If you buy your admission ticket in advance you will also receive Messe München's MVV trade fair ticket. This entitles you to use all of Munich's public transportions (MVV - urban railway, underground, trams and buses) to and from the trade fair grounds. It may also be used only in conjunction with a valid admission ticket issued by Messe München GmbH. Visitors with a guest ticket may also use Messe München's free MVV trade fair ticket to travel to the trade fair grounds.

Cost: Unless otherwise posted, tickets cost EUR 7.00 one-way and EUR 12.00 round trip.
When: The buses run during the trade fairs at 30 minute intervals non-stop from the airport to the trade fair grounds. The ride takes about 45 minutes, traffic permitting.
Where: The shuttle buses stop directly in front of Terminal 1, Area A and Area Z (Central Area) and in front of Terminal 2.

BUS
A quick and comfortable means of transport between Munich airport and the Munich city center is the Lufthansa airport bus. The bus has 7 alternative routes in order to avoid traffic jams.

This bus travels every 20 minutes in both directions between the main station (“Hauptbahnhof”) and the airport. The service runs 5.10am - 7.50pm from Munich and 6.20am - 9.40pm from the airport.

For passengers heading to Schwabing (the northern part of Munich) the bus also stops at “Nordfriedhof” where there is a convenient connection to the U-Bahn.

Travel times are 45 minutes between the airport and the city center, and 30 minutes between the airport and Schwabing.

Tickets are purchased on the bus. In order to find the bus at the airport simply follow the "bus" signs that are hard to miss. If a taxi is needed once in the city, inform the bus driver and he will phone ahead for you.

MUNICH PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Munich’s public transport system is excellent, it is fast, safe, clean and extremely reliable. Options include the U-Bahn (underground), S-Bahn (urban railway), buses and trams. Taxi's are also readily available at the airport and downtown. For those who want to cruise the autobahn, a US drivers license is sufficient to rent a car.

Tickets for public transport can be purchased from ticket machines, at ticket offices at underground and urban railway stations, and from bus and tram drivers. Make sure to have enough small change.

There are single and multiple-ride tickets. The fare depends on the number of zones. Within the city boundaries, and therefore when traveling to the New Munich Trade Fair Center, you must stamp 2 stripes of the multiple-ride ticket at the machines provided.

At the airport, the “S1” and “S8” run directly to the city center and the main train station (“Hauptbahnhof”), where you can change trains to virtually all subway lines. Subway lines “U2” and “U7” lead directly to the Munich Trade Fair Center (“Messestadt West” and “East)”, with stops at the West and the East end of the exhibit area. Check your show hall plan to see which stop would be most convenient for you. Also located near the subway stops in the Trade Fair Center are check-in counters for Lufthansa airlines.
