When approaching from the A9 Autobahn, take the Schwabing exit. Follow the signs to M-Zentrum and turn into Leopoldstraße (Schwabing). Pass the Siegestor and continue on Ludwigstraße until you reach von-der-Tann-Straße. Turn left here and at the next intersection turn right onto Franz-Josef-Strauß-Ring. After about 500 meters, Hofgartenstraße turns off to the right. Shortly after the crossroads you will find the Hofgartenpalais (Marstallstr. 11). Owing to heavy traffic and parking problems, however, it is advisable to use the Park & Ride system and public transportation (U3/U6 underground trains to ODEONSPLATZ (direction Olympiazentrum or Kieferngarten/Garching-Hochbrück)).
