Transport
The public transport network in Germany, specifically in the region of Bavaria works perfectly, it is comfortable and punctual.
The ticket machines always have translation in English and sometimes in Spanish.
In Munich, there are buses, trains, trams and the underground. Due to the variety of options, it is difficult to find the most suitable one for each case. The company that manages it is MVG.
Surf in Eisbach
To get from the Airport to the city we took the Partner-Tageskarte with which two to five people can travel together for the Außenraum zones (Grüne, Gelbe, rote Zone) cost us 10.60€. However in tripadvisor there is a post from Saruca78 that can help you.
Accommodation
Munich is not exactly a cheap city, we are staying at a friend's house so we can't advise you any accommodation, but at booking, you can book the accommodation that best suits your possibilities.
Subway
Health and safety
Munich is a very safe city but before travelling it is advisable to take out travel insurance. If you are an EU citizen, the European Health Insurance Card is valid, ask for it before you travel.

Gastronomy
Bavarian dishes are generous and hearty. They are famous for their salcichas, different for each moment of the day, so those of the traditional breakfast are sweeter and are taken cooked with a good beer and brezel or pretzel accompanied by sweet mustard.
The cheeses are delicious. Kartoffelsalta or potato salad, roast ham or herrings stand out among the main dishes. All of them washed down with a good warm beer.
Bavarian traditional breakfast
Many monasteries brewed their own beer. Also interesting is the hot wine seasoned with fruits and spices accompanied by some sweets.
Our recommendation from our lack of beer knowledge, the Augustiner is the richest by far of the Bavarian beers, in Augustiner Brau we had dinner and everything delicious.
