Tickets:
There are many different tickets offered, but these are our suggestions (the same ticket is valid for trains, buses and trams):
- To get from the airport to the city centre and the inner main ring around the city centre we recommend to take a day ticket for the entire network (Single-Tageskarte Gesamtnetz, 10,40 Euro).
- If you want to get from your hotel in Munich to the conference, it is the easiest to buy a Munich XXL day ticket (Munchen XXL Tageskarte, 7,00 Euro).
- If your hotel is located in Garching you can also go for an outer district day ticket (Single-Tageskarte Ausenraum, 5,20 Euro). But that ticket is not valid for the use of public transport in the center.
