Hi,
We will be doing the cruise only portion of a Danube cruse and will disembark in Deggendorf one morning and fly out of Munich the next day. I am looking for suggestions on transportation to get to Munich and where to stay for one night in Munich that will allow us to sightsee around the central city and get to airport fairly easily the next morning...
Thanks in advance!
Take a regional train from Deggendorf to Plattling (9 min), change in Plattling to another regional train (about 1½ hr) to Munich. The change in Plattling is an 8 min, one platform change, which should not be a problem unless you are weighed down by luggage from your cruise. The trip should take less than 2 hours.
A Bayern-Ticket for 2, for 31 euro, will cover the entire trip as well as any local transportation once you get to Munich.
I would stay in Munich near the town center, Marienplatz. Here is a pension just a few blocks from Marienplatz. Alternatively, you could stop in Freising on the way to Munich and check into a hotel there. Then continue on to Munich, spend time sightseeing and return to Freising for the night, all on the Bayern-Ticket. The next morning, it's a 20 minute, 2,80€/person bus ride from the Freising Bhf to the airport. Here is a place to stay in Freising.
The station (Bahnhof Deggendorf) is around 2km from the cruise ship quay . While it is walkable in about 20 minutes, with luggage you may prefer a taxi.

I guess it kinda depends on what you like. Freising is home to Weihenstephan, the world's oldest brewery. You can take the tour or just sit in the shade in the outdoor Biergarten enjoying German food and bier.
But the main thing is that the train from Plattling stops there on the way to Munich and you can get from there to downtown Munich and back on the S-Bahn, and it is close to the airport for the next morning.

Sounds like a perfect location!
Thanks!
Thanks, SteveB! Great suggestions! 🤗
