27 Best European Airports To Be Stuck At For A Layover Or Delay

19. Munich Airport (MUC), Germany – A Mini City with a Brewery

Munich Airport isn’t just a transit hub; it’s a destination in itself. With its own brewery (Airbräu), an outdoor beer garden, and a winter Christmas market with an ice-skating rink, it’s one of Europe’s most entertaining layover spots. Travelers can relax in nap pods, explore designer shops, or enjoy fine dining at Dallmayr Bistro. If you have a long layover, the city center is just 40 minutes away by train, making it easy to sneak in a visit to Marienplatz or a Bavarian beer hall.
