Tourist trap S1: Münchner pull the alarm bells for travelers!

In Munich, a survey on the Reddit platform ensures that the city dwellers have chosen their positive and negative favorites in different categories. One of the most exciting revelations concerns the city's “worst tourist trap”. This interesting vote took place in a Munich group with over 300,000 members and revealed the preferences of the users.

The members of the group were asked to choose their favorites in nine categories such as the best part of the city or the local hero. However, the vote was not representative-the voices were recorded by so-called upvotes (a kind of "like" function), which led to a variety of results.

The "worst tourist trap": S1 to the airport line

Within the "worst tourist trap" category, the most votes did not receive an expensive restaurant or an overcrowded attraction. Instead, the S-Bahn line S1, which leads to the airport, landed as a clear loser. The proposal that tourists in Neufahrn are going in the wrong direction and thereby reach Freising instead of the airport is of great approval and many know this problem only too well.

The S-Bahn line S1 is divided into Neufahrn, which often leads to confusion among travelers. While one part of the train is digging to the airport, the other goes to Freising. This situation can be particularly stressful when boarding a flight is due, since the information on the display boards and announcements often are not sufficient to orientate travelers. Even experienced Munichers can sometimes have difficulty finding the right wagon in good time, and missed trips often end in Freising.

A Reddit user summarized the dilemma concisely: "This is a literally a tourist trap", and numerous other users agree. Humorously, one of the citizens notices: "I love it. I am sometimes the only one who wants to go to Freising while I am surrounded by ten people who are all on their way to the airport." The uncertainty about the goal and the connection is reinforced by the high frequency of tourists who use this path.

tourist questions and tips from locals

The discussion also brought an interesting user into play who was planning a trip to Munich and was looking for more information about the S1. His question came up with great helpfulness and he got numerous helpful tips: "Oh wow, I'm so happy that you mentioned this. I will take this train in a few weeks and make sure that I get into the right wagon."

Another voice from the community offered practical information: "It will be clear from the announcements in the train stations, and the loudspeaker system on the train does the rest - it is often repeated in which part you are in." The repeated announcement should make sure that nobody accidentally caught the wrong train or even missed the plane.

Despite these suggestions, it is not excluded that travelers who want to go to the airport will continue to travel unintentionally to Freising, since this confusion apparently cannot be completely cleared.

Overall, the survey shows how important it is to offer travelers clear and understandable information, especially in a strongly frequented means of transport such as the S-Bahn. Such discussions on platforms such as Reddit not only open up insights into the perspectives of the users, but also promote the exchange between locals and visitors.
