Block time is about 40 to 50 minutes for the 150 km sector. Actual air time is around 20 minutes. This is an extremely short flight and most of the scheduled block time is ground movement at Munich Airport.
This route has been on and off over the years. Lufthansa has operated it as a hub feeder for connecting passengers. Check current schedules as it may not be active in all seasons. The rail alternative has made nonstop air service hard to sustain commercially.
The ICE high-speed train covers Munich to Nuremberg in about 1 hour. Trains depart every 30 to 60 minutes from Munich Hauptbahnhof. Door-to-door, the train is faster than flying when you include airport security, boarding, and transfer time on both ends. Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof is in the city center.
Only when you are connecting at Munich Airport from a long-haul flight on Lufthansa and have a through booking to Nuremberg. The checked bag transfer and single-ticket protection justify the short flight. For a standalone trip between the two cities, the train is always faster.
Nuremberg Airport (NUE) is a mid-size facility about 5 km north of the city center. The U-Bahn line U2 connects the airport to the main train station in 12 minutes. The terminal handles about 4 million passengers per year with service across Europe. It has a compact, easy-to-navigate layout.

Munich to Nuremberg: Bavarian Hub Feeder

MUC-NUE covers just 150 km with a block time of 40 to 50 minutes, though actual flying time is about 20 minutes. Lufthansa has operated this route as a connecting service for passengers transferring at Munich Airport. Direct air service may not be available in all seasons as the ICE train covers the same distance in about 1 hour from city center to city center, making standalone air travel impractical.

The train wins on every metric for point-to-point travel: frequency (every 30 to 60 minutes), reliability, and total journey time. The flight exists for Lufthansa's hub connectivity, getting passengers and their bags from intercontinental arrivals to Nuremberg on a single ticket. Nuremberg Airport is a compact facility 5 km north of the city center, connected by U-Bahn in 12 minutes. For travelers originating in Nuremberg and heading overseas via Munich, the through booking justifies the short hop.
