Passau에서 Munich까지 Private car transfer

With Munich on the horizon, Daytrip’s professional English-speaking drivers will share easy conversation, many smiles, and local tips you won't want to miss out on. Our drivers know the area and can help you get acquainted with Munich before you set foot in the city. We can even accommodate a few sightseeing adventures in Straubing and Regensburg if you're in the mood for a taste of history before beginning your exploration of Munich.

Munich began as a monastery—like other European cities—and steadily grew into a settlement when the monks of the area were allowed by the Duke of Bavaria to establish a market near the Salzburg River crossing. The market drew crowds, and these crowds began to settle in the region. Over the years, Munich has been involved in many different historical events that have influenced everything from its architecture and culture to its food and people.

Nowadays, Munich is a vibrant and laid-back city well-known by travelers for its rich cultural calendar, seasonal festivals, stunning churches, memorable museums, and outstanding palaces. Travelers can easily spend an entire day wandering the city and exploring its markets, boutiques, and cafes, trying different versions of tasty konditorei—Munich's famous cake.

It's also worth noting that Munich is a city that loves the arts. From its world-class opera house that has flourished in recent years thanks to the Munich Philharmonic and the Bavarian State Opera Company to its dramatics arts association like the Bavarian State Dramatic Company and its many libraries.

The city is also nearly bursting with intriguing galleries, like the Bavarian State Picture Galleries, which houses some of the most magnificent treasures accumulated by the Wittlebach family. Some of these treasures, originating in the 16th century, are priceless. Those who are fans of Renaissance-era Dutch and German paintings or Flemish Baroque paintings should consider a tour.

However, no matter what you plan to do in Munich, whether it is simply museum hopping, trying every delicious pastry in sight, or booking a seat for an orchestra performance or exciting festival, Munich has something for everyone.

Be sure to carry cash

In Germany, many places accept cards, but smaller markets, stores, and local food shops, such as butchers and bakeries, still prefer cash.

So, if you plan to drive from Passau to Munich and want to stop and explore and buy a few things, it's best to carry cash. The same goes for wandering around Munich when you get to the city, as you likely don't want to miss out on a tasty treat because you forgot to draw a few euros.

Be aware of store closing times

Few people realize this, but Germany has incredibly strict rules regarding operating times. According to German law, most stores must be closed on Sundays and sometimes Saturdays too, if a public holiday falls on this date.

Unfortunately, this means that if you plan to travel to Munich over a weekend, you need to plan most of your shopping and sightseeing for Saturday. However, it is worth noting that a few places are exempt from this rule, like a few museums and bakeries, so just make sure you plan your trip properly.

Hire a private Daytrip driver

It might only be a two-hour drive from Passau to Munich, but why drive when you can hire a private driver with Daytrip and be driven to the city in luxury? Typically, hiring a private car service like Daytrip alleviates much of the travel stress and hassle one can face when traveling between two cities in Germany.

Not only will you not have to worry about navigating German road signs and roadways, but you'll also get to watch the beautiful scenery or brush up on your language skills with your driver. So consider Daytrip when looking for a convenient door-to-door service!

From Passau to Munich by train

The train is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to get from Passau to Munich. Since a trip only takes about two hours and 20 minutes by train, you shouldn't expect ticket prices to be too crazy. On average, a train ticket costs between $33 and $55 (€30-€50) depending on the train company you choose—OBB Intercity or Deutsche Bahn Regional—and the time you want to travel.

One big positive to train travel is that the earliest trains start departing at 4:40 AM, and the last trains depart at 9:28 PM, so there's more than enough time to catch one. However, you are not guaranteed a comfortable experience, nor will there be any sightseeing stops during your trip.

From Passau to Munich by bus

Only one bus line offers transportation from Passau to Munich: Flixbus. This bus service offers a few daily trips, but most trips are offered in the late evening, with individuals arriving in the early morning hours.

This is usually inconvenient for most travelers, so keep this in mind unless you plan on staying at a hostel in Munich or are going to make plans with your hotel for a late check-in. It's also worth noting that a ticket costs about 19 euros, and the trip can take between six hours, 40 minutes, and eight hours.

From Passau to Munich by private car transfer

When the choices are bus travel and train travel between Passau and Munich, we will choose the third option – driving with a private car service. Unlike bus and train travel, you get far more benefits and are more likely to enjoy your travel experience.

For example, if you travel with Daytrip, you won't have to worry about pesky timetables or rushing to train or bus stations since you'll get to choose when you travel. You'll also have the opportunity to create your own travel itinerary between Passau and Munich and add sightseeing stops along the way.

Unlike other door-to-door car services, Daytrips drivers are also more than willing to share their insider knowledge to enhance your travel experience. Not bad for only $59 (€54), right?

Neuschwanstein Castle

Who hasn't wanted to spend their holiday in a castle? If you're one of the many who has always wanted to tour a castle, you must visit Neuschwanstein Castle in Munich. With its beautiful snow-white limestone facade and magnificent turrets, this castle can be discreetly seen through the forested mountain tops of Hohenschwangau Valley. We promise that walking through its hallways will make you feel like a royal from days gone by.

Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady

Even if you're not religious, you should consider visiting the Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady, a world-famous Munich landmark. This awe-inspiring church features an incredible 325-foot tower topped with spherical domes.

It's not only beautiful to wander within, but it's also the tallest building in Munich. According to local ordinances, preserving the cathedral's central skyline position in Bavaria's capital is of the utmost importance, so no other building is allowed to be taller than it. Cool, huh?!

Victuals Market

If you're eager to try gourmet Bavarian goods, you must consider the Victuals Market. This historic market has been operating for decades and is the best place to try local cuisine and delicacies. Most stalls have been family-run for generations, so you can expect an authentic traditional outdoor market experience—there's no hint of commercialized goods.

So expect to see artisanal cheeses, truffles, fresh, exotic fruits, beautiful flowers, spices, hams and sausages, honey, and craft beer. You can buy anything to enjoy on the spot or keep it for a picnic at the English Garden, one of the prettiest and largest urban parks in the world.
