The heart of Munich is an easy area for pedestrians. The train station and the Marienplatz are .6 miles(1km) away from one another. If you prefer to venture away from the traditional tourist spots, however, public transportation is recommended.
S-Bahn lines serve the suburbs (think of the "s" in suburb) and are accessible via Eurail, InterRail and German railpasses. U-Bahn lines are concentrated downtown (think "u" for urban) and do not run in conjunction with rail passes.
Short-trip: €2.20
10-trip ticket for use by multiple people: €10
One-day: €4.50
One-day up to five adults and a dog: €9
Three days: €11
