German officials say there is no sign of any imminent terror attack, after an alert that shut down two Munich railway stations on New Year's Eve.
"The situation has eased a bit again," said Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann. Munich's main station and Pasing station reopened in the morning.
He said the temporary closure had been necessary because the intelligence service had got a "specific" warning.
That warning spoke of a threat from Islamic State (IS) suicide bombers.
Police say they are looking for "five to seven" suspects, believed to be Iraqis and Syrians.
But the state of alert now is "as it was before last night", Mr Herrmann told the Bavarian state broadcaster BR. He added that Europe was facing "a general, permanent terror threat".
Referring to the Munich scare, Mr Herrmann said the authorities "have nothing concrete about a place or time".
Names being checked
Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said his force had some names which were being checked on police databases, but had no details of the suspects' whereabouts.
He urged residents of the southern German city to "carry on living as you did previously".
A police spokeswoman said the tip-off about an IS plot had come from the French secret service.
Elizabeth Matzinger said the French "gave us the hint that there was a suicide bomb attack planned for Munich during the last night at about 12 o'clock".
