After a pandemic-related interruption of several months, the visitor tours at Munich Airport will start again next weekend. The tours will begin on Saturday, February 26th.
From this point on, two daily bus tours will be offered again from Wednesday to Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and 15:00 p.m. During the tours, participants will get a glimpse behind the scenes of an international airport. "Experienced tour guides provide visitors with a lot of useful information about current air traffic events," the airport said in a press release. The 60G rule and FFP3 masks are mandatory for the 2-minute "Airport Live Tour". In addition, the buses will only be half full to ensure sufficient distance between participants on the tours.
Airport tours have a long tradition in Munich. Already 70 years ago the fascination of air traffic attracted numerous visitors
Munich-Riem. In 1952, more than 50 guided tours with around 2.200 participants took place at the former airport. With the opening of the new airport in May 1992, visitor interest increased again significantly. Before the pandemic in 2019, more than 66.000 guests took part in one of the around 2.500 visitor tours.
