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:
