Overview: car trip from Stuttgart to Munich
The car trip from Stuttgart to Munich takes just 2.5 hours, and with a private driving service, you can make the most of the transfer by stopping en route to visit fascinating historical sites you might otherwise miss.
Consider a visit to the intricate Neo-Gothic Lichtenstein Castle, named after the romantic novel by Wilhelm Hauff. The site has a storied past that visitors can learn about while roaming its well-preserved interior and enjoying the incredible views across the valley below. This castle tends to be less crowded than some of the larger establishments in Germany, making it an excellent choice for a stopover (especially for lunch in the castle’s own restaurant!)
Or, you may choose to stop at Augsburg for its Rococo monuments or at Hohle Fels cave for a glimpse of Germany’s natural wonder.
However you approach the journey, a Daytrip private car transfer will get you to Munich safely and comfortably with seamless door-to-door service.
About Munich
After your Stuttgart to Munich transfer, you will find yourself in an artistic and historical hub with plenty of exciting opportunities for travelers. Munich is an iconic feature of Germany for beer lovers and history buffs alike. The capital of the Free State of Bavaria, Munich is one of the most visited places in Germany - particularly during Oktoberfest.
The vibrant, bustling city is home to a range of historical landmarks and cultural attractions, as well as art studios and museums celebrating German heritage. Munich is, of course, most famous for its beer culture, with its oldest beer hall, Hofbrauhaus, serving drinks since 1589 and seeing visits from famous figures throughout history (including Mozart). There are a variety of taverns and pubs for every taste, alongside restaurants serving up classic German fare such as pretzels and pork dishes.
The city’s Oktoberfest celebrations are also the biggest in the world, attended by an estimated 6 million people each year. The festivities involve carnival attractions, plenty of street food, and, of course, beer by the liter.
Outside of the festival, Munich is home to attractions such as the English Garden, one of the world’s largest parks, which hosts a beer garden, water activities, and artistic performances throughout the year. There is also the stunning Marienplatz and its promenade or Olympia Park (which offers ice skating in the cooler months!).
Come to Munich for the incredible beer scene, and stay for the many opportunities to mingle with the friendly locals and learn more about German history, art, and folklore.

How to get from Stuttgart to Munich
There are a few options for covering the distance from Stuttgart to Munich, including both private and public transportation, depending on your time constraints and budget. The most convenient option for many people is to take a private driving transfer, while the least feasible tends to be flights (given the high costs and time commitments required).
Trains from Stuttgart to Munich
One of the fastest ways to get from Stuttgart to Munich is with a train route, the #11 Train has a travel time of just under 2 hours. Tickets cost around $45-90 (€42-84) per person. A night train along this route (#87) takes almost 2.5 hours but generally offers cheaper tickets at around $50 (€46).
Buses from Stuttgart to Munich
The bus routes from Stuttgart to Munich take longer to traverse the distance, with a travel time between 3 hours and 15 minutes and almost 4 hours, depending on the route. The fastest bus option tends to be by FlixBus, and tickets cost around $19-27 (€18-25).
Flights from Stuttgart to Munich
There are direct flights from Stuttgart to Munich, with a travel time of about 3 hours. This is by far the most expensive option, ranging from $114-316 (€106-295). Keep in mind that you will need to arrive at the airport well in advance of your departure time and that you will need to factor in transportation to and from the airports in either city. Ultimately, because the distance is so short, this option is more costly and time-consuming than it is worth.

This is the best option for travelers seeking maximum comfort and flexibility or for those with accessibility needs or more luggage that could be uncomfortable when navigating public transport.
Things to do when you get to Munich
After your Stuttgart to Munich transfer, you can look forward to the wealth of activities offered by this vibrant, friendly city. From the many beer halls to the different outdoor parks, Munich has something for everyone.
Get a beer at Hofbrauhaus
The oldest and perhaps the most well-known brew house in Munich is the Hofbrauhaus, which gives visitors a taste of traditional German beer halls. The interior is decorated with classical folk art, and the property includes a ballroom for dancing and an Inn garden to enjoy your beer on the sunniest days.
There are a variety of traditionally brewed beers on tap, and while here you can learn a bit about the history of beer and the brewing arts in Germany, as the site used to be a brewery itself.
Visit the Hellabrunn Zoo
One of the best family-friendly attractions in Munich is the Hellabrunn Zoo, home to over 500 animal species with exhibits featuring environments from 5 continents. The zoo sits on just under 100 acres of land and includes a diverse aquarium as well as a few food options on-site.
Tour the New Town Hall
The New Town Hall is the center of politics in Munich and is recognizable for its intricate spires. The main tower also includes an observation deck, offering panoramic views across the city from high above. The balcony also happens to be where the Bayern Football Club stands to greet their fans and celebrate after big game wins.
See the Munich Residence
The Munich Residence, also known as the Bavarian Palace, is an elaborate royal complex and is the largest palace standing in any German city center. The richly decorated interior features vaulted ceilings with intricate murals and incredibly detailed paintings lining the walls. It is best to buy tickets for your tour of the palace in advance, as they can sometimes sell out or become very crowded during peak tourism season.
When is the best time to visit Munich?
As you plan your travel from Stuttgart to Munich, it is important to consider the best time of year for your trip’s priorities. If you are not planning to attend the Oktoberfest celebrations, it may be worth avoiding the end of September through early October, as crowds and costs will both be up due to the influx of tourism in Munich.
For similarly mild weather without the festivities, consider the spring shoulder season from March to June. Or, if you can handle a bit of a crowd and colder weather, visit in December to witness one of Europe’s best Christmas markets and all of the festive season’s delights.

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand
“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Dec 4, 2024Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!
“We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.”
