Is five hours between flights in Munich enough to visit the city?

score:2

Accepted answer

If your inbound flight lands on time, let's make a rough calculation :

  • 20 minutes to exit the plane / airport (could be more during peak hours)
  • 30 minutes to get to Munich downtown (again could be more during peak hours)
  • 30 minutes to get back to the airport
  • 1h00 at the airport for the security checks

So this leaves you approximately 3h00 in Munich. But you need to take into consideration few points :

  • I took an optimal timing (ie landing on time, no commuting issue and minimum time at the airport).
  • If you plan to exit the airport, I would suggest you to take on your luggage with you because if for any reason you aren't able to take the second flight, then the company will have to take your luggage out of the plane (which is a pain for them) and then you'll also miss your luggage if you have to stay overnight in Munich.

So you aren't forced to take your luggage with you but I would recommend you to do so...
