Munich Airport, Central Europe
(Ranked No. 5)
As the hub of Lufthansa, Munich Airport (MUC) is a key gateway to central Europe but is actually a place you could hang around a while too. Over the year, the airport hosts a range of seasonal events including winter ice skating, Christmas markets and, of course, Oktoberfest. Voted 6th best airport 2018 by Skytrax and 5th by Conde Nast, Munich Airport has over 150 retail outlets and 50 places to eat and drink. Named as the best airport in Europe, the facilities make you believe you’re in a bustling city centre, and not a faceless airport terminal. The onsite hotel, Hilton Munich, scooped third place in the best airport hotels 2018 from Skytrax too, so stopovers should be equally awesome.
