Attractions and services with the München App
Launched in January by the city of Munich in collaboration with the München Ticket and the city portal muenchen.de, the München App promised "to open Munich’s doors faster and easier than ever", by simplifying access to Munich's attractions and services.
So far, locals seem to be very satisfied with the app, which allows users to purchase tickets, including admission to selected museums, exhibitions, concerts and swimming pools.
As the app continues to evolve, the plan is to expand its offerings to include more events and activities and for users to be able to use the app for public services, such as to make appointments with public authorities.
