Memmingen Allgau Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Memmingen Airport is tiny and has no hotels nearby: the dedicated shuttle connects the terminal to Memmingen station in about 10 minutes, with runs coordinated to flight times and included in the train ticket. From there the medieval historic centre is a few minutes' walk away. Those arriving by car who want to stay closer to the motorway and the airport will find simple hotels in the northern part of town; those who prefer to sleep among the half-timbered houses of the old town, near the market square and Rathaus, have more choice and venues open in the evening.

Memmingen North

Neighbourhood · About 6.5 km from the airport, near the motorway exit; reaching the historic centre needs a car or a taxi, about 10 minutes.

Best for: Those arriving by car who want to stay close to the motorway and the airport, without going into the city.

Pros

Free parking right outside the hotel
Sauna and Turkish bath area, handy after a long flight

Cons

An industrial area, no restaurants or shops within walking distance
Designed for those with a car: the shuttle from the station doesn't come out this far
