Airport arrival

Munich Airport is outside the city center. Before travelling, compare airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-festival routes instead of choosing an airport transfer based solely on the festival grounds.

Public transport and luggage

Munich’s metropolitan train network offers airport connections. Check the official network for live departures, ticket information and interchange details. Allow extra time if you have heavy luggage or arrive close to a reserved session.

A smoother first day

Check in at your accommodation first when practical, prepare suitable clothing and travel onward to the festival without large baggage. Official bag and security restrictions should be consulted in advance.
