Hi, there is a train connection (S3) from the airport to the main railway station in Stuttgart. The ride takes about 30 mins. Don%26#39;t know the price of a ticket but it should not be too bad. From Stuttgart to Munich there are generally two trains per hour. The cost of a ticket will vary from 40 to 50 Euro per person depending on the type of train/time of day/etc. Check out http://bahn.hafas.de for train schedules and ticket prices, the site has an English language option. Can%26#39;t help you with German Wings.

I fly GermanWings frequently and always enjoy flying with them. They are a subsidiary of EuroWings which is a subsidiary of Lufthansa. There an excellent airline. As previously mentioned, the S-bahn ride takes about a half hour from the airport to the main train station, and can be purchased as part of your train journey. Besides the local transportation networks ticket machines, there are also ones for the trains one floor down. If you arrive at Terminals 1/2 go right upon exiting the baggage claim for the tourist office. If arriving at Terminals 3/4, turn left after exiting baggage claim for the tourist office. Besides tourist information (get a free map of Stuttgart in the language of your choice which has a 1-3 hour walk to visit the sights in central Stuttgart), they can sell you train tickets where you will be dealing with a person instead of a machine.

For tourist information look at www.stuttgart-tourist.de . The world%26#39;s largest Spring beer festival will be coming soon 12Apr-4May, www.stuttgarter-fruehlingsfest.de .

Train information can be found on www.bahn.de . If you are a small group, it might be cheaper to get both Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria group tickets for 2-5 people for the train trip, which are good for the day with a few restrictions, only regional trains which may be slower, and also no travel before 9AM on weekdays. You can also investigate whether GermanWings participates in a fly and train program to get cheap train tickets.
