Munich hop-on hop-off bus: both bus listings compared
The Munich hop-on hop-off bus on this site is one listing: a panoramic double-decker sold as a one-day or two-day ticket for $27, with 4,805 reviews at 4.3. Its route runs from Olympic Park to Nymphenburg Palace and you get on or off whenever you like. It is this site’s top pick, the most reviewed of the 14 main sightseeing listings. To be plain, there are two bus listings here: the second is a five-hour city bus tour with a guided Allianz Arena tour at $57, 2,411 reviews at 4.5. A Segway at $73 and a rickshaw at $112 are the alternatives on smaller wheels.
Quick answer
The short answer. Take the $27 hop-on ticket if you want to set your own pace between Olympic Park and Nymphenburg Palace. Take the $57 city bus tour if you want the main sights and a guided tour of the Allianz Arena in one five-hour block; that listing is flagged likely to sell out.

One day or two
One-day or two-day ticket: what the listing settles
One listing, two ticket lengths, and a short list of things worth checking first.
The Munich Hop-On Hop-Off Tour sells both ticket lengths under one listing, and $27 is the price that listing starts from. The price of the two-day ticket is shown when you choose it at booking; it is not in the description, so it is not quoted here.
What the description does state is short: a double-decker bus, panoramic views, a route that reaches from Olympic Park to Nymphenburg Palace, and the right to get on or off the bus anytime you like. That is why the listing has no fixed length. A ticket is valid for one day or two, and how many hours of it you spend on board is your call.
The number of stops, how often the buses run and the first and last departures are not in the description either. The listing shows the current timetable, so check it against your own day before you decide between one day and two.

Check availability→ Is it worth it
Is the Munich hop-on hop-off bus worth it?
The numbers cut both ways. The hop-on ticket has 4,805 reviews, twice the 2,411 of the city bus tour, and the lowest price of the four at $27. It also has the lowest rating of the four: 4.3, against 4.5 for the city bus tour, 4.5 for the Segway and 4.9 for the rickshaw.
So it is worth it for what it is: the lowest-priced way on this site to cover the ground between Olympic Park and Nymphenburg Palace under your own timetable. If you want a guide beside you for the price, the two-hour Old Town walk at $25 is rated 4.7 on 655 reviews.
That walk is also where the site’s from price comes from. The $25 walk is the lowest-priced main sightseeing listing; the $27 bus is the most reviewed one, which is why it stays the top pick. Booked together they come to $52 for a day that covers the centre on foot and the outer sights by bus.
The arena tour by bus and the $21 museum ticket, set against each other.
Allianz Arena, two ways→Not a bus
Smaller wheels: the Segway and the rickshaw
Neither is a substitute for a day ticket, but both answer the same wish to see the highlights without walking them. The Segway tour is guided, two hours, $73, and its listing mentions the Hofgarten and Ludwigstrasse. At $36.50 an hour it costs about three times the hourly figure of the city bus tour.
The rickshaw is the flexible one. The listing calls it a relaxed e-rickshaw tour with a local guide, quotes one to five hours and puts the Old Town and the English Garden on the route. Its 4.9 rating is the highest of the four, on 196 reviews.
Guided bike tours start at $44 and have their own page.

Munich hop-on hop-off bus: common questions
Is the Munich hop-on hop-off bus worth it?
For covering distance at your own pace, yes on price: $27, with 4,805 reviews. Its 4.3 rating is the lowest of the four listings on this page, so read recent reviews on the listing before you book.
Is one day enough, or is the two-day ticket the better buy?
The listing sells both and leaves the choice to you. Its description names a route from Olympic Park to Nymphenburg Palace; check the timetable on the listing and count the stops you want to get off at.
How much is the two-day ticket?
The listing starts at $27. The two-day price appears when you select that option at booking and is not stated in the description.
Where does the hop-on bus stop?
The description names Olympic Park and Nymphenburg Palace. The full list of stops and the boarding point are shown on the listing.
Does the hop-on bus include the Allianz Arena?
Its description does not mention the arena. The listing that does is the City Bus Tour & FC Bayern Munich Allianz Arena Tour at $57, five hours with a guided arena tour.
What is the difference between the two bus listings?
The $27 listing is a ticket: you ride and get off as you like for one day or two. The $57 listing is a five-hour tour with a set programme that ends at the Allianz Arena, its museum and its fan store.
Can the bus ticket be cancelled?
All four listings on this page show Free cancellation. The deadline is written on each listing.
