By car

When approaching from the A9 Autobahn, take the Schwabing exit. Following the signs for the city centre (M-Zentrum), turn into Leopoldstraße (Schwabing). After approx. 3 km you will arrive at the Victory Arch (Siegestor), and at this point Leopoldstraße merges into Ludwigstraße. Keep going for another 600 m, then turn right into Theresienstraße. The Institute is located at the corner of Theresien-/Amalienstraße. 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, see above).

By plane

(see Google map)
Munich Airport is situated about 28 km north of Munich. As taking a taxi into the city will be expensive (60 – 70 EUR), it is recommended that you use the airport city train (S-Bahn). Tickets valid for all means of public transport in Munich can be purchased at the ticket vending machines. Please validate your ticket. Two airport city train lines, S1 and S8 (follow the signs to the S-Bahn), leave for Munich every ten minutes, taking you to MARIENPLATZ (city centre) within about 35 minutes. Change here to the U3 or U6 underground train heading for Olympiazentrum or Fröttmaning/Garching Hochbrück. Get off after one stop, i.e. at ODEONSPLATZ. Walk north along Ludwigstraße (keep left) towards the Victory Arch (Siegestor), and after approx. 300 m turn left into Theresienstraße. The Institute is located at the corner of Theresien-/Amalienstraße after another 200 m.
