From the 28-metre-high visitor hill, the lively activity at Munich Airport can be observed up close.

Experience Munich Airport at close range

Explore historic aircraft and learn more about the airport in the interactive exhibition: a visit to Munich’s Franz Josef Strauss Airport and its Visitor Park is a special experience for guests of all ages.

Let yourself be inspired by this popular excursion destination and discover its wide range of attractions. After climbing around 172 steps to the top of the visitor hill, you are rewarded with impressive views of the airport apron as well as the two runways. For a small admission fee (approx. €1 per person), you can watch flight operations for as long as you like.

At the foot of the hill, historic aircraft are on display, including classics such as the Ju 52, the Super Constellation and the Douglas DC-3. Depending on the season and availability, some of these aircraft can also be viewed from the inside. Films and audio recordings provide additional insights into the history of aviation.
