Changing Trains At Munich Hbf

It is about 500 yds, and at a relaxing walking pace, 10 minutes should be sufficient. If your inbound train is too late for you to make the connection, you can take the next available train.

The trip has 1 change in Munich with a 17 minute window to go between trains. The platforms for the Frankfurt and Salzburg trains seem to be on nearly opposite sides of the station.

Don't worry. The train from Frankfurt will arrive at the north side of the main hall (approximately platform 20) and from there it is about 300 metres to the departure point of the Salzburg train (platforms 5-10). DB's official transfer time between the main hall and platform 5-10 is 10 minutes, but despite my age (70+) I claim to be able to make it in five minutes. Access to platform 5-10 is along the southern wall of the main hall via platform 11 (signposted). Pl. 5-10 are located outside the main hall to the west (from where the trains enter the main hall).

you can take the next available train

I.e. ÖBB's RJ, DB's EC and the local BRB, but not Westbahn trains, which is a private company that does not share tickets with the other carriers.

Thank you! These answers are very helpful!

Safe travels to you wherever you go!

If you're on time, 17 minutes is enough to squeeze in a stop to the convenience mart / bakery and grab a beer and a bite for your second leg.
