Not to be the "UGLY AMERICAN" here, but be aware that while there is a very easy train from the airport into the city , with big signs in the airport pointing the way to the train, the kiosks used to buy the tickets on the platform are NOT IN ENGLISH--nor do they have those little Brittish flag emblem to translate, so it might help if they have a a smattering of german knowledge. (I, along with a number of other foreign travellers-- not all english/American, were pretty shocked that the instructions were only listed in german on any of the ticket machines in the airport terminal, especially given that MUC is such a big tourist destination.) This was the only major city where I found this to be an issue. Other than that minor hiccop, it is a very easy trip into the main train station, and the city itself is very easy to navigate
