Munich to Zürich

The 315 km Munich-to-Zurich drive crosses the Austrian border briefly via the A96, passes through Lindau on Lake Constance, then enters Switzerland via the A1 to Zurich. The journey takes about 3.5 hours. The direct EC train takes 3h40 but runs only a few times daily and does not stop at Zurich Airport — a chauffeured ride provides flexibility for lakeside stops in Lindau or Bregenz.
