Germany mobile networks
Munich is Germany's wealthiest large city and the network reflects it - dense 5G across the centre and out through the suburbs. The interesting cases here are seasonal: one festival that puts six million people through a single field, and mountains an hour to the south.
Munich, specifically
- Marienplatz, Maxvorstadt, Schwabing: Strong 5G. No notable dead spots in the centre.
- Oktoberfest: The Theresienwiese is the hardest test of any German network. Roughly six million visitors over two weeks, concentrated on one site, and the operators bring in temporary capacity every year specifically for it. It still slows at peak - agree a meeting point with your group rather than relying on finding each other by phone.
- The Englischer Garten: Covered end to end, including the surfers at the Eisbach wave.
- S-Bahn and U-Bahn: Generally covered. The S-Bahn trunk route through the centre is the busiest stretch of railway in Germany and gets congested at rush hour.
- Day trips to the Alps: Garmisch, Neuschwanstein and the lakes are covered in the towns and along the roads. Up on the Zugspitze and out on the hiking trails there are real gaps - the cable car stations have service, the ridges do not.
Germany, and the EU
One plan covers all of Germany, and EU roaming carries it into Austria at domestic rates - useful, since Innsbruck and Salzburg are closer to Munich than Berlin is.

Arriving in Munich
Airport Wi-Fi at MUC
Munich's free Wi-Fi has no time limit, but it asks for an email address before it lets you through - a small thing that is still slower than landing with data already working, particularly with a 40-minute S-Bahn ride ahead of you.

Frequently asked questions
Where to buy a SIM card in Munich?
Operator stores around Marienplatz and in the Hauptbahnhof, plus prepaid packs in Rossmann and the supermarkets. Note that the pack you buy off a shelf will not work until it is identity-verified.
What does German SIM verification involve?
A German prepaid line has to be tied to a verified identity before it carries traffic - that has been the rule since 2017. In practice you either complete a Video-Ident call or go into a shop or a Deutsche Post branch with your passport.
The video route is the one that fails: the systems expect German or EU identity documents, and non-EU passport holders report rejected sessions. If you are only here for a week, doing it in person is the faster gamble. Or skip it - an Ohayu plan has no German number and no verification step.
Will my plan work at Oktoberfest?
It will connect, but expect it to be slow at peak hours. Six million people over two weeks on one site is more load than any network handles gracefully, even with the temporary masts the operators install for the festival. Data works; uploading video at 8pm on a Saturday is optimistic.
eSIM not working in Munich?
On the Theresienwiese during the festival, slow means congestion rather than a fault. Up a mountain, the gap is real. Otherwise make Ohayu the mobile data line, allow roaming, and cycle Airplane mode. Chat and support@ohayu.com are open 24/7.
