Experience the airport

With packed grandstands, booked-out workshops and a spectacular final showdown – the second Bike & Style sports festival, which took place in the MAC Forum from August 3–19 2018, was a big success. Despite the record-breaking summer weather, around 50,000 visitors came down with bike fever. 

Convenient parking right at the terminal, getting work done at the departure gate, or a quick haircut or manicure on the way to your next meeting – Munich Airport has a wide range of services to make life easy for business travellers.

To complement the big FC Bayern flagship store in the Munich Airport Center, the perennial Bundesliga champions opened a second fan shop in the Terminal 2 departure area. 

With the start of test operations in mid-February 2018, Munich Airport became Germany's first airport to try out a humanoid robot equipped with artificial intelligence. In a trial period lasting several weeks, Josie  Pepper will welcome travelers to the non-public area of Terminal 2

She is 120 centimeters tall, with sparkling, round eyes and a pleasant voice: Starting today, "Josie Pepper" the robot will be answering questions for passengers in Terminal 2. Whether they need directions to their gate or want to stop at a certain restaurant or shop – Josie Pepper will look them in the eyes and give them a prompt answer

This year's edition of the ever-popular Christmas Market is now open in the Munich Airport Center Forum (MAC). For the 19th straight year, the big covered space between the terminals has been turned into a winter wonderland. Visitors can stroll between more than 40 stands that offer seasonal foods and refreshments, local handicrafts and unique gift ideas. And at the heart of the market is the perennial highlight: the 600 square meter ice rink, where visitors can lace on skates or test their skills at Eisstockschiessen – Bavaria's traditional broom-free version of curling. Skating is free of charge and rental skates are available at for a nominal fee.

The face is a mirror of the soul. It reveals what defines a person - the memories and experiences, fears and longings. The Italian artist Marco Pejrolo (right) attempts to capture all of this in his pictures.
