Practical tips

💡
Check the exact stop before you go

Long-distance buses do not always leave from the main railway station. Read the departure and arrival stop on your e-ticket, and look at the map before you leave your accommodation to avoid going to the wrong place.

💡
Book early for the best fares

Bus fares are lowest when booked ahead, especially on weekends, Friday afternoons and holiday periods. Booking early also secures your seat and lets you compare with the train before you commit.

💡
Compare with the train on your date

Train prices vary a lot with the date and how early you book. Check both for your day: if the gap in price is small and time matters, the train may be the better deal.

💡
Keep a margin for onward connections

If you are catching a flight at Munich airport or a train or bus to Salzburg, Vienna or Prague, do not book a tight connection. Road traffic can cause delays, so choose an earlier departure.

💡
Travel light and keep your ticket handy

Keep your e-ticket saved offline on your phone and a charged battery. Store large bags in the hold, but keep your documents, water and a snack with you in the cabin.

The journey experience

Getting from Lindau on Lake Constance to Munich is simple once you know your options. This page puts the bus side by side with the other ways of travelling, so you can see at a glance what is worth it for your trip and your budget, without comparing ten different websites.

The long-distance bus is the option confirmed for this route. It is the budget-friendly choice for independent travellers: you ride in a comfortable coach with a reclining seat, luggage space underneath and usually an onboard toilet. The journey runs along the Alpine foothills of southern Germany, so you can watch the scenery instead of worrying about changes. You book online and receive your e-ticket instantly on your phone.

Our advice: before you book, check the exact departure stop and the arrival stop, because in both cities long-distance buses may leave from a different place than the main railway station. Book early to get the lowest fares, and keep a safety margin if you are connecting to a flight or an onward trip to Salzburg, Vienna or Prague. The table on this page shows current durations and price ranges so you can decide with confidence.

What to do in Munich?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
🏛️
Marienplatz and the Glockenspiel
Munich's historic heart, dominated by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall. The Glockenspiel performs daily at 11:00 and 12:00, plus 17:00 from March to October. Arrive 10 minutes early for a spot. Climb the tower of Peterskirche nearby for a city panorama, around 5€.
🍻
Beer Hall at the Hofbräuhaus
Founded in 1589, this is Munich's most famous beer hall. Expect brass bands, long shared tables and a one-litre Maß from about 10€. Go before noon on weekdays to avoid crowds, and order a Weißwurst breakfast with sweet mustard and a pretzel.
👑
Residenz Palace and Treasury
The former palace of Bavarian kings holds over 130 rooms, the ornate Antiquarium and a dazzling crown jewels treasury. A combined ticket costs about 10€ to 14€. Allow two to three hours, go at opening time, and use the free audio guide included with entry.
🌳
Englischer Garten and Eisbach Wave
One of the world's largest urban parks, larger than Central Park. Watch surfers ride the standing Eisbach wave near Haus der Kunst, free to see. Then walk to the Chinese Tower beer garden. Rent a bike for around 15€ per day to cover the park comfortably.
🎨
Pinakothek Art Museums
The Kunstareal concentrates world-class museums. The Alte Pinakothek shelters Dürer, Rubens and Rembrandt, while the Pinakothek der Moderne covers modern art and design. Entry is only 1€ on Sundays at state museums. Pick one museum rather than rushing through several in a day.
🥨
Viktualienmarkt Food Tasting
This open-air market has sold produce since 1807. Build your own lunch with Obatzda cheese spread, Leberkäse rolls, fresh pretzels and regional sausages for about 10€ to 15€. Visit Monday to Saturday in the morning, as stalls are closed on Sundays.
🚗
BMW Welt and Museum
Futuristic showroom and museum tracing the brand's history from motorbikes to electric cars. BMW Welt is free to enter, while the museum costs around 12€. Take the U3 to Olympiazentrum and combine it with a climb up the Olympic Park hill for views.
🏰
Schloss Nymphenburg Park Walk
Less crowded than central sights, this baroque summer palace has vast gardens with canals, pavilions and swans. The park itself is free, while the palace ticket costs about 9€. Visit on a weekday morning and bring a picnic to enjoy by the lake.
