Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Central Europe ↗Six of the nine countries here — Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia — charge a time-based motorway vignette, mostly digital and linked to the number plate; buy it before the first motorway past the border, because cameras, not toll booths, do the checking.
  • Central Europe ↗Temporary police checks at internal Schengen borders are common in this region in 2026 (Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia among others — check): keep your passport on you on every cross-border train, bus and road even though there is no fixed control post.
  • Germany ↗Germany is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
  • Germany ↗Nazi symbols and gestures are criminal offences, including as jokes or souvenirs.
  • Germany ↗Many city centres are low-emission zones: a car needs the right sticker (Umweltplakette) to enter.

Erding is a 36,000-person town 10 km south of Munich Airport, with two reasons to stop: Therme Erding, Europe's largest sauna and spa complex, and the Erdinger Weissbraeu brewery tour. The old centre is small and walkable, the S2 S-Bahn reaches Munich in about 50 minutes, and most travellers use it as an airport-adjacent base rather than a destination.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

The centre is small enough to walk end to end in about 20 minutes; locals also cycle. City buses cover the outer districts. Two S-Bahn stations (Erding, Altenerding) sit on line S2, roughly every 20 min, about 50 min to Munich Central Station.

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Old town around Lange Zeile

Restaurants, bars and the small hotels; walk to both S-Bahn stations.

Near Therme Erding / Altenerding

For spa days: Altenerding S-Bahn station is the closer of the two.

Airport-side hotels

If you only need a bed before a flight, the airport area beats Erding for transfers.

Watch out

Safety

Erding is a low-crime small town and feels safe day and night; the practical risks are winter ice on pavements, cycling traffic, and cash-only restaurants.
  • Therme Erding sauna area is nude-only and has its own rules; read them before booking.
  • Brewery tours sell out in German school-holiday weeks: book ahead.
  • Some traditional restaurants take no cards; carry cash.
  • Late S2 trains thin out; check the last connection back from Munich.
