Local information for Conference Participants
Travel to Munich and…
If travel to Germany by plane, the easiest airport to go to is Munich (Franz-Josef-Strauß Airport). Munich airport is located to the northeast of Munich and can be reached by public transports on the suburban trains S1 and S8. Travel downtown (where both the conference venue and the hotels are) takes about 40 minutes. Either train takes you to Marienplatz station in the city center, where you need to change to the underground/subway trains U3 (direction Moosach or Olympiazentrum) and U6 (direction Garching Forschungszentrum or Fröttmaning) to “Münchener Freiheit” station, on Leopoldstraße.
If you travel to Munich by rail, you will arrive at Hauptbahnhof near the city center. It’s about a 4.5km walk from there to the hotels. Alternatively, take a suburban train (any suburban train) to Marienplatz station in the city center, and follow directions as above. Your train ticket may already include a city ticket for Munich, in which case you will not need to purchase anything additional.
We recommend installing the MVV-App (see: https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/) on your phone to buy the cheapest tickets—simply enter your destination (“Münchener Freiheit”) and follow the connections indicated; this will let you pay with your credit card as well, and allow you to purchase further tickets during your stay in Munich. Alternatively, individual paper tickets may be bought off the vending machines in the stations. Please make sure you have bought a ticket before you get to the platforms—while it’s not likely, you may run afoul of a ticket check even on the platform.
Hotels
Attendees are staying at either the
Fleming’s Hotel München-Schwabing, Leopoldstr. 130-132, 80804 München
or the
Mercure Hotel München-Schwabing, Leopoldstr. 120, 80804 München
Both of these hotels are located about half a kilometer north of “Münchner Freiheit” subway station, and about 1km from the Center for Advanced Studies. As you exit the subway station, head north on Leopoldstraße (you’re heading north if the road bends ever so slightly to the left); both hotels are on the right side of the road.
…to the Conference Venue
The conference venue is the Center for Advanced Studies of Ludwig-Maximilians-University, located at Seestraße 13, about 1km walk from the hotel. The easiest way to walk is down Leopoldstraße back to Münchener Freiheit, then turning left into Feilitzstraße until you find Werneckstraße on your right. Turn into Werneckstraße and walk until Seestraße appears on your left. CAS is on the left side as you walk down Seestraße.
