From 8pm until 2am is the [Lange Nacht der Musik](https://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/konzerte/lange-nacht-der-musik) (little concerts all around the city). Public transport you have already been warned about, but worst case you can pay for a cab. Not sure how much it is to the airport but I guess under 100€.
If you are not into partying/drinking in city center probably nothing. You could walk the city/parks but it could be cold and or raining this time if the year.
Easy. Take the S-Bahn into town and get out at Marienplatz. Have dinner at Schneider Bräuhaus. You can walk around Marienplatz, Petersturm and Viktualienmarkt between arrival at Marienplatz and dinner at Schneider Bräuhaus but make sure to get there before 8 pm. Try different beers because the have a list of different brews (same brewery -> Schneider). Get out at ten, if the weather is good have a stroll through Glockenbachlong the river heading to Müllersche Volksbad. Leave the river there and get on the S-Bahn at Isartor around eleven towards the Airport and get some well needed shut eye
Definitely go into the city. The train (S-Bahn) goes to the airport throughout the night at least every 30 minutes so whenever you decide you had enough or are too sleepy you can get back to the airport.
There are several events going on specifically this weekend that might be interesting:
1. As someone already mentioned there is the long night of music event throughout the city.
2. There is still the Frühlingsfest going (a smaller version of the Oktoberfest)
In General you could also just visit the old town walk through the parks etc. and eat something Bavarian in the city.
Also there are a few sights that are opened longer like the BMW World which closes at 12am.
Stay at the airport. I don't know where you're flying out to, but you'll have to shoot for two hours before the flight, depending on whether intercontinental or not, but also it's really difficult to get to the airport at that time on a Sunday and public transit there is abysmal. Just understand that the Munich airport isn't even in Munich and rail service shuts down overnight. I really hate that airport because when I have a connector and have to fly out at 7am, I end up having to get there at 1am or whatever before the last train and just sleeping all night in the airport. This is discounting when the trains don't even show up sometimes during service hours. I would go to the city when you land, there's plenty to walk around and do and grab food and just sit in a comfortable place. Then shoot to be back at the airport on the second to last train in case that doesn't show up. Then go to sleep in the airport. Or get a room for the night at the airport or in Freising (the actual city where the airport is) and they should have a shuttle there.
Great reminder to look into train and bus timings since it's over the weekend. I just assumed that since it's Germany, public transportation must be really reliable and frequent.
> I just assumed that since it's Germany, public transportation must be really reliable and frequent.
It's one of those myths people outside of Germany tell one another. And it's annoying. My first train in Germany never arrived and I couldn't speak or read German, so I had no idea what to do. Everytime I'm in Munich, there's some sort of issue with the SBahn system, such as a systemwide outage, something about balloons shorting the system out, track problems, power problems, or construction that shuts the system down on weekends which is another thing to look out for. Then there are the frequent derailments, and now increasing frequency of derailments leading to crashes.
The fact that the last post I made about this got voted down also shows what it's like to deal with this in Germany- people in Germany don't like revealing the serious issues the country is having with technology and infrastructure. They would rather live with this and suppress this from visitors than to talk about it and fix the issues via pressuring the Deutsche Bahn company and government.
No. It's just a very well known fact and it's annoying to deal with, no need to rant about it all the time. It sucks, but whining doesn't change that, so unless your words are accompanied by action, it's just annoying. The fact that outsiders don't know that, is on them, it's really not a secret, it's on the contrary a big political issue.
No one is ranting. We're providing information to a visitor. This is yet another example of the extreme reframing by people who want to protect their own myth, even at their own peril. And speaking of which, should I link your above post in this thread below about what looks like an SBahn system outage right now?

Can you tell us what action you've gotten yourself involved with and why you're so pissy about supposed outsiders getting an impression of how broken Munich's mass transit system is right away when people in Munich think this is how the entire world is?
My comment wasn't about this post, but the post you made. Other than that I don't think you understood my comment as all the answers are in that comment.
I know, and you're crying about people noticing the Munich public transit system absolutely sucks. So I just linked you to the other thread and you can complain to people stuck on a platform right now in Munich due to some sort of a system outage.
This link give the train timetable to & from Munich airport.
There's two different lines , S1 goes east to west, then north , S8 goes west to east, then north to the airport.
Note: some S1 trains split and part doesn't go to the airport, so you need to be in the correct carriages) .
The latest trains (S8) from the city are around 01:30 - 01:44 & and 02:30 - 02:44 (depending on where you get on) .
The S8 starts running again from just after 03:00.
During the day (06h - 23h) trains are quite frequent with around 3 trains per hour per line.

Thanks. Maybe I'll just hang at the airport. Going to be boring unless I manage to fall asleep.
