Right now I’m still on the fence with where to book the hotel because I want it to be near the airport but like some of you pointed out, there’s not much to see near the airport.
should I get an Uber to the airport in the early morning hours? I don’t even know if Germany has Uber or not. I wonder if the hotels near the airport have any free shuttle buses in the morning?
I'm not sure if the public transit runs on normal schedule on Sundays or not. And what time does service end in Munich? I’m assuming it doesn’t run 24 hours(?)
Did you visit Germany before? Without wanting to offend you, but it sounds like you have quite the wrong idea about Munich. You can't even begin to compare the city with American cities. Most of the sights are located in the city center, for example, where you can walk from one side to the other in a maximum of 30 minutes. And yes, the trains are definitely adapted to the flight schedule.
I know Uber is popular. But if you don't want to take public transportation, regular cabs are often cheaper. Incidentally, this is also the case in the USA, recently Uber wanted three times the price of a regular cab (which you can hardly find any more, of course).
To summarize: Munich is really no challenge and very easy to explore. Almost everyone speaks English, even Germans are often spoken to in English at tourist attractions or hotels.
