Inside: Hamburg Airport

Hamburg Airport consists of two terminals. If you are flying with Air Berlin, your flight will leave from Terminal 1, while Lufthansa flights to Munich depart from Terminal 2. Both terminals are connected to one another and walking from one to the other is easy. There are lots of shopping and dining options, especially in the Airport Plaza that connects the terminals. One thing to keep in mind is that because the airport has centralized its security checkpoint, delays can happen during peak hours, so make sure you arrive for your flight with plenty of time to spare.

Landing at Munich Airport

If you are flying with Air Berlin, you will land at Terminal 1 of the Munich Airport, whereas Lufthansa flights land at Terminal 2. Both facilities are easy to use and Munich Airport has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most convenient and well-designed airports in the world. The S-Bahn (suburban railway) has a station at the airport and will get you to the city centre quickly and cheaply. If you head to the Munich Airport Center, a shopping and dining facility that connects the two terminals, you will find a number of car rental agencies if you'd rather have your own means of transportation during your stay.

Munich is regularly ranked as one of the best places to live in the world and a visit to the city will quickly reveal why. This city is Germany's cultural powerhouse, with some of the best museums and art galleries in the world, including the Glyptothek, Pinakotheken, and Deutsches Museum. The historic centre has been almost perfectly preserved and makes for some great sightseeing. Oktoberfest is the city's most famous festival and definitely something not to be missed. Munich is also the gateway to the Bavarian Alps, featuring some of the best skiing in the world, and also to the Neuschwanstein Castle, perhaps the most picturesque castle in the world and located two hours south of the city.
