Express bus from Munich airport to Prague

Is there an express bus from the Munich Airport that goes directly to Prague? I arrive in the morning in Munich and am considering going directly to Prague if there are multiple times and an easy connection. My other option is to spend anday or so in Munich and then do the train after being rested.

Any links to the bus website and how to find it as we are arriving on United.

Thank you

Kathy

The only direct bus is at 5:25 pm and is operated by DB IC Bus. You'd be better off taking the S-bahn to Hackerbruecke station and taking one of the busses from the nearby bus station.

If you have time when you get to Hackerbruecke before your bus goes you could wander over to the Augustiner Brau beer garden just down the hill a hundred or two metres and have a bite or a cold drink.

Very close. Very tasty.

When I was there last many people showed up with luggage in tow.

Here is the Bahn page for the IC bus - www.bahn.de/p_en/view/offers/national/ic-bus.shtml.

Looking at the Bahn schedule website, I see an IC bus leaving Hackerbrücke ZOB at 10:15. You would need to catch the 9:09 S1 from the airport in order to make that bus. The next direct IC bus from Munich to Prague is at 14:15 (2:15 PM). Meanwhile, there are other connections using the S-Bahn to Munich, an ICE to Nürnberg, and the Bahn IC bus from Nürnberg to Prague. It looks like advance purchase online Savings Fare tickets for those connections start at 29€. Be aware that advance purchase tickets are train/bus specific. If your flight is late, you could lose everything.

Thank you everyone. It might be best to stay by the train station for the day and night and enjoy the beer garden. Any suggestions on if this is a good place to stay and any good places to stay? Thanks again.
