Planning a trip from Tbilisi to Munich? Then the information in this article will certainly come in handy as you put your trip together.
Munich is one of Germany’s most distinctive cities and the capital of Bavaria, the country’s most beautiful region. Its architecture is the first thing that catches a visitor’s eye, much of it built in the neo-Gothic style. Travellers also know Munich for its beer, and for many people that alone is reason enough to visit. The city is of course home to “Oktoberfest”, the most famous beer festival in the world, held here every year.

Schedule and aircraft on the direct flight
Lufthansa currently operates the non-stop Tbilisi to Munich service daily. Departures from Tbilisi are early in the morning, roughly between 05:00 and 06:15, which means getting to the airport during the night, at least two to three hours before take-off. The route is flown by Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft, with both Economy and Business class on board. Timetables shift with the season, so check the exact departure time on the airline’s own website before you book.
In Munich, Lufthansa arrives at Terminal 2. Most Star Alliance flights are handled from the same terminal, so if you have an onward connection from Munich you will probably not need to change terminals.
Getting from Munich Airport into the city centre
The airport sits some way out of town to the north-east, but public transport makes the trip straightforward:
- S-Bahn (suburban train): lines S1 and S8 link the airport with the city centre and run every 10 to 20 minutes. The S8 reaches Marienplatz in about 38 minutes and the central station (Hauptbahnhof) in about 40; the S1 takes roughly 45 minutes to Hauptbahnhof.
- Lufthansa Express Bus: departs about every 20 minutes and reaches the central station in roughly 45 minutes. It is the easier option if you are travelling with heavy luggage.
- Taxi or ride-hailing apps: about 30 to 45 minutes to the centre, depending on traffic.
One thing to watch: on the way out to the airport, S1 trains split in two at Neufahrn and only the rear carriages continue to the airport, so check the destination shown on the carriage before you board.
For the journey between the airport and the city you need an MVV zone M-5 ticket, which also covers onward travel by U-Bahn, tram and bus. Fares are revised from time to time, so check the current price on the official MVV website before you travel.
Worth knowing before you fly
- Baggage allowance depends on the fare. The cheapest Economy fares often include hand luggage only, with checked bags sold separately, so read the conditions carefully before buying.
- On connecting itineraries leave at least 1.5 to 2 hours for the transfer, especially if the two flights were bought on separate tickets — in that case the airline is not responsible for a missed connection.
- Germany is part of the Schengen Area. Before departure, check the visa and border rules that apply to you, the validity of your passport and any travel insurance requirements.
- Most shops in Munich are closed on Sundays, which is worth keeping in mind when planning your days.
