Munich's public transport network (MVV) covers the city and surrounding region with U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram, and bus services. For dog owners: dogs in a carrier travel free on all MVV services; larger dogs need a child's ticket (Kleinkinderticket) and must wear a muzzle. The S-Bahn reaches Munich Airport (MUC) — a useful option for arrival and departure with a dog. Source: mvv-muenchen.de

| Tram & Bus (MVV) | Same rules as U-Bahn/S-Bahn. Small dogs in carriers: free. Larger dogs: Kleinkinderticket + muzzle required. | 💡 Munich's trams are less busy than the U-Bahn and generally easier for dog travel. |
