Webcams

Why is there no webcam at Munich Airport?

The supervisory authority responsible for Munich Airport, the "Luftamt Südbayern" does not allow the airport to be equipped with webcams. According to the safety authority, potential risks are associated with this at an international airport. The references to webcams at other airports have not changed this attitude either. Therefore, we are not able to offer this service on our website.

Live experience instead of webcam

Even without a webcam, you can experience Munich Airport up close: from our visitor hill, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the entire airport grounds – perfect for watching planes take off and land up close. On our observation deck with the Cloud 7 restaurant, panoramic views and culinary delights combine to create an unforgettable experience.

If you want to not only see the airport but also take a look behind the scenes, our airport tours are just the thing for you. Whether it's a apron tour, exclusive insights into the baggage sorting system, or visits to the airport fire department – here you can experience the operations of an international hub up close.
