About This Transfer
The Old Town is behind you and there is a plane to catch, so the priority flips: this run is about getting from your Nuremberg hotel to the right terminal at Munich Airport with time to spare, not about the view from the window. A driver at your door at the hour you choose - including the small hours for an early departure, or straight from a NürnbergMesse hall after the last day of a fair - takes the timing worry off your last morning in Franconia.
The route retraces the way in, just reversed: out of Nuremberg onto the A9 southbound, a clear straight motorway across the Altmühltal nature park and the gentle hills of Upper Bavaria, then onto the A92 and round to Munich Airport on the eastern side of the city. It is about 170km and runs around 2 hours when the roads are clear. The one thing to plan for on this direction is the A99 Munich ring near the airport, which thickens in the weekday rush, so the sensible move is to leave with a margin rather than cut it fine. If you want the full picture of the airport at the other end - terminals, check-in timing, security - our Munich Airport guide for 2026 walks through how MUC works for departures and connections.
Nuremberg rewards an unhurried last morning if your flight allows it - a final coffee on the Hauptmarkt below the Kaiserburg, a walk along the Pegnitz, or a last bag of Lebkuchen for the journey. Business travellers leaving a trade fair usually have the opposite need: a clean, early getaway from the Messe grounds straight to the terminal, with the run planned around the morning rush rather than the sightseeing.
This is a domestic German transfer, so there is no border and no car toll: German motorways charge cars nothing and need no vignette, and the A9 south is free the whole way. The fare reflects the distance and the door-to-door service, not road charges, and with an early or post-fair flight the value is simple - a confirmed pickup time and one car straight to the terminal beats an ICE to Munich, a change, and the S-Bahn out again with your bags.
✓ Pickup timed to your departure, any hour
✓ Hotel or Messe door to T1 or T2, no changes
✓ Toll-free A9 south the whole way
Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance — you enjoy the scenery.
Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg) and the Old Town
A last glimpse before you go: the Kaiserburg on its sandstone ridge above the red roofs of the Altstadt, the medieval walls, Dürer's house and the Hauptmarkt where the Christkindlesmarkt stands in December. If your flight is late enough, a morning walk up to the castle courtyard for the view over the city is a fine send-off before the A9 south.
Kaiserburg official site →Altmühltal Nature Park
Soon after Nuremberg the A9 enters the Altmühltal, one of Germany's largest nature parks, a landscape of pale Jurassic limestone cliffs, juniper slopes and the slow Altmühl river. This is fossil country, where the Archaeopteryx was found, and the cliffs flank the motorway near Greding and Denkendorf. A green, open stretch to ease into the drive south.
Altmühltal Nature Park →Ingolstadt
Roughly two thirds of the way to the airport, Ingolstadt is the Audi city and a handsome old Danube town behind it, with the New Castle, the Asam-decorated Maria de Victoria church, and a ring of medieval gates. If your timing is generous it makes a natural leg-stretch on the way out, with the Audi forum just off the motorway. A practical last break before Munich.
Ingolstadt tourism →Munich Airport (MUC)
The run ends on the eastern side of Munich at the airport, where the A92 brings you in to Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Lufthansa and Star Alliance use T2; most other airlines use T1. The driver drops you at the correct departures terminal for your airline, so you are not crossing the terminal gap with luggage. The Munich ring (A99) is the last variable, busiest in the weekday rush.

Local Route Knowledge
Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.
Best Travel Times
For a flight, the clock that matters is the A99 ring near the airport. It clogs on weekday mornings (roughly 07:00-09:00) and evenings (16:00-18:30), so build that into your pickup time rather than the open A9, which flows well almost always. An early start out of Nuremberg usually beats the worst of the Munich ring and gives the cleanest run to the terminal.
Traffic Patterns
The A9 is a busy north-south motorway with heavy lorry traffic and the odd roadworks stretch, but it flows freely most of the day. The bottleneck is always the Munich ring at the airport end. The Nuremberg exit can also be slow when a NürnbergMesse fair lets out, so a post-fair departure benefits from leaving ahead of the crush. None of it is a problem with a sensible buffer.
Road & Border Notes
No border and no car toll - domestic Germany needs no vignette and charges cars nothing on the motorway, unlike Austria or Switzerland. The A9 is fast, modern motorway the whole way. Winter brings cold Franconian fog and the occasional snow band across the Altmühltal, so carriers run winter tyres in season and pad the time when visibility drops, which matters most for an early flight.
Carrier Tip
Share your flight number, not just a rough time, so the carrier can set a pickup that covers check-in, the 2 hour drive and the A99 ring with margin. If you are leaving from a NürnbergMesse hall, give the hall number or entrance; the grounds are large. For a very early departure, confirm the pickup the night before, since no useful train runs at that hour anyway.

When to Travel This Route
Demand, pricing, and what to expect across the year.
Winter (Dec-Mar)
Peak SeasonDecember departures fill the moment the Christkindlesmarkt visitors start heading home, so book the outbound transfer early and leave extra margin for Franconian fog or snow on the A9. January and February calm down apart from winter trade-fair weeks. For an early flight in winter, the door pickup matters most - no useful train runs at dawn.
- Christkindlesmarkt departures peak (December, around 24 December)
- New Year travel (late December to early January)
- Winter trade-fair departures at NürnbergMesse (January to February)
Spring (Apr-May)
High DemandA busy season for business departures around the spring trade-fair calendar, with leisure travel building as the weather warms. Mild conditions make the A9 straightforward and the outbound run predictable. Book ahead around major fair dates; weekends outside them are easier.
- Spring trade-fair departures at NürnbergMesse (spring)
- Easter travel spike (March or April)
- Start of the Franconian festival season (May)
Summer (Jun-Sep)
High DemandLong days make early departures painless, and the outbound transfers stay steady through the festival and trade-fair season. Demand is heaviest around the Bardentreffen music festival and big fair weeks rather than constant. Reserve a week or two ahead in summer to be safe.
- Departures after the Bardentreffen festival (late July)
- Summer trade-fair departures at NürnbergMesse (summer)
- Holiday-season flights (July to August)
Autumn (Oct-Nov)
ModerateThe quietest, easiest window for an outbound run before December returns. October keeps autumn colour over the castle and the Altmühltal for a last morning, and the autumn fair calendar keeps business travel ticking. Good availability for short-notice bookings and the smoothest roads of the year.
- Autumn trade-fair departures at NürnbergMesse (October to November)
- Autumn colour around the Kaiserburg (October)
- Quiet shoulder-season departures (November)
