In Germany, school is mandatory for children from the September after their 6th birthday. Primary school
children (normally) have to visit the school in the district they live in, unless their parents decide to send them
to a private school. After four years at primary school, children move on to one of the types of secondary school:
Mittelschule, Realschule (two types of secondary school covering grades 5-9 or 5-10) or Gymansium (grammar
school). Traditionally, children are only at school until midday and go home for lunch. However, more and more
schools are offering lunch and additional afternoon childcare.
Munich also has a wide variety of international childcare and education possibilities for children of all ages.
Please be aware that the following list is only a small selection of what is offered in and around Munich,
especially regarding day care for children up to the age of 6.

The public transport system in Munich is very well-developed and is mostly very reliable. It includes U-Bahn
(underground), S-Bahn (suburban trains) and many trams and buses. The websites www.mvv-muenchen.de
and www.mvg.de offer all information you might need, also in English. If you have a ticket that needs validating
(e.g. single ticket, day ticket, strip ticket), please remember to stamp it in one of the machines before travelling.

As traffic in Munich can get very congested and public transport is so easy and reliable and covers all of the city
and its suburbs, think twice about buying a car if you are only travelling within Munich. If you do need a car
occasionally, try one of the many car sharing agencies for flexible and easy car hire:

STATTAUTO MÜNCHEN www.stattauto-muenchen.de
A fleet ranging from small cars to vans, also long-term. Cars are tied to pick-up and drop-off stations.

SHARE NOW www.share-now.com
Formed from the merger of car2go and DriveNow, Share Now is a joint venture of Daimler
AG and BMW providing carsharing services in urban areas in Europe. It has over four million registered members
and a fleet of over 14,000 vehicles in 18 cities across Europe.

SIXT share www.sixt.de/share
The car rental giant SIXT offers another flexible service in Munich with its SIXT Share offer. Since SIXT is not
dependent on one car manufacturer, many different types of vehicles are used here.

FLINKSTER www.flinkster.de
The carsharing operations of the railway and logistics company Deutsche Bahn (DB) in Germany. Flinkster
offers own cars (around 750) and access to those of regional partners, i.e. other car sharing companies (about
4000 vehicles in total).

MILES MOBILITY www.miles-mobility.com
Active in Berlin, Munich, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Hamburg, MILES is - similar to DriveNow or Car2Go - a freefloating provider. This means that the cars can be parked and rented anywhere in the business area on public
roads. The difference to the other providers: MILES does not charge in minutes, but in kilometres. This makes
sense especially in cities, because then traffic jams do not cost money.

Train travel around Germany is very reliable. Departures (Abfahrt) are posted on yellow timetables, arrivals
(Ankunft) on white ones. Passenger trains are listed in chronological order. The timetables indicate the train
number (Zug-Nr.), route (nach) via (über), platform (Bahnsteig) and/or track number (Gleis). Children under the
age of 15 travel free of charge when accompanied by an adult holding a valid ticket (applies to most ticket
categories). There is a wide variety of special train fares including:

- BahnCard (available as BahnCard 25, 50 or 100): Entitles you to reduced fares (25%, 50% or 100%) for one
year and costs around € 57, € 229 or € 4,027 for economy/second class. If parents/grandparents hold a
BahnCard, children under the age of 15 can accompany them free of charge.

- Sparpreis:
Tickets must be bought at least 3 days in advance, but can be as cheap as €29 for any travel within
Germany, even on the ICE.

- Länderticket – Bayernticket: Discounts for groups of up to five people travelling together on local trains.
Own children/grandchildren under the age of 15 travel free if there are no more than 2 adults in the group.
Small and medium-size dogs (in carrier) are free, large dogs count as a person, please check before you
travel. Please note that this ticket is only valid from 9 a.m. on weekdays!

All information including ticket purchase is available online at www.bahn.de (large selection of different
languages) or via the hotline 0180 699 66 33.
