or 48, and 3, 4, 5, or 6 days. The tickets are valid from the moment of validation up to the end of the limited hours or for the days cards up to 6 am the following morning. The ticket is valid for transportation in Zone M (center of Munich, previously referred to as Innenraum) or Zone M-6 (previously Gesamtnetz) which includes the entire Munich public transportation network including traveling to Munich Airport and Dachau . (A new Zone M-12 is also available but covers an area far too large for most travelers.)

The € prices of the Munich City Tour Cards for select days are as follows:

For comparison, the 2024 prices of some of the Munich transportation-only day cards are:

*Note: A separate group ticket is not sold for children but up to ten children may travel on the regular day group ticket. Up to three children travel for free with an Isarcard holder after 9:00 on weekdays and anytime on weekends.

Saving Money with the Munich City Tour Card

In order to save money with the Munich City Tour Card, it is necessary to save more than around €4 per day on admission fees. This saving is easily achieved through active sightseeing or by visiting sights that give large discounts.

Most of the museums and sights offer only around €1.50 discount on admission fees to bearers of the Munich City Tour Card. Sea Life München gives a large discount but the biggest savings are on expensive adventure experiences. The discounts given on experiences such as bungee jumping and helicopter flights are larger than the cost of the City Tour Card.

Some of the sights that give discounts with the Munich City Tour Card include the Residence, Schloss Nymphenburg, Beer and Oktoberfest Museum, Bavaria, Cuvilliés Theater, and Olympia Park. Discounts are also offered on bike rental, city walking tours, and at some restaurants and cafes.

The savings card may be bought at almost all places where regular Munich transportation tickets are sold including online , vending machines at stations and bus stops, the tourist information office, and at many hotels. A handy pamphlet with a map comes with the card if bought from tourist offices.

Family Savings and Munich Transportation Day Tickets

The Munich City Tour Card discounts are often only given on the full adult price and not necessarily on child admission fees, which are usually discounted anyway. For families with children, the regular Munich transportation Group Ticket will often give better value.

Especially for children aged 6 to 14, the regular Munich transportation day ticket (€3.60) that covers the entire München mass transit network cannot be beaten on price, except when the children are included on the Gruppen-Ticket with parents.

Travelers heading to Munich on day trips from other parts of Bavaria may save by using the Bayern Ticket. The Bayern Ticket covers almost all forms of local transportation throughout Bavaria including the whole Munich public transportation network.

The Munich Card is a similar offer but from a different company. It includes discounts at more museums as well as on excursions and day trips out of Munich. It has the advantage that it can be bought online and printed out rather than having to exchange a voucher after arrival in Munich. The Munich City Pass is a good choice for active sightseeing as it includes full admission to 45 top sights in Munich.
