Munich is very much a walking city, but there are many other means of transportation. The Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV) consists of several methods of transportation: S-bahn, U-bahn, tram, city bus, and regional bus.  The web-page of the public-transport-company in Munich (MVV)  is www.mvv-muenchen.de   (also in English).  On this website, you can find the appropriate ticket for your traveling needs. You can also search for addresses, so you don't have to know the name of the next stop from your hotel. 

Example of a ticket choice: If you are staying in Munich for several days and are sightseeing in the city, you might consider buying a 3-day partner pass (covers the inner zone/white zone only and is valid for up to 5 adults)  A CityTourCard is also available to visitors of Munich.  It includes public transportation and discounts in Munich.  Click here to find out more about the CityTourCard.  There are many other ticket options where you can choose a specific zone to travel within.
