What’s Good with the Munich City Pass by Turbopass
The Munich City Pass by Turbopass eliminates the need to stand in line waiting for tickets at each and every attraction you want to visit. As long as you’re carrying your smartphone, you already have your one-and-only ticket in hand, making the Munich City Pass a tremendously convenient product. Still, if you prefer a paper copy of the pass, you can print it out at home in advance of your trip and that’ll work perfectly fine, too.
Your Munich City Pass comes with a complimentary map of the city. If you prefer a hard copy of this map, you can pick one up in person from a Tourist Information site when you arrive in the city. Otherwise, you can download a PDF version of the city map straight to your smartphone right off the Munich Turbopass official website.
When you purchase a Munich City Pass, you’ll have the option of adding a public transportation ticket; it’ll be your choice of a public transportation ticket that covers either the “inner area” of Munich or the “entire area” of Munich, which includes the airport. With this transport ticket in hand, you’ll be able to ride local buses, trains, and trams with no hassle whatsoever, all as part of your Munich City Pass. What’s more, if you’re not interested in local public transportation, you can simply decline the optional add-on.
In addition to covering the cost of admission at approximately 45 local attractions, your Munich City Pass provides numerous extra discounts at participating local businesses. This includes several well-regarded area shops and restaurants, as well as various entertainment options. For more information, check out the relevant page of the official Munich Turbopass website.
What Could Get Better?
As useful as many visitors find the public transportation ticket to be, Munich City Pass does make you pick “inner area” or “entire area” at the time of purchase, and you’ll be unable to alter this choice down the road if your travel needs change. Many visitors won’t have any issues with this situation; however, it does require you to commit to a logistics plan in advance and some travelers might want to retain maximum flexibility throughout their trip.
If you want to purchase a multi-day pass, be advised that the Munich City Pass is only available as a product that’s valid for consecutive days, and once you’ve purchased your pass, you can’t alter its duration without being charged a cancellation fee. These facts may not prove a dealbreaker for many customers, but some might resent the lack of flexibility on both accounts.
Get Your Money’s Worth with the Munich City Pass by Turbopass
Of course, the most basic rule of thumb when trying to maximize the value of your Munich City Pass is to simply use it at as many attractions as possible. Furthermore, prioritize those attractions whose standard admission prices are the highest, and avoid Sundays when planning your Munich City Pass usage, especially if you’re a “museum person.” That’s because many Munich museums already offer significantly reduced admission prices on Sundays. If you go on Sunday be prepared for some wait times to get in.
You can extend the value of your Munich City Pass by Turbopass that much further by using it for discounts at participating local attractions. For example, your Munich City Pass entitles you to 15% off the standard price of the popular “Concert and Dinner” option at beautiful Nymphenburger Castle, as well as a free third ticket at Escape Game Munich when you’ve already used two Munich City Passes.
