Getting to Freising

Freising is situated in Upper Bavaria in the environs of Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Regular S-Bahn (suburban train) services connect the cities. Freising is close to Munich International Airport and lies between the regional centres of Augsburg, Landshut and Regensburg. At the heart of Upper Bavaria, it is naturally easy to reach from all directions.
