Arrived and departed from Munich Central Station (München Hauptbahnhof) during a recent trip to Austria and Germany. There was a bit of construction taking place and fairly large crowds, many making way out to the Oktoberfest celebrations. Because of construction taking place, the lockers available seem to have been greatly reduced at the moment. This is something to be aware of for those aiming to use such services. Platforms are organised well, signage makes it easy to find departure location and there are loads of destination departures so plenty of travel options from Munich Hbf.

Munich's Hbf - primary train station. It's pretty easy to take the S-Bahn or U-Bahn from here to see the city or head elsewhere in the area. Just be mindful of your belongings as there are still panhandlers and pickpockets throughout the station looking for easy targets. It's a construction zone for now though on the surface level, so plan accordingly to have to backtrack and take poorly labeled routes to get around at times.

It’s hard to visit Munich without at least passing through the main train station. A central hub for the trains and local tram system, the station is also filled with restaurants, cafés, kiosks, and shops. There are lots of good options for grabbing a quick snack or meal on the go.
