robertmartha Posted August 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We will be sailing Christmas Day out of Vilshofen. We will be staying in Munich for the a few days prior and taking the train Christmas Day. Is it possible to walk from the train station to the port? Being Christmas Day hoping we can, so we do not need to worry if a taxi is avalable when we arrive Did a search on the internet and found a map but we all know (and I have experienced) maps can be deceiving with distance! All able bodied so we can walk with our suitcase rolling behind! Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuelScience Posted August 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Using google maps you can get directions. It looks like it's about 1 km to the nearest docking location and 1.8 km to the most distant. (maps.google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted August 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is Ama offering a transfer from Munich? I know they offer extensions in Munich. Even if you don't purchase extension you can purchase transfer. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted August 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2017 No experience with Vilshofen per se but we have walked to other river cruise docks without a problem. We try to keep it a kilometer or less when we're dragging suitcases, but I don't see why you couldn't do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmartins Posted August 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We walked from the cruise terminal to the train station. Wasn't a long walk but it maybe difficult with luggage. Friends took a taxi with their luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmartha Posted August 18, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thank you all at least we know if we arrive and there is not a taxi in sight - we can walk over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted August 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There are unlikely to be taxis in sight. Your ship can arrange one, but taxis don't hang around river cruise dockings the way they do around cruise terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caviargal Posted August 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Coming in by train - looking for taxi train station to port There should be taxis at the station. I would go prepared with the number of a local service to call, since it is Christmas Day. You can use Google Maps to calculate whether it is walkable for you.
