The Munich City Pass includes entry to participating attractions. The Munich Card gives discounts. The standard City Pass doesn’t include public transport. One adult day of the admission-only pass costs €39.90, so add up the places you’d pay to visit before buying.

Which should you buy, the City Pass or the Card?
Choose the City Pass if you’re fitting several paid sights or tours into one or more consecutive days. Look at the Munich Card if you’d rather spread out your sightseeing and use the discounts as you go. If your plans are mostly parks, markets and a single museum, start by pricing separate tickets.
We’ve bought it ourselves and tried it so we know it works.
In our experience, it’s a convenient way to make the most of your visit to this amazing city and it represents cracking good value for the outlay.
That’s our experience with an earlier version. The prices and inclusions below are from the current Munich Tourism comparison.
What does the Munich City Pass cost?
| Consecutive days | Adult price without MVV |
|---|---|
| 1 | €39.90 |
| 2 | €53.90 |
| 3 | €59.90 |
| 4 | €67.90 |
| 5 | €68.90 |
For one day, the adult pass is €55.90 with Zone M public transport or €66.90 with the full MVV network, including the airport. A one-day pass without transport costs €19.90 for ages 15 to 17 and €14.90 for ages 6 to 14. Check the exact dates and ticket types on the official booking page.
You choose the dates when you buy. The City Pass starts at midnight on your first day and ends at 6 am after your last day. Each venue still has its own opening hours. A 2 pm visit doesn’t start a fresh 24-hour pass.
When does it save money?
Two museums alone cost less than the one-day pass in this example. Adding the sightseeing bus changes the answer.
| Adult itinerary | Separate tickets | Cheaper option |
|---|---|---|
| Deutsches Museum and Pinakothek der Moderne | €28 | Separate tickets by €11.90 |
| Both museums plus the Green sightseeing bus | €54 | One-day pass by €14.10 |
The example uses the main Deutsches Museum at €18, the Pinakothek der Moderne at €10 on a regular day and the Green hop-on hop-off tour at the pass operator’s listed €26.
Write down the stops you’d choose anyway. Compare their tickets for your dates and add transport separately. A Sunday museum price or a discounted ticket changes the calculation.
What’s new in 2026?
The Deutsches Museum raised the main Museumsinsel adult day ticket to €18 on 2 November. That is the price used in the comparison above. Museum announcement, 13 October 2026
Which attractions are included?
The operator’s current list includes the Deutsches Museum, the Pinakothek der Moderne, the Residenz and Nymphenburg Palace. It also lists the FC Bayern Museum. Check the stadium’s ticket options if you want an arena tour as well. Venue reservations and any priority entry depend on the individual listing.
Leave the Neue Pinakothek out of your plan while the gallery is closed for renovation. Read our guide to Munich transport if you’re deciding whether to add the MVV ticket. An included sightseeing bus tour is a separate attraction from Munich’s public transport.
