Easy to use and find with food and other options - it's one of the hubs for the local stations and where you can swap trains and head into other parts of Germany outside of the city of Munich. We transited through here to get to Salzburg and see a few nearby castles while in town for 9 days. We found it a bit more confusing to navigate than the Central Station but were easily able to find snacks and foods for lunch and find our platforms. read more

Due to its proximity to our Munich hotel, Ostbahnhof was our "home base" when traveling. It's large and can be a bit confusing (as any subway/train/hub of travel can be to those who aren't used to it), but once you get the hang of the hallways, stairs and turns, it's easy to navigate. We took many a train to and from our second "home base", Marienplatz. The thing that I loved about starting and ending at Ostbhanhof was the fact that we could take practically any train - going in the correct direction, of course - if we wanted to stop at Marienplatz. That meant we rarely had to wait for a train, which was an added bonus, given we were there in the middle of winter, and there is no shelter from the cold, wind and rain on the platforms. Signage is plentiful, there are plenty of ticket machines scattered throughout the station, and one can buy anything from pastries and coffee to lotions and toothpaste without having to leave the relative warmth of the station itself. Our last train out of Ostbahnhof was the one to Salzburg, so we were able to connect locally as well as "internationally". It definitely made it easy for weary travelers, with just a bit of German language on their side. read more

I took the S-line to this station. it didn't take long to arrive and the actual station was fairly easy to navigate. It's on the larger end of the spectrum, but that also means it has a few shops and eateries, as well as toilets available. It seemed clean overall. I only took it one way (to a craft beer bar nearby) and easily hailed a taxi on the way back. Prime location, not sketchy, all in all a good train station in Munich. read more

A lovely and simple train station that connects Munich to the outside surrounding stations (further out). There were I believe ten to ten to twelve platforms and the meats of the restaurants, shops, bathrooms and ticket offices are all underground. There were around 6-10 food options ranging from bakeries and döner to German and Burger King. Note that the bathroom will cost you one euro at this station. The bakeries were stunning! I was very appreciative of the helpful and friendly gentleman working the ticket counter. He made the purchasing process easy and comprehendible. The platforms offer plenty of shade and benches if you find yourself there for a bit between trains. read more

A tip for hungry foreign travelers: Quality of food is very low at the Ostbahnhof. There is a much better option -only 5mins walk away. Check out the new "Werksviertel" district. How to get there: Inside the Ostbahnhof, pass all the platforms and exit on the other side, turn right and walk down the Friendenstraße, turn second left on Atelierstraße and look for building "Werk 3". In that area you'll find decent food with reasonable prices during lunch time. read more

A handy station if you're on this side of town. Lot's of S-Bahn lines and plenty of regional trains come through here. Quite a few shops, cafes, etc read more
