Postal Services
The German postal service is quite reliable and efficient though rather expensive compared to other
countries. Domestic letters should normally be delivered within one day.
Stamps can be purchased at the post office, at vending machines outside the post office and often
in newspaper stores. The public post boxes are yellow. Most post offices open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
some smaller offices may close for lunch. Main post offices have extended opening hours. Below a
list of the main post offices in Munich:

The Deutsche Post publishes its rates and restrictions in a booklet called ‘Service-Informationen’,
which is available at all post offices. The same information in English is provided at the Deutsche
Post’s website:
