Single Day Ticket

Before buying a day ticket you decide which validity it should have. The MVV area is valid for all ticket offers in tariff zones
divided:

• The M-Zone encompasses the entire city of Munich and in part extends beyond it
• The Zones 1 - 12 comprise the interconnected districts belonging to the MVV area
• Munich Airport is located in Zone 5
• On the network plans, each stop is also marked with the corresponding zone (e.g. Harthaus in zone M - 1)

For the desired day ticket, the corresponding area of validity must be selected on the basis of the desired relations, e.g. Zone M for journeys in the city of Munich or Zone M - 5 for journeys from the airport to the city of Munich and for journeys in the city of Munich. In principle the following applies: In the zone tariff, i.e. single tickets, strip tickets and day tickets, at least zone M or two tariff zones must always be paid; this is the basic price for these tickets.

Yes, you do. All tickets must be stamped prior to the start of your journey. However: tickets bought at ticket machines on trams or buses as well as OnlineTickets are already validated at the time of purchase. 

When using the ticket machines of Deutsche Bahn, you can choose whether to buy pre-validated tickets or tickets which must be validated separately.

The simple Day Ticket is valid until 6 am the following day.
