5-minute walk from Terminal 1 check-in: that’s P20 Parkhaus
P20 Parkhaus sits at the Munich Airport Center between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, so you walk indoors to both terminals in roughly 5–8 minutes. The multi-storey garage connects directly into the MAC, which is the central plaza with shops and security access for both sides of the airport.
This is covered parking across multiple levels, with standard car spaces arranged in typical European dimensions, tighter than many US garages. Because it’s at the MAC, P20 works for flights from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, including Lufthansa and Star Alliance long-haul out of T2.
P20 runs 24/7 with entry and exit lanes open around the clock, tied into Munich Airport’s central parking system. Booking a space online in advance usually prices lower than drive-up, and your booking confirmation will list “P20 Parkhaus, Munich Airport Center” as the product.
Payment is via ticket machines or pay stations near the MAC entrance, taking major credit cards and German debit (EC) cards. Keep the paper ticket you receive at the barrier; losing it triggers a high replacement fee that’s clearly posted on the tariff board by the P20 elevators.
Height restriction in P20 is standard for a multi-storey European garage, so taller vans and motorhomes often get redirected to open-air parking like P41 or P51. If your vehicle is close to 2.0 meters, check the exact clearance listed on the P20 entrance sign before taking a ticket.
Tip: park near the stairwells and elevators on levels signed for “MAC” access; those doors drop you straight into the Munich Airport Center and shorten the walk to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 security checkpoints.
